USO Change Implementation

Post by norris9 »

So, when is each office switching to the new way of working?

How is it being decided when an office switches? Is there anything complex about it?, surely it can be done ASAP, if not, why not?

Anyone's office already switched already or about to?

There's 3 offices in our area going live in the next couple of weeks. Think a list is being produced from what I've heard.
RM want all offices done by end of October. Can't see any issues with that :shock:

Good question if you ask at our place the manager doesn't know

(which to be fair is the same answer to most questions)

For decades now we've had such a huge difference in workloads from one duty to another. Also a huge range of performance from one staff to the next, with these days many staff openly stating they are doing as little as possible, but with a flick of a switch we will all be thrown into this wonderful new way of working where the busiest duties get 33% more work and the easy numbers get to do 50% less than current. Royal Mail economics at its finest.

So with all these changes coming in, is there any provision for those folk who are on family friendly and those that met all the required criteria last year to be exempt from the later start times?

Any time people at our place ask the yellow hi viz wearers about this, all they get is 'we don't know as its out of our hands'.

any advice?

Parcels are what is keeping you in a job right now. The more, the better for job security. As for the mail, do what you can do within your time. If it sits in a frame for a year, who gives a bollocks

Many do.

DM26 collapses when 1 element of it fails, be it mail, staffing numbers or parcels. Wave goodbye to any better attendance patterns that were dangled to get the vote through.
