The only thing I f***ing hate about it is having to slot it all back in the next day, you dont have time when its busy!

at the minute in our office you can just take what you want and do as you please it's crazy, all the 50/50 just drag it out till 3.20 so in my pod I can just take exactly what I want out and go as slow as I like, management don't seem to care what speed you move outside.

Taking mail back is a daily occurrence on most duties in our office. QoS being completely ignored. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a fair and manageable workload for a fair days pay. 🤷‍♂️

Haven't started yet. Don't see me taking anything back apart from parcels/first class when it starts.
