Missorts

Post by slave »

What is the situation with a missort on your delivery..

Got told by DOM that if we have prepped our own walk and sorted a letter to the wrong place, subsequently find it on delivery, we have to walk all the way back to deliver it because "it's your mistake and you should rectify it". If someone else prepped the walk then you don't have to. Anyone else been fed this kind of garbage?

The last PTer who complained about a couple of missorts after I boxed him in got told to come in early for free and do it himself if he's that bothered, by me.

Hardly ever have time to go back so looks like I'll stick to what I've always done (m/s and in box!)

Why the hell should he, you got PAID to throw in the walk. :no no

A couple (2) missorts would not provoke that response
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

He he, you obviously dont know the little sod.

Anyway he's on a high end PT contract, 6 hours a day, he's got plenty time to throw it in himself, well he would if he didnt drag his feet anyway.

Oh and whos to say it was me anyway?? It might have been him. If I only throw in 30% max, he has put the other 70% in, therefore the odds are he done it. Ive been doing my duty for 8 years and even I, somehow, throw in the odd booby.

you should go back and delivery any missorts providing you have time, if you dont have time you take them back to the office and inform your line manager you have a couple of missorts which you couldnt go back and deliver because you ran out of time.

I did that and got rewarded by allegations of wilful delay. I was two hours over my time and I returned to the DO with them that day.

No freakin way hosay. Thats just askin for bother. Put them in your inside pocket until the following day if you have to but dont return to the office and tell the manager, you might as well just ask for yer P45.

For any new starters browsing this thread,do not put any mail in your pocket!!
Officially,if you have time,you are expected to go back and deliver them,and they are mis-preps,not missorts.
Nobody can be 100% accurate ,so a mistake is easily explained,having mail on your pesron is not! :no no
