D2D-new scattergun approach!!

Post by dubdaz »

We're a large office who have been sending back too many d2d's(roughly 2-4 yorks a week),this week our DOM has implimented a new scheme which has enabled him to not send so much back.He's shared out all the dumped (quite a few bad apples in the office) d2d's to every walk and told us to filter them in with our own.Some people this week have been delivering 'january sale' d2d's and pizza leaflets to an area that the pizza company is'nt local to.
I thought we took this work on as targeted advertising to requested areas,is this scheme RM official policy?

Surely that's fraud on the part of the manager. The companies that paid for D2D's have a contract with Royal Mail to deliver them at the right time to the right locations.

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.

Why not tell everyone to leave any left over D2D's at the end of the bench, taking away the D2D 'bin'

Seems the simple solution?

Managment have to send a report on every household ,they also have to report how many items are returned it doesnt look good on there behalf if there are hundreds of d2d being returned So that is there simple solution .But if there are hundreds of d2ds being left then somebody is not doing them, its there job to find out instead of taking the easy option .
