Missorts

Post by beinspired »

Curious to know how missorts are done in other offices. In my office they arrive about 9.00 - 9.15, and no one is let out until every last letter (and i mean EVERY letter) is correctly directed to the appropriate person or place. This can take up to 45 mins some days, but we may only get a couple of missorts each.
Over the top?

Missorts usually arrive on the "last van" around 9.00 - 9.15, and we are usually out the door between 9.20 - 9.30

Our miss-sort run gets in around 8:45. Only when these are sorted are we allowed to collect our Specials.

So you can imagine the scene - and endless queue of impatient posties forms in front of the cage and we slowly feel our will to live being drained from us as the PHG's faff about dishing the bastard things out. 20 minutes wasted if you're at the back of the queue.

How RM can imagine that this is a productive use of our time escapes me but then I'm just a foot soldier, what would I know?
