Moving on swiftly,why the feck would you agree to 5+ hrs outside.
Well its a bit like this..........you have an 8 hour day, you can only manage to cobble 2.5 hours indoor work, which leaves 5.5 hours to be filled, now not having snooker tables and canteens to spend time in, it's spent outdoors on delivery..................now it would be either that OR lose full time jobs OR take buy down, OR and I have never seen it in deliveries VR.............which is really facing the reality of matching the workforce to the workload but I'm sure that will soon become more apparent.
40 mins break inside and travelling time back and forth.
We've had this before as well haven't we. :silenced

I was going to mention whatnots as well but...
Well there are none so blind as those who cannot see. Even travelling time in and out is outdoor work. Having whatnots has nothing to do with the reality of the workload on indoor and outdoor capacity. It looks as though this time RM are determined to have every hour that is paid is worked.
Not blind DV,lots of changes at my place,the 2 hr walks are gone. :sad:
On an 8hr day,i aint doing 5.5hrs outside i tells ya.
Funny tho,we've too much indoor work now,we can't cope. :d'oh!
Well have you had the sequenced mail yet, and the DM revision with geo route? On an 8 hour day 5.5 would be extreme admittedly but 4 hrs 40 minutes is quite doable according to the planners. What you must understand is geo route comes up with the timings using the AGREED formula applied by the planners.................what you have to do is PROVE it is wrong, hence the emphasis on indoor and outdoor work.

Now it is mostly an unknown quantity because the delivery routes change because of P&L and so it is quite difficult to default the planners work in addition to which the tracked and all parcels and packets are to be delivered and one of the loopers starts later, whilst the other double preps, and its his job to deliver the large parcels for the HCT deliveries.................................lifes a bitch etc.
