The "how much did you cut today" thread

[Barbel]

I claimed for an hour today. There's no question of cutting off otherwise you just get it in the neck and it will be there waiting for you in the morning.

Left half the packets behind which was prob an hours work and was picked up for 2 hrs OT by someone. Took the rest and finished 5 mins over my time.

Ah I will give them that being Christmas and all.

Yesterday we returned every packet that needed knocking on + all oversized except tracked. Today was even busier, we had two full yorks of large packets and trays filled with packets we didn't have time to take. We had a driver take some for us but with what he returned and the stuff we took back there are over 40 packets still in the office.

To sum it up, in total we had somewhere around 80-90 doors to knock on today, had we taken it all.

I had a conversation like that with the dom today. To be fair his ok and actually manages the workload.

There was two and a half packet bags waiting by my frame and once the ips was finished I had another full one to add. We decided that I would only take Tracked and packets that would fit through the box. I think I only hand to knock on about 8 or 9 doors today for sigs, it was bliss.

Left our walk collapsing and a york full of parcels and still finished 20 mins over. Did same yesterday and finished 45 mins over :/

Our manager is ok too, he knows we're not taking the piss. Our walks get hammered at Christmas and we've taken just mail, packets that will fit through the door + tracked and specials on many occasions over the last couple of years.

One of the walks in our office had half a packet bag today, he tied up the loops and the walker had 4 packets split over 3 loops. Crazy how different the walks are when those walks are right next to ours!

I'm on hct industrial mainly, Dom says today can you take a can next week so you can do all the large packets as well! 'Won't take you any extra as you are going there and they are all open' he says! Don't think so unless he wants to pay OT!!!

[dave72]

Left 40 packets and 6 loops today (basically a full time duty)

[Rumple]

Myself and P&L left 20+ packets/parcels (on DOMs suggestion) and was still 50minutes over (and like fools we didn't use trolleys)

whats cutting off? seems when I ask I bluntly get told no. But its alright for some of my other colleagues in the office. Same goes for leaving packets.

If you expect that you will not be able to finish by your contracted finish time you can inform your manager that you will not make it, so when it gets near your finish time you 'cut off' your walk and return to base leaving enough time to walk back and finish up. AFAIK you have every right to cut off whenever you want providing you tell them in advance, I'd speak to a union rep.

Managers are prone to uncontrollable bouts of bullshitting, delusions and cessation of higher mental functions.

Left 2 packet bags today. Not all the packets had been cleared from yesterday so it was pointless tipping them. Finished bang on time.

cessation, doesn't it have to start for that to happen. Some managers I have had the misfortune to work with think Engaging Cognitive Processes is an MC function, or a Geeky Kamasutra.

[manboss]

We left a York full of oversized, so in fact we took none out today, got back gone 3 and they were still all there, plus some other other yorks full of parcels and nobody I asked seemed to know who was doing them!

[claretandblue]

3 loops and 60 packets.
