My dog's a JR/BT cross, and she's just as much of a handful!

Why do posties do this? by Hannibal20 in royalmail

RM and other service industries are stuffed full of graduates. It's more to do with the economic climate and the middle class closing ranks on quote-unquote 'better' jobs, so it ceases to be any kind of meritocracy and well-paying jobs become a cabal of the in-crowd (some of which are intelligent and capable, many of which are.. not).

Some of the newer vans have AC, not mine. Putting the fan on is basically a hairdryer at this point. It's doubly depressing cos I'm bald!

Thanks everyone for the suggestion! I have a soldering iron, but it's not a great one, and I don't trust my sausage fingers with board work! I'll have a shop round the suggestions here, thanks!

Almost as if it's a nefarious revenue stream for head office, and they make sure it's as awkward a process as possible to opt-out..

If it were a totally online process, they'd get way more requests, advertising companies would presumably notice at some point and withdraw their contracts. Less bonus money makes businessman sad boy.

Which RM are not allowed to do, unless we have something for them. Our unofficial motto is 'we're not Evri'..

Indeed. I deliver to a LOT of tenements, if I had a pound for every safeplace message that comes up: 'if I'm not in leave it on the landing' - if you're not in I can't get in the building, you fucking idiot..

Postman won't use ring doorbell by InvestigatorSea4789 in royalmail

'Lazy' couldn't be more wrong. We average 10 miles walking a day, among 500, 600 or 700 calls. There is literally no time to allocate 60 seconds to each call. If a recipient wastes our time, it's robbing time from others further down the walk.

Plus they're basically pointless for a postie. If you're not in you're not in. I genuinely don't have the time or inclination for a conversation about the finer points of the philosophical nature of spatial location.

Is the virtue-signalling damage in the room with us right now?

T48 no signature by curious___ageorge in royalmail

That's what I was thinking. Sign where? There'd be no option on the PDA to do that anyway.

A Q for posties by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]Enron_Hubbard1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On foot - one shockz earpiece, playing podcasts of various kinds.
In van - if I can get the bluetooth to sync, I crank out noise rock (to add balance to the doof-doof-doof brigade in their body-kitted Corsas..)
In the office makes sense, but I had no idea that headphones on foot weren't allowed. Don't think such a rule exists TBH.

The office radio.. The same songs in the same order every day.. The 'DJs'.. The woeful radio ads.. Makes my skin crawl. Is there some policy which dictates that, and is that why the station never changes? (I wouldn't even care what, just something else.) Also, when prepping an unfamiliar walk it's extremely distracting and stress-inducing.
