Not having a day off cover, and after day of no one even throws the mail in, so I have 2 days of mail to sort, and a million other things, this job is so much easier if you could work on your own.

Came in after long weekend to find I'd been dumped on a walk where the duty holder brought back half the duty Friday as he was unwell, still bundled. No-one covered it or prepped it Saturday or Monday, IPS and buddy trays piled around the frame but someone had squeezed past to get the D2Ds in

And you can still finish on your finish time. If you have to stand there all day prepping, that’s not your problem.

They wouldn't let you prep all that mail at mine, you would just be sent out to do tracked, specials , customer collects ect, as the mail pilled up, it's running on fumes.
