Door 2 Doors, Again!
Does it matter if you do your d2d's everyday or just put the whole lot in on one day? I don't see the problem as long as there all done right, but is this how managers see it, are there any consequences?

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Re: Door 2 Doors, Again!
Officially they're meant to be done each day, something like 20%, but if your office is like mine, as long as they're done by the end of the week then it's ok, I tend to throw the lot off on a Monday then deliver anything with live mail each and every day, by the end of he week they're basically done.

Re: Door 2 Doors, Again!
You need to be a little bit careful, if you don't do any monday then go sick tuesday you could end up in a bit of bother, they are part of your daily workload. Obviously the more days you leave before you do any, should you go sick, then the more grief you could find yourself in.

Good point, but what would happen in this situation then if days were missed?micksurrey wrote:You need to be a little bit careful, if you don't do any monday then go sick tuesday you could end up in a bit of bother, they are part of your daily workload.

Re: Door 2 Doors, Again!
With 7 d2ds put in all over the frame. I bet your cover will not be pleased. It is hard picking letters with d2ds in already - and flicking through almost each one to see whether there are any letter is not convenient.
Then you have double slots. I had 6 d2ds today - four of them were A4 and then a pesky direct line. I took everything because the walkholder does not like d2ds left behind.
However, I left some today (from yesterday) for another cover - he agreed for me to leave them because my other partner does not like delivering to houses without letters (I do not care - it is part of my daily duty). Anyway, the bloke took them all because he does not want to bother going through the slots.

D2D are becoming scarce recently in my office, we've had 3 lots in total in the last 6 weeks. Not that I'm complaining.

You could and its only could, get done for Wilful delay, can't imagine it but its a possibility. They are part of your daily workload, they are a pain in the arse but they help to protect jobs.pumpkin2 wrote:Good point, but what would happen in this situation then if days were missed?micksurrey wrote:You need to be a little bit careful, if you don't do any monday then go sick tuesday you could end up in a bit of bother, they are part of your daily workload.

So why isn't this happening to people who have clearly missed days, and have stacks of d2d's left to hand in at the end of the week?micksurrey wrote:You could and its only could, get done for Wilful delay, can't imagine it but its a possibility.

Because it's being mis-managed, all you are tasked to do is 1/6th per day, whats the problem with that, cold calling or not?pumpkin2 wrote:So why isn't this happening to people who have clearly missed days, and have stacks of d2d's left to hand in at the end of the week?micksurrey wrote:You could and its only could, get done for Wilful delay, can't imagine it but its a possibility.
