Also basically forcing staff to work 6 days a week by not covering rest days,it’s really bad,especially when it’s a long weekend,coming back on Tuesday to 3 days of letters(not even prepped)and non tracked parcels ,it’s so stressful,not sure how much more I can take,playing catch up all the time.jobs completely f****d

Sad times 😢
There's a solution...... don't work 6 days a week or don't try to catch up.
You do realise that your manager knows you will catch up so he just ignores what's happening and lets you do the damage to yourself. Look after No1 and give yourself a break, also will push the pressure onto your manager.
Problem is if you don't try and catch up then the issue just gets worse and worse each week.
yeah the MANAGER is really gonna have a stressful time figuring out what to do with all that mail build up
They don't they sit in their office expecting the duty holder to catch-up and out of the streets we're getting the stick from customers asking why they are no longer getting daily deliveries.
