Plenty of the usual RM BS at the worktime learning.
That's stupid, even for a line manager. The side doors are inappropriate for that really.

Isn't it also against the principles of P&L - IIRC the video showing the most efficient method is one loading the trolley from the back and one from the side.

Having done P&L I'd say bollocks to that, you can't fit the amount of post/packets and trolly in to get them out if you do (I suppose it works if you only get 20 attendance calls it might work but with 80/90 it does fail miserably) . Both need to be loaded in the back and use the side for bulk packets..............still doesn't help when your returns are piled up and falling over the live packets which means spending 5 minutes everytime you stop sorting them out.

I would say that most vans side loading are on the left side of the van, so that would mean, it would be safe to reload the postie in the road.

So if I were your manager I would be looking for a new job.

Emergency call to come in earlier, sickness cover. Did 3/4 of a round, others did the rest. Just wondering how it takes 5 hrs to do the round, when 3/4 takes just over 2.

Awful end to an awful week.
Monday now looming large before us, too soon it seems, and so it begins again, a long hard, torturous week working for some of the vilest people in the Western world.

Lovely day with the misses today
Looking forward to a lighter duty next week.
No stairs/hills
Lack of nutter dogs/customers
Even off on Thurs the heaviest day
Sounds too good to be true
Its all going to go horrible wrong

Management don't see all those extra packets because the planners have told them
