How many duties have you done in your DO ?
I have been at RM for just over six months, and I will be leaving in June. Anyway to date I have done 20 different duties since I started. With 19 of them in the last three months. It seems a bit of a pi** take actually, you would think that a reserve would be kept on the same 5 or 6 duties, so that they would get used to them. Its one of the reasons I got sick of working for RM also.
Anyway as the title goes how many duties have you done in your DO ?

As a similar "bitch" I could say ... how many different DOs/SPDOs have you worked in within your postcode area ... I'm up to 6 (in 18 months) ... lost count of duties ... 
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

I've only missed 4of the duties in my office and I'm very experienced, sometimes it's nice to have the variety and sometimes it's nice to have a change

Re: How many duties have you done in your DO ?
I probably done about 75 out 120 duties and I do different walk each week for last 6+ years. Not nice but not too bad with WSM mail depending on the walk.

Re: How many duties have you done in your DO ?
3 + half of a 4th out of 37 duties. My walk the training walk 1 week on reserve and half a walk as a favour to the lino.
I signed for my duty pretty much straight after my coming off the training walk due to some outrageous good fortune.
NOW we have people who've been reserve for 5+ years and have done all the walks in the office coz they've been unable to sign for a walk

Re: How many duties have you done in your DO ?
When I first started about 7 to 8 years ago I did approximately 50 - 60 different duties in the 18 months. Back then we never told what we were on till the day itself, and sometimes that even changed on the day. I think I had 1 week in all that time when I did the same duty every day, beyond that it was 2 days at most.Sliders wrote:I have been at RM for just over six months, and I will be leaving in June.

Re: How many duties have you done in your DO ?
I've probably done about 80 rounds 90% of our town walks,at last resign i signed for leave reserve and must admit i like different walk each week,with WSM and a p&l buddy to point you in right direction its no longer the nightmare that it used to be when you were dropped off in the dark with a dodgy torch and a bag of mail.

I have done all the delivery and collection duties in my office. I have also done the odd afternoon in the locker, but never the DOM support duty. My office is only small though, about 50 staff.

31 out of 44.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: How many duties have you done in your DO ?
I had done them all in my time as a reserve but they have all changed a great deal since SDD and again with park&loop so i suppose the real answer is 1. 
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
