So many jumpers on eBay last year. The going rate was around £30.

There are currently 2 available for £60/65.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Last year the guy that takes out a maximum of 10 tracked a day "won" £50 for "100% success" and as you can imagine it's still being griped about to this day from the people who take out 90 odd and won a temu Stanley cup

These are so unfair, either win a mug, umbrella or up to £50 voucher, and there is a good portion of the posties who don't even get pulled out of the draw.. surely there is a way to fairly reward all of us in the office,

At our office the manager decided to award a prize for delivering the most parcels...

The favourite person taken off their duty to only do parcels won it :left: :crazy:

I'm hoping to win a pen or something this year. Last year I was hampered by a manager that was particularly hateful.

In my office last year a bloke was given a stage warning for having time off when his father died suddenly, then was offered a prize for being a good postie the next day, you could'nt make this stuff up, but it's happened"!

Soo. Non drivers/trolley rounds can never win without management intervention as the algorithm/criteria relies on van idling and speeding. Last year in our office Management intervened when this was questioned/ called out. The only trolley round reward was given to the Union Rep. :left: Collusion or not they won chocolates that they shared. :whistle
