D2Ds next week

Post by Broxi51 »

We have D2D's in for next week even though we only have 4 days to do them.
One postie said that they were going to take some out tomorrow because they wouldn't have time next week :arrrghhh

What f***ing chance do we have!!!! :Sick

Sorry........We only have 3 days to do them because we have a local agreement that no D2Ds would be done on a Saturday
but last time they told us national agreement would take precedence.
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.

Do what you can within your hours and (that magic word) cut off what you can't, they have been put into workload so they're just treated as workload.


Maybe we need a big banner across the top of the page saying that (and also one saying that we don't get paid for D2Ds).

You should also have a contingency plan for dealing with bank holidays.
I would imagine that includes saturday delivery...it usually does.

I don't see the problem unless you're trying to either make time or do the impossible.
What do you do when you get a bulk posting for 100% of your doors?

Never understand people's problems with door 2 doors these days. Bring on 6 or 7 or 8 lots, I dont give a damm. They are now part of your work load so you get extra time to chuck them in, and if doing 6 lots over 5/6 days takes your over your time every day then inform manager and it's there problem.

Its a five day week so you have five days to do them. I don't see what the problem is. If we can do 6 lots of D2D in a six day week what is the problem doing 3 or 4 lots in a five day week?

In Jockland they get an extra day off over the New Year and he's already said that they don't deliver them on Saturday (local agreement) so that makes 3 days.

Even so, if we can do six in a six day week we can do three in a three day week....

But you don't do 1 per day, you divide up the DPs by 6/5 and then deliver all of them within that time. Remember that it only takes an extra 10 minutes per extra contract to prep up on a normal day but can take an extra 20 minutes if you cut down the amount of time to deliver them.................I may have even confused myself with that one. :nervous
