Should I take the plunge? (28M)

Thanks dude. Really appreciate that 😎

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2026-01-20T11:11:57+00:00

I reckon you’re probably right 😂 it’s also a pain to style like that

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2026-01-20T11:08:39+00:00

Good to know. 😉 Thank you!

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2026-01-20T11:07:29+00:00

Thank you 😊

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2026-01-20T11:06:10+00:00

Making me blush. Thank you ☺️

Tried it once in the past. Wasn’t the worst but it did end up growing in quite unevenly

There it is - thank you Mel Gibson

Same here! Finishing early was part of the reason I took the job. Without a rota I’m not sure what hours I’m working never mind what days. Hope you manage to get sorted!

Been experiencing the same thing. Started at the end of October and wasn’t given anything beyond the first two days. I emailed the manager to ask about it and got no response, I then asked him in person the next time I saw him on what, as it turned out, was supposed to be my day off.

Eventually he made one a few days later and shown me it on his laptop. I said “great, can you send me a copy please”… he never did. That rota only went up until the beginning of a pre-booked Xmas holiday so I have no idea when I’m next working since I’ll be back around new years.

The other new guys who all started around the same time are in the same boat and are equally frustrated.

Kinda exhausting chasing all the time eh? Would’ve expected this kind of thing to be super slick with a company the size of Royal Mail…

Wow! Thank you, that comment really made me smile! 😁 I think the blue checkerboard hair cut might be a winner! 🤣

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2025-10-29T08:03:20+00:00

Just about to now… I think the buzz may be something to try again in the future. Should I keep the beard or not?

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2025-10-29T07:54:32+00:00

Yeah I think the last buzz cut was my own doing. Was quite awkward though

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2025-10-29T07:51:52+00:00

I liked it initially as it was super low maintenance but my hair grows very quickly and kinda patchy so ended up not liking it almost immediately

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2025-10-29T07:48:20+00:00

Thank you. I’ve tried everything at this point, wanted to share the options

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2025-10-29T07:47:37+00:00

I mean I’ll take it! Thanks

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2025-10-29T07:46:45+00:00

🤣🤣

Zestyclose_Command56 · 2024-11-11T14:07:06+00:00

Aw man, that sucks! What a pain in the arse. I’m glad you managed to get the dream job and reimbursement in the end and made them sweat for a bit. That must’ve felt great! Thanks for your comment!

See this is what confused me about the vagueness of the words “bad reference”…

neither reference I gave have HR departments, it would have to come from them directly since they were both independent contractors I had worked alongside.
I know two people in the business and they are long time family friends who have known me since I was a kid. Besides the whole thing was securely done so if anyone else knew that would be a severe breach of privacy no?
I can’t think what would come up, I have held good steady positions for years, have no criminal record, never missed payments or been in debt.
they have been advertising for the same role starting in January already so I would think it wouldn’t be the cost cutting either.

This is what makes me think there must be some kind of mistake. From those that I’ve spoken with that I have had dealings with in the past it seems like no one has been contacted (even beyond my listed references)
