The reason he told me was, he had five households and was taking them home to door up to save him time on the Monday morning as he's expected to sort two trays of sequence mail and five households in 15 mins ! Got me wondering is this happening nationwide ? I know it's not allowed but are postmen under that amount of pressure through excessive households they have to resort to these sort of sackable tactics

Households at home ( Be Honest)
Was entering my depot last Saturday and found my college had all his households for the following week stacked in a York

Is this a wind up mate?
Why would anyone take door to doors home?

Re: Households at home ( Be Honest)
Why the hell would you take D2D's home as you could be later out on delivery and cut off sooner.
By making his round achievable if he takes his 5 D2D's home will only make the management give him more work.
The guy is a pr*tt
email Moya and see what she thinks

Re: Households at home ( Be Honest)
Used to happen regularly at my office.
When the d2d for the following week came in the runners/numpties would descend on the yorks like vultures to find their boxes to take home to put them all together.
One or two even went out with their missus and kids ON A SUNDAY to deliver them.
Mind you, I used to laugh when one or two d2d's came in late sometimes and they had to take them out.
You should have seen their faces.

People used to do it when we got paid for them which I can understand a bit plus it was job and knock. Anyone who does it now is just an idiot.

I wonder how many even come back to the office?
Also, nesting isn't allowed so you should pull them all out!

Re: Households at home ( Be Honest)
I thought they were going to be 'nested' for us in an envelope in the not to distant future,surely that's what the union told us so we'd give up being paid for them like we were.Is that not on the cards nowHitcher wrote:I wonder how many even come back to the office?

Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Re: Households at home ( Be Honest)
in the not so distant past last year we were a trial office for nested d2ds the trial was supposed to last 12 weeks but suddenly stopped after about 6 or 7 we asked the managers why they said the union had stopped it because it was saving us to much time. Not heard anything about it since

Where on earth was the manager when this was happening? Surely the manager is as much to blame for allowing this as the dipstick doing it. Ask moya if this is allowed.Sonofsuggs wrote:Was entering my depot last Saturday and found my college had all his households for the following week stacked in a York

After delivery on a Saturday? Where do you think the manager was, he'd have been home 3 hours earlier.celerycelery wrote:Where on earth was the manager when this was happening?

A couple of weeks ago I walked in on a Monday morning, a few early starters had prepped all their D2D then another lot came in. I didn't snigger much

Re: Households at home ( Be Honest)
Very dodgy ground if they are doing that. Rm would see that in the same light as if you took mail home.
