The answer to this problem is to Email the Chief Executive and hopefully that will drop your managers in it

However, doubt that RM would invest in it, or ask producers to split them correctly.
Yes, I probably could have put it better. Nothing RM would invest in would bother individually counting.

If that happened you would probably be suspended and an investigation triggered.

Yes but it's not your job to encourage them to come to that decision. :wink:

Why cant you just take them ? It will take longer to prep, which means you will take longer to get out , which means more cut offs , whats the problem with that?? :whistle

A number of our D2Ds have special offers that are dated - delivering the following week is not an option in that case!

I would also email Bob Gibson's department and notify him of what is going on. He can then follow it through so there is less likelihood of RM burying the issue.
