Morning folks, sorry to derail the topic, it's just i know there are lots of UK posters on this board.
I'm working for Britain's oldest delivery service again.
It's a warning about any parcels you may order in the run up to the Christmas holidays, the sorting office is carnage, letters mixed in with parcels, stuff all over the floor getting booted into other people's zones.
I had a letter stuck to the side of a parcel that I only spotted when I was out on the round, i would have delivered it but I am tracked and the letter was miles away, i'm only supposed to have parcels.
My training day when I went out with a bloke who has done 18 years and he said recent changes have made the job nigh on impossible not to make bad decisions.
I had a training video at the induction which said you must never use a recycle bin as a safe place, 75% of the parcels on my training day went into a recycle bin.
The managers are just saying get the parcels delivered! if nobody answers i have been trying neighbours and had a house where the neighbours on both sides said no, he's a twat, i got daggers when I took the parcel back to the depot (I was on a notorious estate) with no safe place other than a bin, the training video was my fall back excuse.
Anyway the message guys is get yourself registered on the RM app and input a safe place, maybe get yourself a plastic box for parcels and try and leave it out of sight if possible, it's a case of delivered at all cost, do not return with parcels, from management.
I work the afternoon shift and have been told to stop delivering at 9pm, but try and finish for 8pm, so expect any deliveries up to those times.
It's going to get messy with parcel deliveries up to Christmas, just a heads up.
As you were
