Edited out of paranoia! Seen quoted anything I said was fiction.

So had to take the mail in my own car with them in it.

You're probably lucky the police didn't pull you over, never carry any mail in your own car. You need a very specific class of car insurance to do so

Your office sounds a joy. Have you ever been thanked for the work you have done?

Genuine question. Have you?

Yes. Especially when it has been awful.

[Barnacle]

Yes I’m a delivery postie.

You had an awful day? I hope a thanks does it for you.
Don't forget we pay you a quid above minimum wage to work whatever shifts we tell you between 7am and 7pm 7 days a week x You lucky bastard!

You’re confusing me with someone easily pleased.

Sometimes a simple ‘Thank you’, wouldn’t go amiss rather than the constant on your back approach. Is it enough? No, of course it isn’t but it’s nice when one of our leaders remembers to say it.

All this talk of being thanked! In our office I could probably work at 27 hour day whilst clearing every duty in there and still not get a thanks. In fact they would probably just expect that I then did that every day. Gratitude is not something this company shows.

The managers at my DO regularly say thank you and show their appreciation in differing ways. Good manners and goodwill get a lot done.

Same here, can’t understand why managers wouldn’t show their appreciation, it would get more done.

Parcel duty on 2 walks. Had over 90 tracked + normal + specials

Was back by 3pm.

Happy days

The last lorry as a result of the Network Review/Realignment is only meant to have about a dozen yorks on it/Well that didn't last long, full up double stacker with 90 odd yorks is what we keep getting. It seems to be getting later as well and it's the "low season". If we end up getting a second lorry to join that one in the autumn, then making the dispatches to the DOs later will certainly be on the cards.

Just waiting for the 2C to be really busy as well as the inward. They axed out later 2C run to the RDCs so if it comes down to it, nights will probably have to give priority to the 2C and send more stuff on wave 2 or even send the lorries out later some days

my 8th day since rejoining and def the worst, 2.5 yorks of oversize, stacks of smaller tracked, didn't get out till nearly 10.. We left one walk as usual, the regular postie with me said one of the worse days for parcels in a long time.. Was fed up of scanning and taking pics.. Ended up 30mins past our fin time.. The job is definitely 100% harder than my last stint as a postie, I'm 60 now and thinking it's to much at my age..
