Overtime = no

SA = no

Stress = far too much

Go home on time for hugs with my 3 amigos.

Maybe managers will work............

I love xmas pressure, plenty of sorting overtime, plenty of excess to book (all overtime paid at S/A rate in our office), plenty of nice customers thrusting money into my hands, xmas cd playing in the van, more work to do but who cares it's only for a few weeks, then for the last couple of days of pressure watching all the deferred mail start to pile up in the office for delivery from 27th onwards knowing i'm off until the 2nd week in January. :dance

Xmas ? If you just shut your eyes it might all go away. No plans in our office yet, however it is only mid November.
I know we'll just operate on a " wing and a prayer ". Maybe time to get the WCM team involved. :nana

Christmas is no different than any other time of the year for me. I come in on time, take my break on time, go home on time simple. :cuppa Let the asshole's who come in early work their break and prep D2D in their own time worry about xmas :wave

"just leave the parcels in the office, after all they won't fit in our vans" is the best idea because parcels are big enough to be noticed. :nana
I can't do everything and that's my plan this year. :nana :nana :nana

So far, we have acquired an extra DOM (seconded from WCM who don't celebrate Christmas apparently) to bully and harass staff in a kind of good cop / bad cop tag team setup.
And absorbing has been renamed "seasonal savings" to get us in the festive mood.
Can't wait to see what else they have planned, really too excited already. :nana
