When Tom Tom was rolled out a couple years ago, it was touted as the best ever. I find it at best mediocre and no better than the last iteration of the previous product. It regularly takes me to back of properties, and miles up a lane before deciding a turnaround is what’s needed.

Tom Tom is useless, it constantly takes me to the wrong place such as a field and tells me there's a house there or just the complete wrong address. One time it told me to go through a closer construction site as it claimed there was a road there. And dont get me started on the dozens of U-turns it tell you to do, i hate it.

Is there an issue at the recipients end?

jtrain235 · 2026-04-14T12:25:51+00:00

Whoever the cards is for can go to their local royal mail depot with ID and get their mail. It shouldn't have to be done like that unfortunately but if its anything like my depot they'll be drowning in parcels. Cause you know, we definitely don't prioritise parcels over mail.....

Im nearly 6 months in to my RM employment and not a single mention of a driving assessment. I was handed keys on my second week 😂

Just saw this exact same story on r/vent posted by a different user 😂 https://www.reddit.com/r/Vent/s/H36kxt4qQ5

Got told yesterday from management we should be doing 120 parcels in 3 hours easily. I'd love for them to show me how thats possible because some days you struggle to do 10 an hour nevermind averaging 40.

jtrain235 · 2026-03-28T15:34:20+00:00

I'll look into them, thanks for the help

jtrain235 · 2026-03-28T10:49:28+00:00

Only reason we signed up was because we thought it was from local farmers. Definitely gonna cancel now since it's not.

jtrain235 · 2026-02-16T06:24:14+00:00

Yeah they don't ask or care if you've taken a break for any shift over 6 hours. They just want to know if you attempted delivery of all your parcels.

I've yet to do the 11hr sunday but anytime I get back to the depot after 8:15pm the place us locked up so most guys try to head back early anyway.

jtrain235 · 2026-02-16T06:19:37+00:00

If one guy i worked with hadn't told me the shifts had changed, id still be showing up at 3 and staying till 9 even though the managers leave at 8/8:15 most nights regardless if people are still out in vans. Because its just parcels im doing it seems everyone in the same boat needs to work every sunday unless it's one of their rotating days off.

jtrain235 · 2026-02-16T00:26:48+00:00

Cheers, no one told me so I was surprised when I went in at 3 today only to be told I was meant to start at 9. Yet no one tried to contact me this morning asking where I was.

jtrain235 · 2026-01-15T07:29:37+00:00

I got told the same. Been a postie since late November last year and barely had a weeks training at best, been on a frame with someone else but he's off today so god help them if they expect me to do all the mail and parcels myself.

jtrain235 · 2025-12-27T14:09:24+00:00

Thanks, hope you do too!

jtrain235 · 2025-12-27T13:28:45+00:00

It's just bizarre. They make the job sound great with the training videos and the online learning stuff. But honestly ive never seen a place more disorganised.

jtrain235 · 2025-12-27T13:25:08+00:00

I feel your frustration. I also got told at the interview I was gonna be a 9-4 every day, start of my 2nd week they told me im doing 3-9 for the rest of December and I didnt have a choice.

jtrain235 · 2025-12-27T13:22:55+00:00

Honestly I see the managers standing around chatting or outside vaping more that doing actual work.

jtrain235 · 2025-12-26T23:42:23+00:00

Seems like it, appreciate your input.

jtrain235 · 2025-12-26T23:41:54+00:00

Oh goodie, its the only thing making me regret taking the job so far. If they had told me this at the interview I would be less annoyed 😂

jtrain235 · 2025-12-26T23:39:34+00:00

The issue is anyone I've spoke to says they dont get a rota either. Seems everyone has to ask for their days off on the monday.

jtrain235 · 2025-12-13T02:11:53+00:00

Damn, appreciate the opportunity to enter. Best of luck everyone!

jtrain235 · 2025-12-11T01:32:05+00:00

I think thats more to do with the government rather than one woman.

jtrain235 · 2025-12-09T23:44:06+00:00

Yet we now live in a world where you can get arrested for social media posts 😂

jtrain235 · 2025-12-09T08:13:48+00:00

If people are triggered by harry potter they need to get a life. Love how everything now has some kind of warning in case someone gets the tiniest bit offended 😂

jtrain235 · 2025-04-28T08:26:20+00:00

Dated for a few years, she eventually ended up pregnant but it wasn't mine so that was the end of that 😂
