nothing apart from 500 hours being cut and full timers not replaced.
and about 400% more mail to prep on a sat.
and you pay £150 per year.

Absolutely sod all change in our office. D2D not mentioned till friday and very briefly. We are going to get stitched up big time with this. Try saying you need more time to prep and you'll be threatened with either being taken off your duty or the conduct code. Said all along this is being rushed in too quickly, needed it to start after a full office revision when they can be included in your workload.

My dom said nothing has changed but he couldn't clarify who preps in the d2d for monday.

I think the lower contracts below 25hrs are going to be hit hardest when they come in on monday and realise that the d2d has not been sorted for them.

There is only one solution to solve this problem, do your fair share of d2d and cut off.

Yes, just do the job properly 1/6 D2D, even cold calling to delivery points without live mail. And finish on time either cut-off or use appendix 3.2 of the conduct code......ring the office to say that you cannot finish on time & will be returning undelivered mail.

No change in our office, not a word from anyone about d2d so the sh*t should fly

I have 510 calls on my deep rural which is 13.5 miles from the office to my 1st call ,and 19 miles from my last call. I have 1.21hrs travelling time according to Pegasus and 4.30hrs delivery time & 40mins meal relief and 10mins van check........Pegasus says my delivery is 45mins over and i'm unable to complete everyday & cut-off or claim pressure overtime. I have even filled a grievance about the size of my delivery and asked a manager to come out and test my round on any day of the week. The answer was NO. The only way I could complete my delivery on time would be as follows :
1. Come in early for free.
2. Not prep D2D in frame and have box in van.
3. No vehicle checks.
4. Drive over speed limits.
5. No seat belt
6. Mail in front seat.
7. Jump over walls & stretch over walls to next door.
8. No meal relief (work through it)
9. Doorstep or leave parcels with anyone in street.
10. Hide mail when I cannot be arsed to go to far places.

Cannot wait until Monday to deliver my 85 a day D2D according to RM agreement cold call and all.......Even more cut-off than before........bring it on I say, I will be losing £8 a week on this deal anyway. :Applause
