How many days without a delivery? Snow joke

Post by stadt_wien »

At my office we have had 3 days without delivery on Saturday we were told to attempt delivery but if we thought it too dangerous to not risk it the side roads and pavements were pure ice so brought my delivery back as did most others, the pavements are not much better now so what will happen tomorrow? (Monday)
I guess we are better off than some offices our managers have not asked us to bank hours yet. Be glad when spring comes

Banking of hours should not be used for adverse weather !!
The managers should have their hours banked too, if mail failed to get delivered during bad weather.
U.S.O. does recognise extreme weather.......dont give in to these morons.
