Delivery office differences

Post by postiewhite »

My question is what time do you normally get out on a week day morning and what time do you normally finish? We never get out on a week day earlier than 9.15,sometimes upto 10am because usually the packets arnt sorted til breaktime 8.30. My friend works in a nearby office,similar size and they have to be back for 1.30pm,most are back for 1pm and on saturdays they are done for 11.30. Their duties are of similar size but their packets are all sorted by 8 at the very latest. Ive never once had a day like that.
What is this down to? More efficiently run office? I actually went to another office a while back and everyone was tied up for 8.30.This is a whole hour earlier than us.

Umm you've asked this question twice - and both times in "Blue Shirts" are you expecting different responses in each thread, if so it could get confusing. :Very Happy :Very Happy
