Square peg in a round hole

[HTPostman]

I'm a new postie and was trained to put a card in when there is a parcel. Works for me as I never run out of cards on a walk.

We aren't meant to do this as cards inevitably end up being posted and confused customers turn up at the delivery office expecting a parcel.

I once covered a round the day after the duty holder who’d marked on a P739 where he was doing D2Ds for (#288 to #342). He then accidentally posted the P739 through #342 door. She caught hold of me the next day, it was absolute hell trying to 1. Figure out what he’d done (I didn’t know he wrote himself a D2D reminder) and 2. Try to explain to old Edna what it meant.

The training in this company is laughable if ant at all,they give you a map and a pda and keys and off you go,that’s what I had when got sent out to another office following a bumper scuff of an rtc and the town guys wouldn’t go despite bathe boss telling them to,brilliant,ended up working to my time and bringing behalf it back,and being told I thought you would have delivered all that,well you thought bwrong my friend,this isn’t my office,I haven’t a clue.nothing in place to train people a bit so they have a bit of a clue to do a certain delivery if they need to,

Yes the training is a joke now. When i started i had a full 6 day week of training and induction and 3 days were in the classroom. I also had an easy 'training' walk of about 280 houses, all single slots and a bike to get round on. Those were the days.
