Don’t bite the hand that feeds you , it’s revenue for the company and part of our job.

Exactly, it's all revenue for the company that pay our wages and sick pay and into our pension. Share price on the up, not many other companies can say that at the minute. Don't mean to sound crass and insensitive but one of our d2ds this week was for dignity funeral directors.

Agree with your post but at 4:54pm today (18th) the figures were 2,696 cases and 104 dead.

Probably mainly due to them being legally required to by the USO

If they have run out of toilet paper, the d2d's might actually be welcomed for once

I don't know...some of them are a bit slippy. There wouldn't be much 'purchase' with them.

And Sprattacus! It's Promotional Mail dear boy, not junk mail...

Don't forget that D2D not only generate revenue for the business but they create jobs for printers, graphic designers etc. I got d2d today, lifted it, put it in bin, and washed my hands, it's not rocket science

Can’t believe so many people on different threads trying to get out of doing any work by disguising their laziness as concern for spreading the virus. So many people don’t want to deliver packets,parcels, letters ,D2D etc etc. Many don’t want to go to work but still want full pay and expect the company to still be there when all this is finally over. On one thread someone has called on the CWU leaders to grow a pair and call strikes. About time some postman grew a pair and manned up. Shop workers, nurses, cleaners etc etc are working away putting in extra and yet the usual cry babies want to shy away. I have seen and heard many comparing this situation to a war...... well thank f**k it ain’t one!!!

Very true.

We need to get things to the people + I want Royal Mail to prosper and survive, not pack up and risk job layoffs.

People are even having a go at management for not providing hand sanitiser because they themselves can't spend a couple of pounds on their own bottle. If you haven't bought your own hand sanitiser then you obviously don't care that much about keeping your hands clean, you are just trying to guilt trip management. Do you want Royal Mail to wipe your bum for you too?
