Re: managers counting mail
What on earth does 'drop a loop' mean?
Do you mean you want to work to your time? There's a procedure to follow, it's been posted on here a few times. It's up to your manager what work he takes off you to enable you to finish on time.

Re: managers counting mail
Its obvious to me as well and I have never done park & loopy. Here a manager will count the gaps in your fitting after prepping and then use a magic formula in his head to tell you that you have time to flex.

Only formula they know is coffee to milk ratios. We get a simple "Look at all those empty slots!"

Re: managers counting mail
Each 3 semi- or detached houses with no mail roughly saves us the time taken for getting no answer at an attendance call i.e. ~1 minute, depending upon path lengths from the pavement, taking account of time spent stationary at a doorstep filtering the mail for the next address.

Re: managers counting mail
as for ''counting the mail'' that is one of their new answers to people who ''drop loops'' when they think you have time to do it.....we've had this shite off them since October 2010...they get no-where with it though, it doesn't wash and its not big, and its not clever.

If they moan when you are cutting off, tell them to test the walk and they soon walk off
