I’m in an MC, there has been agency and OT all along until last week when all were canned due to the “further decline in workload”
(we don’t have the “OT ban” there’s still odd hours to pick up but no full shifts)
Pay day has been a long time coming for monthly paid society, their last payday would have been New Year week,
still not payday until this friday, then the xmas credit card bills will land.
It’s Over till easter.
Your point being?
It’s OVER.
Those who rely on OT need to urgently find a second job or source of income / get down cash convertors etc
May even need to return the SUV back to the dealer’s.
Massive global economic recession coming.
Next thread will be titled “Parcel’s through the floor!!”
Lol calm down with your over eagerness about OPGs living hand to mouth getting absolutely shafted by the economy, have a word with yourself ffs

It’s not just OPG’s it will be society as a whole.
People “had xmas” now it’s over until easter, the money for discretionary spending is just not there.
First thing to cut? “online shopping”
The next “Parcel’s through the roof!!” thread will be late October around halloween.
DPR drivers where I work have been out doing walks delivering some of the letters which have been sat in frames for days, covering duties for people who are off etc. Thats because theres no parcels for them. Up until last week there were more parcels than could possibly be delivered, Tracked 24s failing, even 48s not getting out on time. Stuff which was clearly Christmas gifts getting delivered first week of January because there was so many yorks of stuff waiting to go out. Then suddenly it dried up overnight
Yep today was in complete contrast to the last 10 or so days. Obviously since last Friday people have been getting paid so it’s straight online for whatever they need. Forget all that doom & gloom above about parcels through the floor until October. When online shopping first become a thing it was for luxuries & bespoke items whereas nowadays it is used for every day living items that people can’t be arsed to go to the shops for, can’t get easily in a shop or in some cases can’t manage to carry. Online shopping is here to stay - the genie is out of the bottle & regardless of the comments above it ain’t going away hence why RM are throwing everything at the parcel side of the business. A few lighter days between Christmas & the 1st pay cheque of the year doesn’t mean the online boom is over!!!

I was speaking to a customer earlier this month who was lamenting the death of the high street. This was not a pensioner - he was late 30s I'd guess. He said he hates ordering stuff online (could have fooled me) as he'd prefer to go to a shop to have the item in hand that day* and be able to return it in person if it proves to be ill-suited or ill-fitting, versus the rigmarole of having the item picked up again. Well now the town centre is a ghost town centre. Local businesses have been replaced with an oligarchy of a handful of giant virtual retailers.
