Yep today was mad and if today was a sign of the Christmas to come then god help us. It’s about time the union came out and said something now the silence on all the issues they are discussing is f***ing disgraceful. If I see one more video of Dave ward in his bunker talking about how he understands how hard it is out there I’ll bloody scream.

Unfortunately with so many people being out of work or out of work once the furlough ends, RM would have a very long queue of people willing to take your job

Yes let's get a shelf stacker and put him on a walk with 1200 calls and expect him to make no missorts and finish in time

Yeah plenty of people want our jobs but many not capable

Absolutely shite day. Packets are at Black Friday levels already, and to top it off an agency worker prepped my frame which is nearly all double slots, and flipped the letters on the back slot the opposite way around. Didn’t notice until I got out on delivery, f***ing nightmare to say the least.

Crap day here also. Left 2 loops behind as I had 2 York’s worth of parcels, still didn’t get back till just after 3.

The usual Xmas equipment shortages have started early. Probably the larger MCs hoarding equipment

Packets maybe, but you can't be right about the mail. Remember, we don't get mail any more!

What would make someone do that? I mean it would take twice as long to prep. Who the hell told em to do that?

They'll have a plan for Christmas right? They must have a plan. They always have a plan! We'll go home on time (aka early) and you can stay out into the night. That's the normal plan.
