Mailsort left on saturday?

Post by 1612890497 »

Just wondering if this was normal all over the country ?

seems some locations are completely different and i've notice many don't do this although every office by me does.

I think Mailsort 3 hasn't been left on a Saturday in most places for a couple of years now.

ditto - we don't take it as, at the moment - Saturday is significantly shorter and that's the trigger for it - we do longs and shorts.

We have a clear office policy.
What comes in goes out.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Personal choice in ours, I take it Sat as Monday tends to be my lightest day (no mail sort)

Got told in about October last year that ALL Mailsort goes out on a Saturday. There was barely a murmur as for most people it works out to be about 20 letters if that. Going back a couple of years and it wasn't unusual to get 2 or 3 mech bundles of the stuff!

We have never took the stuff. :Very Happy

To be honest i seldom get much anyway as we refuse to sort it and little comes in the mech. Mind you saying that a lot of the dsa "S" mail on a sat is nothing more than re-packaged mailsort :sad:

If you're working to your time which we are all supposed to be ...why would you?
I know why managers want to....but why members?
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

They seem to run it all out on a Friday in our office. Saturday mail sort is negligible.
