Unless you've ever worked in delivery, you will genuinely never understand how bad it's been for the last few years. The job has been utterly destroyed for delivery OPG's.

Who's delivering 150-200+ packets a day, along with mail in the space of 4/5/6 hours?

Some might say it's still fine, those folk in the smaller D.Os or new starts trying to make up their hours.

Don't forget to try all the neighbours

I can see how much bigger walks have gotten from the batches we run through the CSS. For one DO the number of walks for it n my machine dropped by nearly half with no sign of them being added to batches for the other CSS machines.

Some of the problems in DOs will have been down to the "runners" and those coming in before their official start time working for free

100% true that, it's a fact in my office the two top 10 senior guys who had the easiest walks in the office came in a good 1 to 2 hrs before their time and guess what, revision happened and 2 hrs added to those deliverys :roll:

Oh, forget to mention, them two guys then took VR before the revision kicked in cnuts :evil/mad

OPGs are as much to blame as management for how bad the job is on delivery now. Working for free and running round was always going to bite us in the backside eventually and we can’t say we weren’t warned.

We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. We will regularly update customers on the offices most impacted here:

6


1.) Clevedon DO (BS21)
2.) Oxford East DO (OX3, OX4, OX33, OX44 and OX49)
3.) Swaffham DO (PE32, PE33 and PE37)
4.) West Byfleet DO (KT14)
5.) Wrington SPDO (BS40)
6.) Yatton SUDO (BS49)

Units that report three consecutive days of 30% of DPs failing USO gets you on the list and public RM service disruption website. Then you need three consecutive days below 30% to get off the list (well below and back to stable USO)

The six exponentials theorem guarantees (given the right conditions on the exponents) the transcendence of at least one of a set of exponentials.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

No it won't because that is not how duties are planned.
One thing that will certainly make duties bigger is measuring from the kerb rather than the middle of the road.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Five is conjectured to be the only odd untouchable number, and if this is the case then five will be the only odd prime number that is not the base of an aliquot tree.
