The "How was your day" thread.

Evidently, it wasn't 'forecast', as confirmed by our traffic figures for today on the board. It was almost equal to the busiest days before Christmas. I mean, just how can they not see that coming (or accurately document it in the 'figures')? Oh well, as long as we getting paid for it....

Lapsing back with us as well,very busy week so some is getting left.What happens is when we go out managers take left lapsing out of frame and then night staff prep it back in again for the next day........it gets left again and the same thing happens.

Mmmm,I wonder what Alan Sugar would make of that business model?

They already know surely they must?

Just got a message from my P & L partner. I have had a few days off on hols and all the mec from Saturday has been left, so yet again after a break I go back in to someone elses leftovers. This happens every time I am off so the USO fails everytime I am off. Do they care? Doesn't look like it!

Yes the office managers know, theyre also good at not reporting it and covering it up. If they reported it accurately they would be in big trouble.

2hrs extended delivery, and customers in expensive houses but are too cheap to fit a doorbell, then complain when you knock the door too loud.... Sorry, but how was i to know you had a sleeping babby?

Or a door knocker, and in one case even a letterbox!
Only fitted a stupid wall box hidden round the side after 6 Months when I started killing off stuff and then had a go at ME about it!

At least I can now deliver Postcards to them.....nothing else fits.

As long as you had the correct footwear on and were using the correct delivery methods you will be fine.

However, if you haven't served 12 months yet you won't get sick pay, only SSP.

Another day in the life of a reserve.

Work 5 hours a day.

walk log reckons the walk takes 4:30 minutes
10 mins doing redirections
Another 25 mins bundling and sorting packets
15 min walk to first del point
30 minute break
And 13 min walk back to the office from last delivery point .

Not taking into account the influx of packets since these walks were last tested.

Dom seems surprised when I brought bundles back ???????

TWAT!!!!!!
