Busiest Day so far

Post by eric the viking »

Busiest Day so far in our depot. Loads of parcels not even attempted and numbers expected to rise in the next few days. How are other depots coping? :shock:

Really poor Christmas in our office so far. Unless it picks up soon RM's 2% annual profit will be -2% very soon

Parcels peaked Wednesday for us, Christmas cards Friday.

Bloody hell it's all gone Pete Tong, I've never seen so many parcels in my depot.

I took it all out and did my best and then brought it all back! :Very Happy

Don't forget to take your breaks..there is plenty of extra resource in the depots to allow everyone to take their LEGALLY entitled breaks,,and if you work time over your contracted hours MAKE SURE you claim overtime and MAKE SURE they pay you. its a battle out there,,stay safe.,and never forget,,ALL REDELIVERIES MUST BE DELIVERED ON THE DAY OF REDELIVERY..
