For what I get paid for D2Ds, and taking into account the time they cost me, and factoring in the resistance of management to pay overtime, I'd gladly wave goodbye to delivering them and lose the money.

You get paid more than £10/hr - same as you do for council tax bills, TV license reminders, birthday cards etc etc.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I think it's been pointed out before

a) Not cost effective
b) Too easy for the customer to bin without looking at them

If they removed D2Ds completely and in perpetuity the only way you would lose any money was if you were one of those that lost their jobs because there wasn't enough work to employ the current headcount.

We DON'T get paid separately for delivering D2Ds any-more, so if they did disappear then we would still be paid the Delivery Supplement.

I believe we should only deliver letters if the paper is made from trees that have been blown down or grown old gracefully and died on organic certified soil.
No bleaches should be used in the production of the paper.
Love this post... :Very Happy

I don't work for RM now, after taking IHR after 35 years but I used to like D2D's. With so many lazy people in our office, I used to cover theirs and was doing 5 extra a week. That was before they brought in the single payment for them and used to be a nice earner, have to say. Even had Line managers asking me to do other walks! There is still a colleague of mine there who I know used to dump all his D2D's every week and as far as I know, still does. How he has got away with it all these years is beyond me. :evil/mad

Some are a complete waste of time and just piss you off delivering them. A leaflet offering gardening services to 12 blocks of flats and terraced houses with a stone yard :arrrghhh
