If you have enough time to prep and deliver households during the Christmas rush then your duty is just not long enough :shhhhh anyway, because I'm a reserve so I very rarely get any household money.

i agree you lose all the money you make on any overtime you do .no extra prep time needed as you are delivering most points anyrate.just take one a day and fill the odd slots you miss.

Just enjoy the break without them. You'll have another 49 weeks of delivering shite from sky, pizza companies and every insurance company in England during the wind, rain, and snow of 2009. Im sure a little bit of overtime over the christmas period covered the money lost during no door to doors. They are the last thing we need during the busiest weeks of the year and that includes next week as speaking from experience it will be very heavy next week as well.

Yep experience of the last 5 years has taught me that the next 3 months are the worst part of the year and it started today. Loads of catalogues and holiday brochures from now till Easter.

I'm not the travelling reserve on a set number of duties, I'm a general dogsbody who has to cover whatever duty the DOM has messed up and not got cover for, so I don't do D2D's (most of the time anyway :Very Happy ).

The DOM is a complete muppet, he's been told to stop doing what he's doing but he continues because he can't organise the office (if it's left up to the assistant managers then it doesn't happen but the DOM tries to make it happen anyway).
TBH I really hate doing them and if someone else does them, they can have all the payment.

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.
