Everyone was expecting this to happen straight after the 1st lockdown except management.

Exceptional volumes of door to doors !

Double slots , 5 d2d’s ! Told they must go this week . All thrown in today. No room for Mail ! But at least the customers got there pizza and double glazing leaflets

Every single footsoldier could see this coming except all the idiot managers who are paid to plan and organise.

This is not our problem, it's an opportunity. If you want the money you have the chance to earn as much as you like. We have lads working 13 hour days and raking in the money. For those of us who don't want to work overtime, don't do it. Cut off. It's the managers problem. You don't get paid to worry about how it gets delivered, they do.
