Thought there were health and safety issues carrying bags on your shoulders.That will obviously go out of the window so the newbies get round quicker!!!

customers ranting at them for late deliveries or not shutting their gate 3 weeks ago.

Good lord the gate obsession boils my piss, I always shut them if they're shut on arrival, if open I leave them open... Somehow it's my job to ensure all gates are shut, even had some woman follow me to another loop to tell me I'd left her gate open and I hadn't even delivered there

Been there so many times myself.

Good luck to the newbies coming in to their new jobs thinking it's all sweetness, coffee and donut stops. You're all in for the shock of your lives and a massive reality check.

Not to mention hightailing it down a few garden paths after Rocky got out and decided he wanted a piece of you.

Please leave my cat out of this.

Believe it or not have had a cat go for me on a doorstep. The nastiest thug looking ginger tom I've ever seen

We've been busily creating something new and exciting! So pleased to share a sneaky peak at our new recruitment campaign "For the people".

Why does Royal Mail fear putting white male faces in any of it's output?

We are a proud diverse company, but we are not made up of 97% women, posties of black ethnicity or Asian workers as every Courier or promotional video suggests.

Represent the white male too! It's not a bad thing!

(Yes it's okay to mention this if we're ever going to embrace equality)

Its quite revealing that it bothers you so much.

Yep there we go. Another fkin pleb.
It bothers me cos its beyond silly.

haha was thinking the same myself ,,,cracker

Falsely portraying the job like that could come back to bite them on the backside in a big way. Imagine all the "youngsters" seeing that thinking it's going to be just another social event at work and then they walk in on day one and see the $hit show the job actually is indoors then the looks of disbelief and horror on their faces when they get back after 4-5hrs of delivering and not even a chance to pop into a bakers or cafe for a coffee and donut or have a conversation with a pensioner and customers ranting at them for late deliveries or not shutting their gate 3 weeks ago. Not to mention hightailing it down a few garden paths after Rocky got out and decided he wanted a piece of you.

Staff turnover is going to skyrocket.........

Brilliant. I have seen these very looks of disbelief and horror. It's normally okay for the first couple of days, put on a sedentary walk with a WPC. It's when a few people ring in sick on Wednesday and bright eyed newbie is herded off to work with Mick the seniority hardened Moaner on a duty that hasn't gone out or been so much as prepped in three days.

That look of disbelief and horror of which you speak then starts to morph into panicked fear as the COM soothes into their ear "you don't have any problems staying out over your time until it's cleared, do you?"

Followed by “erm well I have a hospital appointment at 4” to which the CON says “oh you’ll be done well before then, won’t you Mick?” which results in Mick nearly choking on his false teeth. “Just take it out, see how you get on and give me a ring later.”

Later on phone switched off, CON is on the golf course.

And they wonder why our retention rate for new starters is about 20%.

It’s funny but very true even the com bit !
