The 'How was your D2D today?' thread
Well colleagues,how did you get on? 
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

This ain't no baseball game, you get only one chance and you blew it.

Not breaking the agreement at all its a minimum of 1/6th a day (Planning Guidelines) and we have the freedom to do more if we so wish.
Whilst the planned workload will be spread across the 6 days, delivery employees will have the ability to manage the delivery of the items themselves on the proviso that all items are delivered within the week and the delivery specification is not affected.

Re: The 'How was your D2D today?' thread
I got in this morning to find 1/3rd of mine thrown off. Strange thing is my round is never thrown off for me.
Did anyone else get the contradictory information sheet from management. Stupid points like d2d to be prepped last, 1/6th per day, then, all d2d's to be prepped into frame before you leave on Monday. I just ignored it, took all the ones which had been prepped. Only 2 lots this week,but they still had the payment rate on the box label, just to add insult to injury.

Re: The 'How was your D2D today?' thread
I had the maximum 4 as at present. No extra allocation of time to prep them into walk, as it's a shorter working day today, tomorrow, and Saturday, i had to cull today leaving a quarter of my walk in, i assume this is going to be typical from now on, may even have to cull more by end of week on heavier days.
Harrasment, Bullying, Victimisation, is all going to start rearing its ugly head once again, as i now have to have a "chat" with Dom in morning.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

3 this week - some have 4 though not many to be fair - however 2 are heavy ones which I think under the old way of doing it they would not have been accepted on the same week.

Re: The 'How was your D2D today?' thread
came in this mornin' to 2 D2D's, control sheet sez 3
spoke to DOM sez he'll look into it
oh by the way Gaff my control sheet sez "no opt outs" I have 3 official opt outs
write them down i'll look into it
sorts out 1/6th i don't put them into frame i just work from the back of my bundle i find it much easier
anyway after setting up my 2 sets i go over to get my newsbag, there's a york in the corner with boxes of D2D's on it
shouts the Gaff over what's that? I,ll look into it
next thing i know i've got another D2D on my frame
so i've got to re sort this new set along with the other 2 sets i've already set up
here's the scenario
wot if it's your Monday off the floater does 1/6th you come in Tuesday there's another D2D sitting you've now got 5/6th's plus another 1/6th for a part of your walk that's already been done
also in the olden day's you would get extra payment for late D2D's so wot now? iknow wot now get on with it absorb it
also this mornin' we didn't get any extra time to sort up D2D's because the office capacity didn't allow for it there wasn't enough mail. That old one
this is gonna be a shambles

Re: The 'How was your D2D today?' thread
Some of that shambles is down to a local DOM being incompetent, DTD should have been with you not forgotten about in a corner of the D.O.
The agreeemnt is very clear about a more professional set up in terms of getting DTD to frame, the DOM should be invited for a "chat" with the DSM!!!
