    Thinking of quitting my job as a postal worker once my contract ends. It puts a lot of strain on my body since I have to do a lot since the routes are all long. I’m getting back into fitness, but realised my body is not getting fitter or stronger from my work but only getting more overloaded and more injury prone. I pulled a knee muscle on my free day because of the overload, at least I hope it’s a muscle and not a minor ligament tear which is a possibility as well.

    If only they were still nationalised so profit isn’t put first, and more postal workers would be able to work for less hours but better pay.

      Would there be a way for you to apply for a position in the postmaster general’s office or other office type environment in the postal sphere? Might be a bit easier then finding an entirely new job, and your experience would benefit any application you’d put out.

      Or an office position in a postal organization or corporation if there are no opportunities in the public sector.
