Can I prevent employer communicating with me at home.

Maybe they'd stop if you resigned, since this work thing clearly causes too much pain and suffering.

Sorry to say this but I wish I had an employer to send me stuff.

Surreysaver - have you tried counting your blessings?

I think most people would like to be 'kept in the loop' with their employer, as to events, news, details etc. Even if they don't fully like where they work.

I'd much rather have loads of stuff sent home, than not to find out things at all.

If your workplace is such a burden on you, then perhaps you are better off looking for another job?

I quite often read the company magazine at home, I don't make a point of adding it to my timesheet; that's just plain asking for trouble.

If you continue on your course of self destruction, then your employer will soon be looking at ways to give you a long walk down unemployement avenue.

Just accept the literature with good grace, and file it in the floor lever circular filing cabinet.

Apologies for mixing you up with another poster
However you do sound like you are unhappy in your job -if little things are bugging you as much as this it may be time to be actively looking for something else -are you actively looking ?

Once when I was working in a call centre I accidentally gave out my home fax number instead of the office one - I got home to an overflowing fax which had used up all my paper and ink.

At least you're not paying anything to receive things you don't want!

Why not just put your recycling box under your letterbox and filter it out before you go to work? I did that in my porch, it worked wonders for not getting junk mail

Even sending stuff back, return to sender doesn't work. I send A4 stuff back with no stamp so they have to pay postage and a fine, but that doesn't work. Surely, if any other company you deal with you can tick a box not to receive anything, an employer should be the same? I even claim overtime for opening the stuff and walking to the postbox to send it back!

What do others think/suggest?

Well let's hope that no one from your employment reads these threads, or recognises your posts, because surely the quickest route to ending the "harrassment by unsolicited propaganda" from your job is to get fired.

Admitting to trying to get your company fined for insufficient postage and falsely claiming overtime might just be the way to go. :rolleyes:

I get what I would consider to be junk mail (and unsolicited at that) from banks, local MPs, the local Costcutter, churches, the council etc and I do what pretty much every other poster has suggested – chuck it in the recycling bin. You have one life – why spend it getting wound up over something as pointless as the staff magazine?!

It doesn't have to be abusive or threatening to be harassment.

maybe not legally but come on, omplaining about a few letters is silly. just bin them if you dont want them.

Suggest they go green, as in my earlier post.

Then you may find they have more respect for you than they would if you continue to call standard mailouts "propoganda".

Green is the new black, dontcha know.....it may even earn you a bonus that you can send to Martin for the charity, seeing as it was this site that gave you the idea.....HINT, HINT

I think you shouldn't bother opening them and if that is the most distressing thing you have to worry about in life-you are blessed !

EDIT Ohhhhhh just realised you're the same poster upset because you were given provisional dates for a training course and didn't want to leave your 14 year old to do a one day local course.
Ignore the above advice-you're just looking for reasons to fall out with your employer. You're a poor role model both to other single parents and to your son with this silliness............or you're a troll

pmsl er no thats me, well technicaly not me, because the reason I dont want to do the course is because ITS OUT SIDE OF MY CONTRACTED HOURS, nothing to do with childcare........

anyway... OP my employer phones me at home while im off sick on my works mobile asking me work related questions / advice......
I dont think Id have a problem with them sending me junk mail, sorry I dont have any advice on your OP

You can solve the calls on the mobile dead easy.
