Office grinding to s halt

Post by woody38 »

These are extreme times & I don’t want to be out to 4pm, but I don’t want to catch this disease either, so out of the 2 I would rather stay out later. The way it’s going on delivery no 2 metres apart I can c a mass walk out, some at my old depot have already walked out claiming managers are not protecting them.

Be sorted later, postie coming in about 30 a time get them in and out so there less people around
Went in today and the office was full no social distancing at all. This is not hard, full timers put the mech in for all duties and go deliver their duties and p/t come in at 11.00 am and prep the rest of their frames and go and deliver. Why are mangers finding it hard to do this?
Maybe coz pt don't want to work till 6pm
My delivery is only 4 hours long, so no problem finishing that late.

How many vans does your office have? :shock:

We'd have to wait for the first duties to return, ergo the likely 5pm+ finish.
