Yep, they are just lumbering us with all this crap, and now with the parcel force larger collections and the locker drop offs it's just to much.. Must be easier less stressful ways to make near enough minimum wage jobs out there!

1C and 2C are sent to DOs in separate trays. Your DO must be mixing them together on the IPS

Tracked are through the roof. Fishing round for first class kills too much time. We need a reasonable solution.

You really have to laugh. While it's a given management will never put it in writing, I didn't think even just saying what everyone knows would be like pulling teeth.

Lengthy debate ensues again. Though I have altered the words, the spirit of the exchange remains the same:

>If it's between a Tracked packet and a 1st Class letter, what takes precedence?
>>[long pause] The Tracked then the letter... in Minecraft.
The machine stops.

So this highlights another point/issue.

If a 2nd class letter and Tracked 48 both arrive in the office on the same day, if the 2nd class letter can 'wait' for an all items day (or whatever they're calling it) can the Tracked 48 too ?

In theory yes but the manager’s bonus won’t be so nice if tracked 48 sit about for a day or two :crazy:
