Probably get a slap on the wrist and don't do it again.

Next time use your brain, if you are going to put something in a safe place make sure it is a safe place! :nana

It's a problem having to hang on to packets especially when your bag's full of d2d's (and maybe one or two letters). It's a shame van drivers can't take more parcels but apparently they need to have so many sq ft of fresh air in the back of the van.

Yet today i found out that, they never got the package. Thus it must have been stolen by someone.
I'm assuming i'll take the blame for this...will I be sacked? :/
I hate to sound cruel but you know you r not supposed to do it, there is no excuse. There's enough threats from trumped up charges by managers without playing into their hands, so the sack is wot u will probably get... Wud I be right in saying u fly out the door in your own car n take your own pouches??

:Applause Spot on in my opinion! I dont drive personally and we are pre revision so what am i supposed to do when iam already forced to carry overweight bags? Taking everything back to the office just seems to be another stupid idea RM have had without thinking it through properly and its us as always that suffers.
