The Busiest Day
Certainly today had to be the busiest day of the year in my office.Never ever seen so many people leave the office light and so many packets.Today we each had 4 packet bags,
last Xmas only 2.Locker is running out of room for 739 packets.
Must be a record year for Packets, now could not say who is winning Amazon or Play it . com.Certainly in our office wich is a large office,never ever seen this volume of packets
What about you/

Certainly the busiest I've seen it on packet. Had 3 bags all week and today 4. All the other years even at its peak there was only a maximum of 2 bags. Good job RM were prepared for it.

Re: The Busiest Day
Underpaid, you must be having a laugh...so busy in our DO that guys are asked to work nights on day's off to sort packets that have been left from day before, is that what is happening in any other DO's, we stop sorting by a certain time cos Dim knows we will cut off as no-one likes him
Anyway be prepared for more of the same after Xmas cos when van sharing comes in the packet duties(in our DO anyway) could disappear overnight cos we will all be carrying them with us, now wether that will be a better service what with 3 dely's into 2 and the increase in packets that RM can see coming hence the rush to VShare I see more cut off's in a lot of places
So make the most off it underpaid next Xmas will be a nightmare....that's if you still have a job with RM by then

We were told that Monday (14th) should be the peak day - don't know if that is just our MC though.

Re: The Busiest Day
Bearing in mind the amount of those shitting lightbulbs we had today (and I got off lightly compared to some who had literally dozens!) I'd say today edged it in terms of sheer volume. Who the hell negotiated the contract for those things AT THIS TIME OF YEAR ffs!!!
