Had a visit from some higher-up bods. our massive, four-week-high pile of D2D that was sitting under the frame, suddenly disappeared 🪄 I have absolutely no idea where it went, but what a result! ☕😎 I still can't quite believe our luck.
They need to stop giving an office prior warning of a visit.

In our office the amount of OT being paid out is astronomical, just to clear frames/duties.
People going off long term sick with stress every week.
People coming back to the depot after 7pm a regular occurrence :Very Happy
Door to doors are hidden away as no one has time to actually put them in the frame.
Tracked parcel workload impossible to clear in the time allocated and it hasn't even started to get busy for Christmas yet.
Managers telling us to not bother with the first class mail again and take it for a ride.

We, the postmen/women/workforce all knew that DM26 wouldn't work even before it was employed.
We were right, the powers that be were wrong yet again it seems.

We've been told to resume prepping D2D each morning. As of Week 9 since deployment there has been absolutely no scope for non-drivers to remain indoors on a Saturday.
The machine stops.
