Missorts on Delivery

[clashcityrocker]

this might seem a daft question but endorse them with what? Do you write something on them ? (like mis-sort)

Yes you write missort, the date, your walk number and you initial/sign it.

There used to be a proper sticker which you put on then filled out. Was easy to peel as well so it didn't rip the letter/packet and also looked tidier as someone's Item of mail didn't have "miss-sort" written all over it.

I use the following endorsements on my duty:

BU = Boarded Up -
GL = Gate Locked
DL = Dog Loose
TNA = Temporary No access (something blocking the path that I should not move and cant get around ie full bin )
REF = Refused
GA = Gone Away
UK = Unknown at this address
DO?DL - Door Open - Dog Loose ?

But we are not allowed to use abbreviations any more.

You can always D.A.L them Manager cannot proove nothing at that rate, but if you have time deliver, personally I would rather deliver them than go back for the manager to find something else to do or more absorption. I'd make a point of telling Mr Stevie Wonder what he is doing as well.

I'm a part timer, and i have 5 different full timers who sort my mail for 20 mins each before i arrive in the morning,

i get at least 40 missorts per day, i am sick of it, i once brought them back and informed my manager who then had a right go at me for not delivering them.
I told him, if i had sorted the walk myself i would have delivered them but i'm not sorting out other peoples mistakes every single day.

I still just bring them back, although he says nothing now, as he hasn't spoken to me in 2 months since i started a grievance procedure against him over other matters, and now he is sulking like a big fat bald baby, the twat !!

I'm in a similar position sometimes. I've chucked walks out before that I don't even know and been told I didn't manage a single missort. I can appreciate that it's easy to see a number and get tunnel vision, but when I'm encountering 40 to 50 missorts, it's impossible to keep track of them and deliver them on my way around the rest of the round. I can understand somebody saying 'deliver them' but surely the bigger issue in this is that there is such a significant number of missorts on one walk? Sometimes, I'll finish my walk with fifteen minutes to go and loads of packets to go back and hand in. I don't have time to go and do a second delivery. Thankfully, whoever chucked my walk out today did a pretty good job and I'm eternally grateful to them.
