I was a postie for 28 years,took vr in March,am so glad to be out of it! Used to love the job but unfortunately it has been ruined by people who think they know what they are doing!! If posties were left alone to get on with their jobs,it would still be ok,good luck buddy
I love my postmen and appreciate the job they do. I have water for him - or whoever is covering - every day. And there’s a toilet in my shed they’re welcome to use. When you think about it, where would we all be without the post?
Hi are you allowed any kinds of footwear? Trainers etc also are you allowed to wear caps or beanies on your shifts or is the uniform policy very strict?
you can wear any footwear that is comfy for you ... but if you have an accident on duty and you are not wearing "royal mail footwear" they will pull you for it with the usual red tape nonsense ....you can wear your own hats or the ones royal mail provide ... i prefer my own as they fit better
Good job. I applied for a postman after be working in a Morrisons warehouse for 4 years. I want to ask you how the job is? I just read lost of bad reviews
Honestly whats is it like being a postie ? Like the shifts and general life to days off and how stressful is it? And what would you say? I live in devon so it may be different to this slightly but im tempted to do it? And like how much do you need to do deliveries?
well i have been a postie for 30 years and it was much better when i first started .... they have made a lot of changes since then,and not for the better ... but im sure there are worse jobs out there ... give it a try ... the best part of the job is being outdoors .... apart from when it rains all day long and you get soaked : )
Can you decide if you want to use the trolley & walk along the street or if you you’d rather use a van to do your drop? Do you have a choice or does it depend solely on the route you’re on.
Nope, you do what they tell you. As a new starter you won't have your own round, you'll likely be working all around your area, sometimes sent to other parts of the city. Even known people to get sent to another town. You have a workload thats usually impossible to complete by design. You'll be pressured to stay out as long as it takes to finish it, even when dark - which is not fun. Vans are usually shared, so 2 of you work together- again not always fun. The odd round is easy but most are brutally hard. Most people in my office don't get breaks, urinate in bottles, don't get time to eat or drink. It's an awful job these days in most places. Bullying and harassment is fairly rife where I've worked but never had much issue with it myself.

How would you say you feel about your job for real? Do you like what you do or wish you were elsewhere? I've worked in customer service/office admin jobs for years now and I'm tired of it, often look at my postie's and wonder what the job's like.

yes it does make sense,being outdoors is the best part of the job ... ive been there 30 years and it was very good to start with ... but a lot have things have changed of the last few years ... and not for the better.

And judo, then instructor with young guy who fought for england,, in his own style called east coast close combat under . , ju jitsu. umbrella, plus i had other little experience too of other styles like isshinryu , so i had different backgrounds of fighting so was assistant instructor, and my son was assistant instructor too because he had my training plus wing chun plus boxing which ihe is light.

I will not harm you.. , anyway he came at me,, i did what i said, diverted his strikes and touched him in one spot. Stopping him,, two weeks later he came up to me and said whatever you did i can still feel it, like your finger is still there,,, what did you do. I told him its not taught in clubs, far too dangerous, i do not know of any dojo that teaches it, , but teachers, sensei can show different students, if they consider them responsible enough, because otherwise he would have been gone out on floor., no more,,, , , he loved it., but i said its only because he is high enough grade, but only to be used in dire circumstances,, not in clubs dojos etc,, it requires knowing about energies, , too, i could tell you many true stories,,, , about that, as well energies,, take care my fellow martial artist,, this is what i believe happened to bruce lee, its very real, dim mak , ,,,,,,,,,, and i have met many chinese , martial artists, and i have seen met shoalin monks, too my instructor in east coast close combat, was taught by one extraordinary, , he used to call out 30 men from pub, and only walk back in himself,, lol.. Oh many true very true stories to tell,, one of best is, kung fu man came to karate tournament, , , went in arena, stood there, just kiaed, that's all, walked up to his opponent, lightly roundhouse kicked him in head,, the man could not move, of course he lost,,, kung fu guy smiled walked out,, yet he won fight ippon , with that kick,, so funny, yes its true. I was there, and i felt the force of his kai,, i was in. Direct line on table,, made me wobble from about 50 ft away,,, at least, never forgot it, then i learnt more about energies,, the healing and destruction which can be done,, , when i used to block in basic kumite i used to break blood vessels in feet in legs, or not touch , just pull short of striking, but opponents used to show me their bodies , i was leaving them literally black and blue without touching them so I stopped for about 3 years, did not want to hurt others at all.. Many many true, stories my friend, .

I don’t know exactly what office these guys work out of but the this is surely a joke. The van looked half empty and the pouches hardly had anything in them!

New postie here - I start in just over a week. The tour around the sorting office and explanation of walks etc sounded like complete gobbledegook to me. I’m told it’s hard work (which I have no problem with) but is it easy to get your head around? I’ve not had a job for a long time and I’m anxious about learning how things are done. Great video 👍
Hi Thanks! i have been a postie for 30 years and a lot has changed since i first started,it's easy enough to get your head around,once you get to know the walk it's easy going ... i know what you mean about the gobbledegook ... it was the same for me : )

New postie here - I start in just over a week. The tour around the sorting office and explanation of walks etc sounded like complete gobbledegook to me. I’m told it’s hard work (which I have no problem with) but is it easy to get your head around? I’ve not had a job for a long time and I’m anxious about learning how things are done. Great video 👍
Hi Thanks! i have been a postie for 30 years and a lot has changed since i first started,it's easy enough to get your head around,once you get to know the walk it's easy going ... i know what you mean about the gobbledegook ... it was the same for me : )
@@snakeblanketillusion3539Hey thanks for the prompt reply mate! It’s made me feel a lot better! 👍
@@DiRtYLaWs2007how’s it going?
I want 2 get on my walk .No time 4 stopping 4 food or feeding horses
lol
Cowboys 🤠 🤠. Must get overtime everyday doing the job like that .
I did the job for just over five months the manager was evil and the trading wasn't up to standard I was just put on walks which I had not been trained on
that sounds about right...
If it hadn't been for those two issues it would have been a good job
Don't know where they get the time
Once again ... were Professionals
