Job and Finish

Job and knock.

10/15 years ago, mail 4,5,6 times more than it is now. Head down, finish early, no dragging of the heals. It rewarded efficiency. Bring it back. Please.

The company thought it could bank that time by giving you more. And more. And more. And here we are in a position where duties are failing everyday and very few are interested in staying out till tea time to clear.

I've said this before: everything they've brought in to increase efficiency (lapsing, SISO, the million other tasks loaded onto delivery, etc) has instead destroyed its capacity to provide the service. Squeezing the lemon till it's pulverised powder just leaves you thirstier.

To bring it back you'd also need duty sizes and parcel volumes to return to those times too, plus 1 person 1 duty.
The problem you also have is that the majority of modern day posties are more than happy to work their full hours and go home.

With regard to the practices in this thread of people going home hours early, I'd say those day will be numbered due to how the new duties will be structured into groups. The clear implication is that 3 people (plus a float) will be responsible for meeting (or in the likely scenario of trying but failing) the delivery spec of DM26. Finish early? Go help the other person/persons in your group. No single person on delivery will be doing the exact same route/loops/parcels and 1C only, on consecutive days.
No manager is going to allow 3-4 people who currently finish early work together in one of these groups, well you never know...
