Cars on delivery

[SpacePhoenix]

DM26 has just started and bosses are saying we can take our cars out on delivery to finish early so i can follow my partner out in my car then other guy drives back while i can go home,just checking whether this is ok or do i need insurance or should i be wary of bosses ,is this allowed under royal mail procedure.

you happy enough for the other person having to drive back to office, park van, empty van, deal with 739 items, have the manager ask them to do more work even if they only have minutes left, etc etc?

It was a satirical comment i'd be the one taking it all back,i was getting at why should i be punished because i dont have kids,this bowing down to parents gets on my nerves,fine if they want preferential treatment but why should i have to work harder ,they chose to have kids now look after them yourselves dont expect the rest of us too,this is the problem with a selfish society these days too many entitled people.

The whole point about family friendly/kids from school arrangements is that they are only supposed to be temporary until you sort something else out, otherwise it is unfair on the rest of the staff.
We have plenty staff who don’t come back for made up reasons and I imagine they are SISO either at home or on the street and giving PDA back to the driver who takes it all back. It’s a very, very shortsighted ‘benefit’ as between that and them also not wanting to stay in on a Saturday and sort D2D items they are making part of their job redundant. They are also usually the first staff to complain about others not doing the job properly, sneering at those who do overtime and have a meltdown if someone else starts 2 minutes before their allotted time.

If too many people around the country abuse that, RM might then make everyone SISO back at the DO.

What’s the magic number that makes it too many?

All it takes is for a bean counter to decide to act on it and its curtains unless you are on a deep rural etc.
They did the same things for years before with people not scanning post boxes and using a copy of the barcode. Each to their own but I don’t think it’s worth the risk unless you have childcare arrangements etc.
