Re: Manage Your Prep..!!!
i ask the question then, loads of mail still in office and a manager said today that it wasn't their job to take it, customers could well be waiting for something, this should be going to national press now.

We've been told all week to start tying up at 8.30 they want us out the door by 10. We have our break 9 till 9.40. Loads of mail being left behind 
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Re: Manage Your Prep..!!!
On the presumption you and collegues are on an 8-hour daily contract, why are you and your workmates taking their whole meal relief allowance way before anything like half way through your working day? You should be taking 20 minutes around four hours into your shift... Or are you all starting at 0500?Stormproof wrote:We've been told all week to start tying up at 8.30 they want us out the door by 10. We have our break 9 till 9.40. Loads of mail being left behind

We used to be 20+20 but since P & L we have the full meal relief before we go out and tbh we are loving it and a lot less stressed out
and this thread is not about meal relief

Re: Manage Your Prep..!!!
In our office, some of the 'less gifted' posties are getting chased by managers quoting prep times from the indoor working tool. I've noticed this week that my colleagues are being told when to go for their break (usually 0930). They leave us firms deliveries alone to get on.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 42&t=37811" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;It has been brought to the attention of the Outdoor Dept that Royal Mail managers are attempting to use an unagreed performance tool to measure the performance of individuals. They are stating that this tool/approach has been agreed with the CWU which is completely untrue.
Our understanding is that they are extracting information from the IWT (which is an agreed tool) to determine what the throughputs (IPS/Prep) should be on an individual basis. However the IWT is a tool to measure office/unit performance not individual performance and there has been no discussion with the CWU at national level at all on this unagreed approach. The only agreement that exists between the CWU and Royal Mail on the subject of individual performance is the Individual Performance Standards Agreement and no other.
