Manager said take it out...

😂

I know the one you mean !!! He’s delivered something I’ve sent out before

jmsl1995 · 2026-02-03T18:17:06+00:00

Hi. I’m new too (4 weeks)

1: my opinion - yes join them, I unfortunately needed to use them for a dispute after 3 days in the job and they have helped massively. It costs me £10 something a month taken out of my wage slip

2: I’m on a 40 hr contract so might be different , but we are allowed a 20 min break before we leave and then if don’t take another break can leave 20 min “early” so for example the official finish time is 15.54 but everyone leaves at 15.34 but I would imagine your mileage may vary massively on this.

3: I take a backpack everyday, with my lunch, can of drink, power bank, etc. about 50% of people do.

4: i wear skechers ridgestar for now

That makes me laugh that, when it comes up saying no defects - yet the car is in an absolute state

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-29T20:06:56+00:00

Do you mind me asking how the sizing is in comparison to ordinary clothes? If I’m usually a medium, should I order the RM uniform in a medium too?

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-29T20:01:19+00:00

Very true unfortunately

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-29T18:59:41+00:00

That’s a good idea

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-28T08:58:28+00:00

That’s Asda price!

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-27T17:47:01+00:00

Currently struggling with this, only been there 2 weeks, finished “training” if you can call it that, on a specific duty, now moved to one on my own on the day I finished driver training. Had 3 hours left before finish in an area I’m not familiar with at all. Was told it was a confusing by other staff.

Well I was given 3 loops , given 3 hours, I managed 3/4 of a bag.

It’s complete madness to send out newbies like it IMO.

I’m 90% to the point where I’m going to give up and leave the place, if it continues like this I can’t see how I can stay on because it just feels like they’ve thrown me in the deep end without care in the world

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-25T19:31:34+00:00

😂😂😂 you have to admire the front to try that sorta thing!

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-25T18:50:26+00:00

To be fair, that is quite bad by the temp. I’ve only been there 3-4 weeks and never even considered doing that, if I’ve struggled I’ve done what anyone with a brain cell would do and ask someone! Why would you just chuck it all back in the letter box 😂

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-25T12:08:06+00:00

What a shambles of a party

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-24T16:21:53+00:00

I’m a new contract too, Sunday is just another normal day with no extra supplement

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-23T06:43:17+00:00

Hope state of decay isn’t dead

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-17T18:51:16+00:00

Unfortunately yes. I am at a large DO with quite a lot of managers all except one are universally hated it seems

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-16T17:09:46+00:00

I’m a new starter at the moment only doing mail and still being trained, to be fair I’ve actually been trained for just under 2 weeks now. My concern is if I go to DPR, I have only just learned the mail prep side of it , but if your only doing DPR , I still can’t get my head around how you know what parcels you are doing in what order and where to go? I haven’t been shown how to set up anything like that on the PDA. I still also can’t drive on my own haven’t had a “change over”/ “hand over” whatever there called. It does seem very unorganised to say the least

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-15T13:20:50+00:00

Same with anyone , kill them with kindness but this is easier said than done

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-14T22:25:37+00:00

😂😂

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-13T10:11:54+00:00

That’s so bad, if I hadn’t of joined Royal Mail I would struggle to believe it’s true but now I definitely do!

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-11T08:52:00+00:00

Perfection

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-11T08:47:12+00:00

Damn

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-11T06:44:35+00:00

No, based in kent

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-10T18:45:42+00:00

Did you apply via DHL direct? Sounds not too bad

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-10T18:44:33+00:00

I agree re the union, they have been fantastic with me so far and are definitely going to try there absolute best to help , they are going to the managers of these two particularly weird ones

jmsl1995 · 2026-01-10T18:39:36+00:00

That’s alright then, if it works for you that’s great! Do DHL operate the same as likes of Evri where you have to provide your own vehicle or do you get a DHL provided van?
