Jeez, what time do you start in your office, 5am? Make the most of it, it ain't gonna last long.

It’s just some of us are quicker/better than others. That’s not having a go, it’s a fact

You must work in a nice office if you are able to finish at 11:30 doing the job properly - that’s assuming you are. Where I work in the only ones who finish on time are runners and those who cut off at this time of year. :Boo hoo!

Nope, as I have said before on here I start on time, I don’t run, I take half my break and have the other half at the end. I’m just organised.
.......and have a pxxs easy walk, otherwise you'd struggle to get done on time let alone 2 plus hrs early. Your that 'organised' that you can prep, bag up and deliver (with trolley), and have 20 mins break, three full trays of sequenced, five trays of manual and five or six packet bags plus biggies, in 5 hrs? ........or don't you get that ammount of mail and packets on your walk. Most walks in our office, you couldn't even deliver and have 20 mins break, in that time even a runner. Just shows how equal our business is.

Mine is considered the second biggest round in the office.
Others that do it hate it.

Start 06:30
Ips completed 07:10
Completed throwing out 07:50
Packets sorted 08:10
Break till 08:30
Bag up, loads van and leave the office 09:00

3-3.5hrs to deliver depending on how busy it is.

Back to office at 12-12:30

I can leave the office at 8ish on a Saturday so can finish even earlier
Hate to break it to you, but that office is going to get absolutely DECIMATED in a revision in the very near future. 1 out of every 3 deliveries will be removed. Enjoy what you have now, because it certainly isn't going to last forever!

You see everybody seems to have an opinion of whats going to happen with absolutely no substance. We had our full office revision 8 months ago.
It isn't an opinion, it is a fact. If there are deliveries in your office that are regularly finishing upwards of 2 hours per day before their finishing time then the PDA actuals will flag this up outwith your comfy little office and it will be targeted. That isn't a "might be" targeted, it is a cast iron certainty that it will be. It might not be as drastic as the outline of 1 in 3 deliveries being removed, but something WILL happen and you personally can expect to be found an additional 2 hours+ work per day!
Hahaha, we will see my friend we will see.

I know it is panto season but we don't need to have the whole page clogged up with
oh yes you will

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
