Lapsing back !!

Post by Bendy72 »

Well lapsing has reared its ugly head again at our office !!
Van drivers made to lapse a duty and not able to complete their own or are told to lapse and just leave the packets.
Yorkies of packets wheeled to one side and left , some are dated the 14th , first class recorded and still there !!
DIMs have people lapsing knowing full well that they cut off !!
Its totally mad :crazy:

Now why did I vote yes ?? !! :nana
we love Parcels......
.....love backhealing them !!!

Totally agree. Yesterday i finished my walk with ten mins of normal time left then drove 6 miles to do my lapse of about 20 mins. Returned to the office and booked 30 mins overtime. Simple :Very Happy . However some are still rushing around, using cars , finishing past time and not booking it :crazy: Madness :crazy:
My manager is NOT happy with me booking (i am the only one) but as yet too scared to challange it as they know i will cut off :Very Happy :Very Happy
