Most frames, that have been going out, have about a 30% call rate. The posties are all laughing about it.
A lot of tracked packets, but these are all fobbed off to the DPR drivers in the afternoon.
Can’t see how we will ever make the profits that the new owner is expecting.

Well you might be, but how does “child - bearing” raise your status?Smoothbackground wrote: ↑20 Sep 2025, 17:09I am a woman — and a child-bearing one at that (unlike you, who may have traits of “old woman” but are not a real one!).

It doesn’t raise my status. But it is disrespectful to be deliberately referred to as “him”, especially when it happens more than once, and especially when my profile states my gender.
Your language is vulgar and offensive. I have reported your post for calling me a “dickhead”.
Men who use that term nearly always suffer themselves from very extreme cases of “tiny willy syndrome”. You will henceforth be known as Maggot to me

I just realised you have specified female on here lol. What difference does it make unless you come from some shitehole country that hates women or are a victim of domestic violence?

Re: USO update - (Not as big as we were promised)
Apart from the start of the week, when we're usually catching up from Saturday anyway, mail seems as high as ever in our DO, there's no way we could do double mail on Weds, Thur's or Friday's, on most of the duties in our DO, you also sense customers have realised there's now more chance of 1c being delivered promptly and virtually every packet is now sent Tracked apart from the odd small and packet a couple of RD items each day.Patmanposts wrote: ↑20 Sep 2025, 12:15My impression / guestimate from reading all available Postie forums over the last 15 months (apart from face book), is that the amount of DO that are managing mail (low volumes) appears to be the minority.jagger wrote: ↑19 Sep 2025, 21:36Do I work in the only office where the mail is ridiculously low?

I am surprised you even have DPR! what a dream.
If i had been working in your DO i would still be working for the company and be happy as well.
My DO…. Mail call rate averaged 70%, double-treble mail every day for us new starts. No DPR and vans that you are lucky if they start in the mornings.
Huge comparison.
I genuinely hope it lasts for you.
Just as well Labour have wrecked the economy or we'd be really struggling if the UK was now booming!!

You'll probably be accused of being one of my apparent 6 or 7 previously banned posters on here now, because you had the "absolute disrespect" to even post something that disagrees with their outrageous ego.

Really members.
Shitehole country, dickhead, woke and using misogynistic language, I thought better of you lot. Everyone who used the above terms in this thread is now on a public warning.
How many times do we have to say it—if someone posts an offensive comment, report it, ignore it, and move on. Anyone who responds to an offensive post that takes the thread off topic is just as likely to be punished as the original perpetrator. This can range from a general public warning, such as this post, to an individual warning, restricted posting (that needs pre-approval), and all the way up to banning.
You have ALL been warned, no matter how long you have been on the site.
If you can't act like adults, then we will treat you like children. If you don't like these rules then by all means set up your own site, and you can decide what is acceptable.
