flat sorting
Quick question do you stand or sit while sorting flats at the flat fitting?

Re: flat sorting
I sit when sorting flats or letters. We have the new super duper backless frames. When you are sitting and have a bench full of mail the bottom slots are covered and the top ones are out of reach. It doesn't half slow you down.

Re: flat sorting
I always sit when sorting flats. Why stand as we spend long enough on our feet.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: flat sorting
I can't find it but I am sure Fishtank posted some WCM crap about how much space was needed for the porter to be able to pass a tray of mail to the seated sorter.happymackem wrote:Not in our office for some reason!!!
If it is in the WCM stuff, it must be correct.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
