It doesn’t take much of an effort for a manager to print out this information and post it near the signing on sheets or wherever though. Ideally the week before at latest.

Is it the same for all DOs? If it is then RM could have had a message pop up on screen on all delivery PDAs

if times have changed again in every office then I definitely did not start at the right time this morning.

Surely the days have got shorter - right? so I probably did free work this morning.... no wonder managers haven't told us.

Yes you should have returned to your original start time today

No word of it mentioned by management on Saturday so those of us better informed turned up at the correct Mid Seasons time, others obliviously turned up early at the High Season time, and yet others were misinformed and turned up late at the Low Seasons time. Such a smooth operation.
The machine stops.

They spent plenty of time informing us when we had to start early, but not when it changes back 🤔
