Will your office clear by christmas?

Post by k979aaa »

Our's is very doubtful at the moment it is highly likely we will not get all the packets/parcels done as management insist all mail is cleared to the detriment of said packet/parcels from what I can gather they are banking on a light Monday.! How can this farce proceed for one can only do so much why no extra staff their is less staff in our place than last year this firm is a joke.!

Loads of parcels left over today, some drivers in tomorrow but it's doubtful they'll make much of a dent. Monday's shaping up to be a clusterf*ck even though they've got us in early.

It was clear when i left.
According to the drivers the MC guys were playing football because they had nothing to do,local outhouse was shut down at 9am Friday 21st but...we've all been here before and i did notice that everything that went through our IPS this morning was 1st Class so....and before you ask we've been park&loop for over 2 years.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

No chance of clearing , packet deliveries out tomorrow but most people turning down the O/T. Monday looks very heavy already with what was left this morning and no one prepared to stop out Christmas eve.

9 specials and umpteen recorded today. Dumped a load of Caravan Club mags on us as well. Still loads of packets to shift but they have removed additional hire van off us, so we cant use on Monday, so how they expect us to clear f.ck only knows. Worse Saturday ever taking into a/c the bl.dy awful weather.

So it's just not me then I commend you for your honesty we all have done our best upmost but royal mail have not put the resources that befits a firm who claim 40% of their revenue come's from the very packet's we are told to cull.! And this is our future of said business a failing if any I saw one the problem is top down leadership for cost-cutting not innovation and solutions.! I can only assume Moya Greene is more interested in share options than the service as it was or the business it now is.!
