A dispatch from the world of #work.
Talking to our new postie it turns out he was a building/fitter (self-employed) for 17 years before lockdown sunk his business.
Then he went to work in an office job for another firm in the same (broad) sector but after 18 months of rubbish #management causing stress & annoyance, he's taken a 50%+ wage cut to become a (country) postman, because of the lifestyle.
(and this, I assume despite the managerial issues at the PO).
Its a quality of life issue!
