Walk sorted trays always wrong

Post by eastie »

Is it just my office but mostly on a monday but other days as well all the walksorted trays are marked up wrong.
Do the workers at the mailcentres not know English or do they just do it on purpose?

I wonder if that is something to do with the MIST system, perhaps RM are going to make all offices scan out every box instead of using dummy box bar codes

It used to happen over here but it was stopped, don't know why we always have to make things easy for the MC staff..............it could be because they need their extra long breaks.

I was told it was to make it easier for the MC drivers to check whats on a yorkie
obviously to the detriment of the DOs

well this was my argument
its pointless
it also means when you are unloading yorks you have to manhandle trays round to read the labels
its like the buddy trays
we got trays between 2 duties because its "easier"
then its became between 3 duties (in our DO some arent even in the same row!
how is that easier?
