Is Set Duty Structures Finished With DM26

Post by gb93 »

Is Set workload a thing of the past with DM26.
Meaning even if you do all your duty or duties if other posties haven't you will be given extra work to do ad-hoc on a daily basis
This ain't no baseball game, you get only one chance and you blew it.

Working the hours you are paid for has been policy for years. DM26 will fill your day, every day.

In theory nobody will ever complete their duty as 50% of the 2c post will be held back by the MC.

Dont forget that as well as a vanshare doing 1 heavy all products duty, 1 'light' tracked/1st class only duty and a couple of rows off a 3rd duty they will likely lapse /absorb other duties on top of that too when the inevitable sickness and sayonoras begin :crazy:

''if you arent going to get it all done, just leave the mail on the bottom row of your heavy duty and take the tracked and 1st off the lapsing/absorption duty please''

We all know this will happen.
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Only the mech will be held back, the trays of 2C manual letters and flats will still be sent to the DOs. You'll still need to put them through the IPS frames to extract the 2C for any walks where it's the 2C day for them.
