Park & Loop Packets
Managers are now starting to send out walk holder drivers on Park and Loop that are struggling to complete their walks with packets as early as 7 am and the guys that are on light duties in the office have been told jump on their walk while they are out delivering to help pull their time back, bit concerned about this as some rough places to deliver at 7 am plus the dark mornings are arriving rapidly, R M really looks after your safety nowadays. What next one wonders?

Ohhh to dream of delivering large packets on the day they arrive at the D.O. Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end. We'd sing and dance forever and a day. We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.

Re: Park & Loop Packets
Why should it matter to you? Just go out and deliver...........then come back and finish prep, pull out, load up and go out..........and if you need to cut off/leave behind/claim OT then do so.
People need to get it into their heads that 8 hours work for 8 hours pay............and if they mess your duty around then it will take longer and you'll have less time to deliver.

Re: Park & Loop Packets
Its not about working 8 hours for 8 hours pay its the fact of sending a lone driver out at 7am where anything could happen to him/her and like most offices they don't answer phones if there was a issue to busy tipping met boxes in front of you instead.DGP1 wrote:Why should it matter to you?

Re: Park & Loop Packets
Slightly confused about this 7am business,as a driver pre P&L,me and the other drivers at my place do this 6 days a week.
This has been the norm at my place and many others no doubt in the business,give or take the heavy days when it's between 7 and 7:30.
Didn't you guys used to do this when we had early,then earlyish starts?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
