Let them worry about it then - do what you can and work your hours
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

I sympathize with you 100% . Everyone is different. I have a set way of working and an environment that suits me. I can't stand chaos and untidiness. Some people would be happy living and working in a pigsty. It's just the way I am. The managers probably don't give a F@@@ because chances are they've never done a delivery in their lives , and can't relate to other people's needs and emotions.... that's why they become managers in the first place. Thick as mud and I'm guessing very overweight 😆 good luck

At least you've got frames, a few DOs now, based on forum posts have had all their frames removed!

Our revision went in over a year ago and it's been a total f**k up ever since, people leaving every week, walks to big , don't get out to gone 10 everyday. A lot of people just don't give a s**t anymore the managers don't give a f**k so we don't either work to time bring it back let them worry about it because I for one couldn't give a toss about it anymore life's too short to worry about the s**t show Thompson and his cronies have created

And they wonder why they are losing millions a day ? Better to give up totally than the idiots who come in an hour early and work for nothing and then sign for Specials to try and complete impossible jobs.

Could always prep 2 walk frame with my eyes shut, now total shambles. As with others, no room to breathe, pkts used to be tidy organised - just a mess. Double slots on mine (911 houses) whilst the other frame (600) has single slots mainly, this happens when management do the changes, no CWU/staff involvement, no idea of the frames or actual roads. Yawn show me the data again for a laugh 😂 Let them get on with it and get their blood money, I think it'll backfire soon.
