There have been hints about counting things at our office too. They never stop do they. The relentless drive to get us to do more and more each week gets pretty wearing.

Just work your time. Let them measure what they want, all you have to do is turn up and deliver the mail safely and according to their own guidelines.

Seeing as there no other thread I'm guessing it's not national at all - what are they up to?

D2D have to be counted along with letters as its now "part of your workload" in the agreement, they tried to skip the D2D when they were counting the mail until I pointed out it must be included in the count, I don't think they were too happy with that as it threw their traffic figures out :Very Happy
