But of course Dim will say office is clear.
Only two Yorks? That would be a sight to see in our office, as there's normally at least twice that amount. I counted about 15 when we left this morning, still it is Xmas pressure, and "we (do) love parcels". So much so that we want to keep them close to us for fear of not seeing them again to give them all the love they want...!

Yes, indeed. Why leave a mailing campaign so late into the christmas pressure? I am sure the marketing team know what they are doing :cuppa

:chuckle 2 yorks just for our pair were left Fri/Sat and delivered on Monday. We threw out 2 full yorks again today just for our 2 walks.

Even the mail failed in our office today never mind packets.

Lying about the state of the office is a serious matter for a manager.
Accusing your manager in a public forum (without evidence of what he has or hasn't done) is also a serious matter.

I believe we already have one member suspended for something similar.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Yes, that was clever of RM, a piece of red junk mail nationwide on a sodding Wednesday, the busiest day. As for the Yorks full of parcels, don't you chaps go out on Docket in a van after your round and deliver them, or those Yorks may have been for the Xmas parcel drivers?

The "We Love Parcels" letters came to late for the IPS so didn't go out. I suggested the DIM send them back to the Mail Centre for mech sorting. On return to the office they were still there unsorted, perhaps our two guys on nights will do them! :crazy:

Surely this is a con. People pay more for first class so that items get there the next day, and little do they know their parcel is still sat waiting in a DO for the next day. I would think twice about sending something first class in the future.

We left 3 yorks of packets (including tracked) and just took out special deliveries. Still ended up cutting off and bringing a couple bags back!
As for the I Love Parcels mailing we were instructed to do them over 2 days! Sod that....we were going every house anyway so we took them out! :Very Happy
