Re: sky mags ( back breakers )
Most got left as our DO doesn't take Mailsort on a Saturday. Sometimes the Managers just want an easy life in the DO on a Saturday, so they can clear off home early!
Me being the arse-licking, rent boy took all mine today!
Seriously I took them because I don't want a cr*p day on Monday.
The canny ones will say they can't do the absorbing on the Monday because it's too heavy with Sky Mags, Boo Hoo, spit the dummies out time.

Is it not a distance thing? We got ours on Wednesday.Luckily I deliver to an absolute s**t hole so sky subscribers are not really in high abundance.

Re: sky mags ( back breakers )
My office too got a load of MS Sky mags on Friday, some duties got loads and some got nothing
and some left them until Monday and some cleared today...........I really don't care anymore about them, the MC should be sending these out with 5 days to deliver and not streaming them until they have to.

why would you think that distribution staff would hide these things in a corner?in our office they are pushed through to processing almost as soon as they arrive and arrive in delivery offices whithin 2 days so stop whining about things you know sod all about and realise we are all in the s**t together.
who the hell invests £2 billion into a servic and makes it worse?????????????
you really couldn't make it up!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: sky mags ( back breakers )
In our office, we sort them for surrounding offices, they didn't come in until wed/thurs this week. Which was a lot later than normal. Which meant surrounding offices got them thurs/fri to start sorting. A bit too late for delivering by end of the month imo.

Re: sky mags ( back breakers )
Point is they had to be sitting around somewhere, either in a distribution centre or at a Sky warehouse? I got some at the start of the week, can't remember what the were (Mailsort, 2nd class etc) but got the bulk of them for my walk on Saturday but left them till Monday like everyone else because they were Mailsort. I heard a manager tell someone they had to go Saturday but I wasn't told so Left them under my frame covered by some other Mailsort.
Four cassettes tho of the s**t is a bit much for a Saturday imo.

Sky Mags have been weird this week - had some every day but not walksorted as they normally are - they all came loose.
