Doesn't the office have to be fully staffed before you start DM26?

With so many DOs going over early, I think it's only a matter of time before RM bring the deadline for all DOs forward by a long way, probably the end of August at the latest.

If 1 of those 3 is agency ur buggered if 1 of those 3 is part time ur buggered, if 1 of those is ring fenced ur buggered and if anyone goes sick ur buggered……..job remains a gift if ur a deep rural office where the manager is postie, PHG and COM all in one and u do 40 packets a day, the rest of us are doomed for catastrophic failure

Basically if you are a shared van or single driver in the 'pod' , you are going to get hammered and expected to do 25% more work for nothing in return - wait until you see the finish times....

edit, it's actually 33% more..
