Previous day's mail brought back.
Hi
Just hoping someone can clear this up for me, I'm on the same round all this week (I'm a reserve) but the guy that covers the round's day off every week, hurt his ankle half way through delivery today. My mate has just told me that the brought back half round of mail hasn't been delivered. Does this mean I have to go in tomorrow to and deal with the 2 bags that hasn't been delivered, plus a full round of tomorrows mail also?
This doesn't seem right, that its down to me, because the DOM doesn't want to pay OT, to get it cleared. Any insight on this would be great.

Put it back into the frame and then don't take out what you can't get delivered within your time.

Re: Previous day's mail brought back.
If it's not been delivered then it gets done with the next days mail.
If you can't get it all done on time and the DIM doesn't wanna pay OT then just inform your manager and take what will take you to your finish time. If you can manage it all within your time then you just have to do it.
Incidentally - Only 2 bags for half a delivery on a Wednesday? That's gotta be a decent duty!

Re: Previous day's mail brought back.
Ask the DIM/Lino what they what you to do 1st , re prep mail and prep tomorrows mail. Again ask the DIM/Lino what they want you to do , if they offer you O/T and you want it ok , if not tell them you're not working over and ask them what they want you to take. Leave the decisions to the ones that are paid to make them also see your Rep and get witnesses to anything the managers say to you.

I go by the mantra of small bags for me - big headaches for my line manager.

Re: Previous day's mail brought back.
Jeez 4 bags.... reminds me of when I started a decade ago!
Had 7 proper sized bags today and it was the lightest weds I've had since we started P & L six months ago....
...fortunately that means I always cut off and just do the nice bits of my walk so it's not all bad!

Re: Previous day's mail brought back.
I dream of a 4 bag duty. I always have 7 (except Tuesdays where i can usually get away with 5) and if the mail is any higher than average i have to split 3 of the 7 into 2 giving me 10 bags! And that's pre-revision.

2 Bags of 10 kilos would be ok - 2 bags of 16kg plus

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
