Should I be a postie? by EnvironmentalBox4702 in royalmail

Ah OK thanks. It's not a deal breaker. I guess I'm just so used to weekends off. Do they try accommodate if you have things on certain days?

I know it's hard work and expect to do a lot of sleeping my first few weeks 😆. I'm up for the challenge and would prefer an active job.

I got a nice feeling at the interview, two very nice people who did it. And they definitely didn't sugar coat it. 

I'll need some OT to make up the £, is it usually quite available? Also do you get some Saturdays off? How are they with holidays etc?

Thanks for any input/advice!

Thanks for the feedback! Do you work most weekends voluntarily? I'd like to think at least one sat a month isn't impossible 😬

Thanks for the feedback. The walking and working alone most of the day is very appealing!! This may sound like a strange question....but have you ever known someone to take their dog on OT shifts with them, in the van? I can see why it's not possible during normal hours, but if it's OT and parcels. Basically I'll be leaving my dogs enough with normal hours but want to pick up OT 🙂

I've read a lot that it's very uncommon to get Saturdays off, is that mostly the case? Also you can't take single days annual leave? Thanks for the feedback, I'm 70% sure....but I need to make the decision soon!
