I don't think I have seen such an unhappy and demotivated workforce.
If they want a successful Christmas then they need to provide adequate resources.
Insufficient resources will lead to failures.
No amount of tacky badges, no amount of useless prizes, no pep talks, no guilt tripping and no being spoken to like we are at primary school will make up for the resources to deliver Christmas.
Christmas is supposed to be a joyful time. It is unending drudgery.
Morale is on the floor.
’You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.’
Challenging day after no letters going out yesterday (my day off). Achieved 8 double loops and 3 treble loops to get back to a clear frame. Tomorrow is the other sides turn, with 12 double loops to attempt.
I hope everyone is okay and doing there best out there.
It certainly felt like unending drudgery today, the latest time I’ve ever got out, didn’t take anywhere near all of the mail and still over by just over an hour. Tons of mail left in trays to sort for the walks tomorrow under the ip frames.
Another busy day on the CSS, looks like it's going to be around 2 trays per walk every day now till the end of Xmas Pressure. The amount of rejects is going up now that the batches are made up of a higher % of Xmas cards.
Pretty light today. I didn't have a count on how many parcels we had but felt like half of what we had yesterday.
Lucky git, my duty dropped from 110 to 99!! Although I did actually managed to deliver a loop of mail, but then got questioned by a customer why he wasn't getting daily deliveries, customers seem oblivious to just how bad RM is being run.

Lastly, we need to sort out these lorries, today we had 100+ staff waiting over 40 mins for the last lorry, and everyone was held back.
Probably having to wait for a lorry to get back from another run. Currently at the start of the night shift there's enough mail and packets for some DOs to have 2 or 3 full runs. If a DO is an hour away from the MC then that's 6 hours spoken for already, then you've got the driver's breaks on top of that.
Agency everywhere but not enough vans and not enough PDAs so they're stood about until our shift is done. Remember when we delivered the letters and you didn't need a bloody van or a scanner?

Yep, that's when we were posties, the job we actually signed up for, now days we're 90% parcel delivery couriers, 100% some days!
