Friday 2nd Septembers workload

[FirstPost]

Two rammed full boxes of sequence, second boxes 75% full, loads of magazines (all this for 1 duty) Worse than a heavy Wednesday. There was definitely two days mail volume. Out at 10.50. 14 specials. Take out 12 loops brought 10 back

Did you inform your line manager before you went out on delivery that you’d be cutting off?

Yes always

Don't be silly .
Mr Thompson and his team of managers cleared everything the other day.
I know because he said so. Don't think he did door to door thou.

5 per stops full for each of our walks.local MP decided to write to everyone and bombed by subway leaflet.
Worked to time full walk and a quarter back. No issues as long as tracked done

[sindba]

Half and shelf brought back, and 45 minutes O/T booked

Get ready, tomorrow is apparently even worse.

Why are u taking it out if your not going to deliver it, just leave it in the frame. Was a leisurely day today, sorting till late, prepping till late, deliver afew tracked and specials then back on my sofa for 2pm.

You took back 10 loops? Fair play. Had one bag just specials, double mail and some customer collections on top. Been on late starts over the summer as I'm part time still but everyone is being called in early tomorrow. Hopefully some hand backs and an unmanageable workload for a Saturday.

A ridiculous work load for us. Brought back tonnes. Too much prep work which meant the amount of delivery time was reduced significantly. Lots of timed specials and when it's this busy you have to drive off and do them otherwise you'll never get there in time - reducing the amount of delivery you can do.

A complete mess.

The plan is keep the letters in the frame and just deliver the Tracked items. Some of those letters include: Bank statements, credit cards, letters from the NHS.

All the usual unimportant stuff

Weirdly enough we have agency staff and hire vans. Both not utilise today. Got to keep costs down

Isn't the frame going to burst with too much post soon?

[drfeelgood]

It doesnt matter how much mail etc we get, its very simple this.

We all have a start and finish time (allowing for pouching off, of course), and any overtime done is an own goal, as why bother striking, then deliver the cr*p on overtime in the following days

If you are going to go over, let your manager know that you might be cutting off before you leave the office, then let him/her know about an hour before you intend to cut off, then finish at your finish time, no stress!
