Killing off

Post by Rudolph_Hucker »

Am I having a senior moment?

I thought somebody posted on here we were to stop killing off from 25th March.

I had more to do today than ever on one day.
If you do a job too well, you’ll get stuck with it.

So it's no saving of time to us then, I wonder who came up with that great idea (probably the same as the backless frames and the taking away any spare frames).

Why is it that no matter how much you scribble over the orange lines, some of the envelopes come back to haunt you a few days later?

I have heard that this is what is supposed to be happening, according to my boss anyway. What's that about the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing?

Typical RM. Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. :nana

Not quite right, it's a new system being trialled up north, no need to crayon or sticker as items are now supposed to get intercepted at mailcentre and not returned to do

Can't see it happening, many MCs don't even have time to cancel stamps on their late shifts, judging by the many sleeves of parcels that have many uncancelled stamps

No it doesn't osgoody.
What it means is that the mailcentre will allegedly intercept any items endorsed by the customer before they reach the D.O. and kill them off themselves.
That's the theory anyway..In practice I would imagine the mailcentres will get bored with it inside a week,they are very busy people.
They must be because they obviously don't have time to cut and tip and that's why they fill our packet yorks with direct bags of flats.
As far as i'm aware it's only happening in the North Region at the moment.

It makes sense.
Why sort the mail at a MC, transport it to a DO, sort them again at IPS until finally a postie can kill them off in order to return them to a MC and then back to the sender?

I think this is being rolled out nationally because we no longer have any crayons in our office and no manager seems able to order any.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
