HOW MANY YORKS OF PARCELS ARE IN YOUR DEPOT RIGHT NOW, 4/12?

Post by confusednewpostie »

My depot currently has 17 yorks of parcels, some from the snow backlog and some just from the DOM being piss poor at organising the packets!
I ve never seen it this busy even at xmas's gone by.
Staff in on sun to clear, but doubt they will move the lot in ONE day!

My walks got two yorks of its own, the ones either side of me have at least one each. I'd say there are probably 45 to 60 yorks (as a minimum, conservative estimate of the range) in our office. Our office being a medium-sized office for a medium-sized town.

Well i suppose none of these examples mean much without saying the size of the office you work in.

this morning saturday our dom blindly carried on making us throw ag walks in,,,that coupled with the amount of sick left a couple of us on the primary and 2 doing packets,,,,this out of 40 (ish) walks.
time got on till 8am we still had 8 yorks of packets untouched and we left them,,,,so it wont a genius to work out we`ll be busy monday.

i dont understand the mentality of making us throw ag walks in more so this time of the year,,,an on a saturday were paid from 6 - 1130....the ag`s are paid 7-12 so were they reckon we get the time to throw there walks in,,,primary sort and do our own beats me.

All year management have been saying letters are down but parcels are on increase, so come xmas, coupled with the bad weather people are going to use online shopping loads. So what do RM do, say no extra vans over the xmas period.....they really are clueless.

about 30 yorks, got as many people as vans in today doin 9-2 :crazy: , if i didn't already have 22 hours in this week i might have been tempted. 1 guy is doin the packets then a sunday collection straight after ! 9 hours on a sunday. Sunday packets are great, takes you about 1 and half hour and then go home for some brekkie !
