A new bit of equipment for park and loop

Post by celerycelery »

Along with the lwt this is what we will be carrying in our vans for a park and loop revision. All planners agree this will enable them to squeeze a little extra onto all deliveries.

If your input is continually ignored because it doesn't fit in with the (savings) agenda of the higher managers then it is understandable the average postie becomes disconnected and disenchanted with the whole revision process.
I'm on my third planner. They all began with a speech about how they were on the side of the delivery postie, how the revision wasn't savings driven and how they didn't care if it upset the DSM but...... :cuppa
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I got involved with the last revision at my office by giving the planner all the right info about terrain, flat categorisation etc.. After he had put all the correct info into the system the walks came out pretty accurate,I know what you're saying about savings but I've found that the planner has nothing to do with that and that they are there just to do the input into the systems (all the technical stuff) I cant speak for anyone else but the planner that did our revision was ok. He was honest and told us everything that was going on even stuff he knew we weren't going to like. I think its the senior managers that have the savings agendas not the planners. :neutral:

One of the many planners who f**ked up my office comes in almost every Saturday to do docket and some Sundays when we're really in the s**t. Luckily we've now had loads of part time staff join. Some walks have 4 loops taken off them that proves how much the planners f****d up and that was everyone putting the terrain/flats etc into the computer. Even with some loops taken off each walk a lot still arn't completing. So MT your theory is wrong :cuppa
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

Although i would always encourage members to try to get involved in the revision process the idea that a lack of staff involvement means that those members do not have the right to turn up to work to a reasonable,stable and manageable workload is nonsense.
Planners are paid to plan,managers are paid to manage and posties are paid to deliver the mail.
Staff involvement should ensure that the fine detail is right,streets run properly,overheads are correct and A+ is up to date but the overall responsibility for creating a working resource model for the office lies with management and planners.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
