Only way to deal with it, this requires a united office and nationwide after all we can turn the agreement back at them, we are NOT required to work beyond our time. I fully intend to utilise that. :cuppa

Nope - It was put forward to RM but the customers wouldn't have liked it. I agree, if I was trying to use D2D's to advertise my business I wouldn't want them stuck in an envelope with loads of other firms stuff.

Bring 'em on RM - More D2D to prep means I'm cutting off, spending less time walking around delivering and my cut-off means more OT for those who want to take it.

More time in the office the better. It means less time working our bollards off pounding the streets.

Ah yes - how engaging that the union has just agreed a trial of "wrapping" the D2Ds which will mean that there could be many more with less prep time because only one item will need to be thrown off - wonderful.

If you don't want to do D2D then you don't have to.
Just tell your DOM you won't be doing any, take your rep as a witness and then go home and put your feet up.
Sorry Clash. Surely that statement cannot be correct ; as the D2D's are live mail as far as I am aware?

He's being sarcastic.
Go home,put your feet up and start looking through the recruitment section of your newspaper I think was the premise.

This should be the way everybody works now.. :thumbup. Unfortunately the new starters no,no different. They feel under a massive amount of pressure to get things done and are being told ( at least by our management ) that they have to complete come what may. We are trying to bring them round to our way of thinking but for a new starter whose keen and needs a job having a daily battle with management is not the best way to help their trial period.

That's the thing that pleases me most, the more time spent prepping in the office, the less time spent walking our feet off on the streets. For once, and it's not often I say this, but thank you so much, Royal Mail......For once, even if it was unintentional, you've done us, the wise amongst us, a very good turn. :Applause
