ask him if it affects the hours to volume of mail in office

Ask him if his job is so piss easy that he has time to do yours.
Ask your DOM if using a manager on managers wages to do OPG work is a reasonable use of office resources.
Ask him what he plans to do on the dole. :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Ask them not to do it.
Expect them to get really narky.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Plenty of Times we've had PT Posties Refused any OT "Due to Office Budgets"! Then they've come in to find a Manager Prepping their "Deliver Only Duty" Normally making a Really Bad job of it. :no no

Most of them would have been happy to prep it, and get a bit of OT, are you saying that there is a precedent for asking the Managers NOT to do this prep? :hmmmm Don't expect you'd make any friends around the coffee machine if you did! :Very Happy

If they are Prepping then they are not Managing then if they Managed they would not have to prep... A one off then I dont think any one minds really , if its everyday then its poor planning surely ? :hmmmm

You can ... but you'd have to have the whole office backing you up.

I've seen it happen, the staff on IPS, a manager comes up and starts throwing in. Without a word, everybody stops sorting till the manager sheepishly walks off with that 'I was going anyway' air.
Unfortunately, I've also been in the position where a manager starts doing postmans work and nobody does anything. And if one person does say something, he is just ignored.

So enzio, how strong is your office?
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?
