Door to Door again:6 this next week?

Post by hampshireman »

Next weeks D2D's rolled into the office today.

The average seems to be four.

But some rounds have six!!!

Now I have jusr re-read the 'final' D2D doc and whilst four seems to be allowable. Six is a no no.

Or have I got something wrong.

Or is this EA from RM?

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.

Initially thought we had 5 this week in our office after our manager had distributed them.
However, when I checked the labels I found one was for next week. It's a good job we know what we're doing because our management team haven't got a clue when it comes to D2Ds. LOL!

Might be worth you checking the dates on the labels for the 6 you've been given.

Thanks for that .

I like the 'doubly'; if I read the humour right. :Very Happy

It just feels like we are being f****d over again. And I am sure that people will just accept it.

Thanks for that. It's not the six for me (am a floater) and it's not a round I cover.

Will tell the lucky recipient tomorrow to check the dates.

If I remember correctly Jan 2011 was the date given for the roll out of 6 d2d into workload.
And trials for 5 was supposed to start July 2010 in Scotland&North east

and this is why those of us in the "popular" areas are so worried about how D2Ds are going to be brought into workload

Last 2 weeks I've had NONE on my frame..

Manager told me to just take some from another duty....didn't specify which, just as long as I take something out...

This new deal makes no sense whatsoever.

Our union are doing nothing for us. Nationally or locally.

Management are shafting us harder than they were before this new relationship.
