Rural Duty Holder - Lazy B-----d
What are the rural duty holders like in your office? In mine he is the laziest b@stard employed bY RM and what really pisses me off is everyone including management know it but won't do anything about it. As I have said it "REALLY PISSES ME OFF"

Re: Rural Duty Holder - Lazy B-----d
They do the longest walks, they even do ips, and work far later than town deliveries.
I am glad I dont drive.
They get my respect.

Re: Rural Duty Holder - Lazy B-----d
Our office, rurals are 4.5 hours plus. Most are 5 hours.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

Re: Rural Duty Holder - Lazy B-----d
Rurals in my office have the longest duties (from 5 hours to over 6) whilst the towns can finish long before their time, I've done both...........2 hour duties
that was 2 weeks that I'll never forget

Re: Rural Duty Holder - Lazy B-----d
Our 3 rurals don't do ips and get off when they are ready and come in an hour after most of us.
They finish around the same time as us(so made an hour there)but only cos they are stretching things out.If they wanted they could easily make 2 hours a day.

Re: Rural Duty Holder - Lazy B-----d
Another difference with rurals is that the vast majority of houses out in the country get post every day, whereas in towns, and in village housing estates, you can expect to skip a fair proportion of houses especially earlier in the week.
