Reason ,we start earlier and the mail isn t in any earlier we would be doing nothing but stand about and wait
And why get mail in early when it’s going later in march![]()
17th December, surely it's going to be busy the last week before Christmas?
rush over by the 17th? - doesn't make any commercial sense to me but I'm just a humble postie.

Re: Hoax or genuine?
Probably some bean counter worked for the year to be split equally into 3 thirds it had to start on the 4 September, not appreciating that the final week of December was one of our busiest, meaning the business will now have to pay o/t for that week rather than get staff to work for "free"".yellowbelly wrote: ↑27 Aug 2023, 17:41Understand that pie, my post was just referring to the week before Xmas - why stop on the 17th and not 23rd - is the pre-Xmaspieoftheday wrote: ↑27 Aug 2023, 12:20The hours have to even out over a 12month period so if they're going to push it back 8 weeks it will have to extend into February and so on?

I would have expected it to finish the week after that or maybe even the week after that because of the Boxing Day salesyellowbelly wrote: ↑27 Aug 2023, 17:41Understand that pie, my post was just referring to the week before Xmas - why stop on the 17th and not 23rd - is the pre-Xmaspieoftheday wrote: ↑27 Aug 2023, 12:20The hours have to even out over a 12month period so if they're going to push it back 8 weeks it will have to extend into February and so on?

The only difference is that managers have botched the revisions up and are still paid £42k+ plus to keep failing the mail and are taking absolutely ZERO accountability for it because it was 'what they were told to do'.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
