No change you just have less days to take them.

If you have specific instructions as to when to take them then ask the manager they should be able to manage it.

I'll take out as much as I can manage, and leave the rest for old Dim/Dom to worry about. Much like every week, in fact. :Very Happy

We have to put Fridays (or Mondays next week) in through the week so they all get delivered - they usually leave it up to us to put this extra in, probably because it involves extra time that doesn't exist, so they give the instruction and disappear!

Given there are 5 working days this week and next, at my depot we are expected to take out 1/5 per day, instead of 1/6 each day on a standard 6-day week.

Which means more prep time; probable higher call rate during the first half of the week along with bigger and heavier letter bundles; which means increased odds of cut-offs or o/t.

So cos its a bank holiday we have to double up the d2d and take 2 lots on the tuesday. Totally c*ap this , the d2d customers who pay for the service want telling that if it's a shorter week then they only go 4 or 5 days and some customers will not get one. We are not robots. Like the polling cards that had to all go in one day causing cutoffs , when will the managers have sense?? :arrrghhh
Why are lino's paid full-time ??

Same here, last week was a nightmare. One of the DtoD's was a classic, the dreaded free pen. There are now 1000's of, how can i put it, 'extras' in the corner of the office. What will management do? Nothing. Honestly, over the years management have become more and more inept. And this week......NONE!
