... I know: they don't know when to stop: you get rid of a load, and "lo-and-behold!", there's a load more in your parcel bag at next day's shift!

If you have to carry them all round with you and you only have half the capacity of your postbag you will have to make more trips to drop point!. which costs time and before you know it time is up BUT HOW CAN ONE TELL HOW MENY LIGHTBULBS YOU CAN DELIVER BEFORE ONE GOES OUT AND INFORM THE MANAGER?. :hmmmm

Well, in our office, we take a minimum of one in a bag. They are mailsort, so there is more than a day to deliver them. I personally take as many as I can get in a bag comfortably. I NEVER leave them at the door - the reason for this is two-fold: (1) I have been trained not to do so and (2) A postman once left an expensive book from Amazon on my doorstep, years ago when I was out of town. It rained and the book got damaged. YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE CUSTOMER IS ON HOLIDAY OR NOT. Regarding carrying them around: take what fits in the bag and drop them off either at the nearest Post Office OR put 48-72 hours (72 hours for weekends) on them and pop them in a bag box (making sure you tell the driver for that walk that there are packets in the bag box that need collecting).

At our delivery office, we had a flexibility meeting about two weeks ago now; the Delivery Office Manager (A.K.A. "The Big Cheese") gave the presentation: we were told that we had the option of taking days of in lieu, if we went over into overtime. Coolio!

I belive if you do accept the time as 'banked hours' then your playing straight into there hands they should be made to honour the agreement and give you your hours back that same week. When they then find the system unworkable they might just back away from this stupid situation

Well, axeman, they made it plain that these were just ideas and that nothing was set in concrete: the whole air of the meeting was one of fairness; it was very obvious to everyone there that there was no notion of trickery or anything untoward. People from the team gave their comments and they were duly noted.

Fasting has begun - summer time is DONE!!!

Post by majeed »

First letter 10:20; last letter 14:20. Fasting started today and it showed in my missorts while on the walk: most were forward missorts or relatively minor backwards missorts. Summer time savings is over, so I can book the extra half an hour as overtime.
