Induction Day & First Week

Chaos...

You'll probably be paired up with someone who'll show you what you're meant to be doing and where you're going.

What's all this chat about part timers getting their mail prepped up by the full timers?!
Doesn't happen in our DO.
All the part timers start at 8 well are supposed to, in reality it's anywhere between 7.30 and 8.
We have to collect and prep the whole walk, do kill offs and redirections, bundle up and bag up then prep the next days D2D's then I'll have a quick fag and cycle/walk off to our rounds.
Some days I'm finished a bit early, some days on time and other days, often a Wednesday I'll be back 20 minutes late.

How is it every DO seems to operate differently?

Ever DO operates differently because we have different delivery spans and different f/t p/t ratios.

We have p/t staff on 30 hr contracts who prep their own walks and staff on 25 hr contracts who don't.
In some offices there are p/t staff who do full days but shorter working weeks.
Variety is the spice of life.

some partimers in non P&L are waysiders - in essence they only do last prep and the delivery - in my office they are 25 hours contracts.

In P&L offices sometimes the 30 hour are teamed up with a 39/40hr postie who does a double prep of the 2 combined walks.
