should managers be throwing off walks and covering duties themselves? seems to me they are taking jobs away from people.

Nice to see them doing something though rather than standing around :cuppa watching everyone else struggle. I think it makes them feel like they are down with the kids, never see them picking up the nightmare walks though. :Boo hoo!

Who wants to do delivery beyond 3pm? That's why they end up doing it, if finish times were left more would be willing, not worth chew "your late ain't yer?" don't mind doing parcels on ot.

Manager and callers office staff throw off the walks for the lapsing, and usually end up delivering it! :left:

I'm pretty sure that There's something in one of the national agreements saying managers shouldn't perform ooh work

In our office we have god alone knows how many local agreements on this point

And of course gaffers ignore them daily
