Re: Network Changes - Later Start and Finish Times in Delivery Offices
In the past fortnight we have found at least 5 (that I saw, and I work in one section out of 6) "special 9am" packets just mixed in with the sleeves of small tracked, so I don't think anyone cares!SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 13:289am SDs are very rare anyway.

Re: Network Changes - Later Start and Finish Times in Delivery Offices
Did you used to work in the locker at a DO? Because we used to have about half a dozen a day at my DO alone. Never mind the other 40 odd DO's that the local MC dispatched to.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 13:289am SDs are very rare anyway.

Apparently having your meal relief while there's dead time between waves 1 and 2 means you can finish earlierhans solo wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 18:45Is it even legalclaretandblue wrote: ↑17 Feb 2024, 12:32How does moving your meal relief mean you can finish earlier?

Re: Network Changes - Later Start and Finish Times in Delivery Offices
Every night we find SDs mixed in with the normal packets. We even find the odd one in the mech as well. Tracked and normal packets tend to arrive at the MC mixed together, probably by MCs that have got packet sorting machines.Kenfandango wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 13:58In the past fortnight we have found at least 5 (that I saw, and I work in one section out of 6) "special 9am" packets just mixed in with the sleeves of small tracked, so I don't think anyone cares!SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 13:289am SDs are very rare anyway.

In the MC. It was very rare for most of the DOs to get one. You'd get a few nights where there weren't any 9am's at allCarryingMGMT wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 14:48Did you used to work in the locker at a DO?

Re: Network Changes - Later Start and Finish Times in Delivery Offices
That's strange. Like I said in my old DO we used to get 20/30 a week minimum. And that's just a single DO of many within the local MCs area.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 20:54

Mostly letters to banks etc, but a fair few parcels/letters for private addresses also.
Is your MC not located in a city or something?

Re: Network Changes - Later Start and Finish Times in Delivery Offices
The MC is located in a large town. The banks never used to get much, think most of their mail probably gets sent to their big offices in London. If the foreign specials ever were to go back to going through as Tracked, it would probably at least halve the volume of work in the locker.CarryingMGMT wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 22:04That's strange.

The members are the union - so what you are saying is the members sold themselves out.Valentina@1 wrote: ↑19 Feb 2024, 14:19

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Indeed. I voted NO and I'm still bitter and angry about it! Lol
The deed is done however and now we face the consequences.
