Says who?
The SOP for D2D prep
You got a copy of the SOP?
I remember all-in-on-Monday being promulgated in 2020 during the first lockdown, though I can't find an actual document because all the search terms are too common.
The machine stops.

They do.

You only have your own office as a reference.
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

It's the weekly delivery supplement we don't get paid, which came about after the D2D payments stopped I think, which is prob why many still see it as D2D payments
No it's not. :roll:

Go home :wave - got nothing better to do? :cuppa
Some of us aren’t job and finish any more.
Must have a little duty if you've got time to prep D2Ds on a Saturday :cuppa
It depends on your definition of little. It is quiet in terms of letters, heavy on parcels but I still end up walking ~15 miles a day. It’s about 750 calls but it is a mixture of terraced and big houses with long drives so a nice blend.

They seem to be optional at our place. New starters never touch them.
New starters, we've not had any new starters for a couple of years, any new starters go straight on afternoon DPR & that seems to be phasing out :wave

It’s amazing how offices vary. We seem to have new faces every week. Some are agency staff but others are contracted by RM. We do seem to be losing a lot of staff at the minute too though so that might be why.
