Re: unlimited D2D
Double check the labels,I very much doubt you have 'officially' got 7 for this week.
Have any crossed over from last week,some possibly been put out early and are next weeks?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Its an LTB from Jan 2011 - about 6 being the maximum at that time, but the Union addressing issues being raised because of carry overs. Basically they condoned 7 and even 8 D2Ds and suggested support for growth ambitions in D2Ds.
Therefor no cap any longer, but the DOM must show demonstrable solutions to weight problems, and more time must be given to prepping them.

Don't know bout other offices but if the 30% of idiots who throw them all in before their starting time on a Monday at our place did them properly we might have a chance of getting extra prep time for them.Indy wrote:Every time I come to this site these days there's another depressing bit of news!TrueBlueTerrier wrote:Therefore no cap any longer, but the DOM must show demonstrable solutions to weight problems, and more time must be given to prepping them.![]()

Re: unlimited D2D
It does seem difficult for people to get this into their heads, we only have a set number of hours and if we can't get the work done in that time then it's up to the DOM to sort it out.TeeferTiger wrote:Live mail, prep 'em as they told you to originally, cut off delivery... SimplesRM won't learn though
Each D2D I do is 130 per day so if I have 6 then that's an extra 780 pieces of mail for just one day and all the extra time I need to cover those extra

Re: unlimited D2D
What pisses me off is when the DOM decides hes trying to be clever and gets someone on light duties to throw households into my frame ready for the next morning.
When you have doubles on your frame rather than it being a help its more of a hinderance

Re: unlimited D2D
If I was a) still a postie and b) getting paid £30k then I'd worry about where I was going to find the extra time to get that mail delivered. However, even when "a)" applied, "b)" didn't so "c) not for me to sort out" came into effect lolDGP1 wrote:It does seem difficult for people to get this into their heads, we only have a set number of hours and if we can't get the work done in that time then it's up to the DOM to sort it out.TeeferTiger wrote:Live mail, prep 'em as they told you to originally, cut off delivery...
