Couldn’t make it up.
Another day dying in heat abandoned by our so-called Union. Get back to office, the planner who’s there to make me walk even f***ing longer, is in office practising on his f***ing electric guitar.

Might be practising "Highway to Hell" Could it be the official soundtrack for DM26?
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

And I see it needs clearing
Still my guitar gently weeps
The machine stops.

Re: Couldn’t make it up.
What do you seriously expect any union to do, tell It's members to just take the summer off until temperatures cool down again in September? Given it's not a red weather alert there's not much any union can do about it anyway.Timetomoveon wrote: ↑08 Jul 2026, 14:45Another day dying in heat abandoned by our so-called Union.

Re: Couldn’t make it up.
Based on recent summers these heat waves have become part of the new normal they promised us during COVID. Along with disgraceful fuel prices, hyper food inflation, ever more absurd politics etc.
Anyway, that makes the problem hard to address from all sides. Only earlier starting would be a fix but that's not realistic. So what else can be done? I cannot think of much.

Indeed, the only option is later starts. So late it's the next AM.
The machine stops.

Re: Couldn’t make it up.
Just hate walking in now to the same s**t every day.Morale is lower than its ever been and face a frame full of mail and close to 200 drops on most days.Manager is useless and is constantly ignoring the problems that need addressing and is sweeping it under the carpet.Not enough vans,pda’s and staff resigning.Constant customer complaints to top it off.I know im speaking for a lot of offices here,probably most.

Might be worth reporting this via the confidential hot line, but he will probably say he was having his breakTimetomoveon wrote: ↑08 Jul 2026, 14:45Another day dying in heat abandoned by our so-called Union.

Re: Couldn’t make it up.
Earlier starts may have to become the norm in summer, as trying to deliver mail in the heat of the afternoon sum is madness. I doubt they do it in Spain or the South of France?funkflex55 wrote: ↑08 Jul 2026, 23:00Based on recent summers these heat waves have become part of the new normal they promised us during COVID.

Re: Couldn’t make it up.
Wake me up when September ends.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
