After reading that - I have no idea how this benefits me as a postman.

So instead of individual frames we will have one continuous frame with double slots. For Royal Mail this creates more space in the office for parcels - ok....

What does it do to help me? - it looks like it hinders me...

- Double slotting is ridiculous.

- Working closer to colleagues is going to encourage chatting = people working slower. We're more likely to catch a cold etc working closer together.

I don't understand this whole 'workload will become fairer' narrative. How does this result from sticking the frames next to each other? Royal Mail cannot make workloads fair for love nor money in our office.

I know, it's bleak I'm dreading it rearing it's ugly head, I think the concept of fairness is based on management allocating equal amounts of work from the continuous frame on a daily basis dependant on traffic levels, sounds good eh ! But f**k me come on good luck with that one.

I've heard it trotted out at every revision which makes me wonder why I should believe it this time. Is this conventional deception or a bold-face lie meant to communicate contempt?

Long term, will there even be fixed sections? In recent weeks we've started scanning every packet that's got a valid barcode, a few like the RNIB and the foreign don't, but I think it's only a matter of time that they do. Mech mail the system can keep a list of what's going where. Some MCs have got flat sorting machines. That's a lot of data that RM have access to already.

Only needs RM to find a way to machine sort flats and letters together or find a suitable smaller flat sorting machine for MCs that can't fit a T2K machine in and then they'll just about know what each walk has got each day.

At the very least I think "dynamic lapsing" will get brought in eventually where the system will look at the data, decide which bits will be lapsed and who/which walk will take what lapsed bits out

Are people keeping their paired duties with this 2.0 thingy? I cant see what the benefits are?

If it benefited you as a postman then Royal Mail would scrap the idea immediately. Like so many other things they try. If this Mr Kretinsky does buy this outfit the first thing he should do is sack 90% of the managers and 100% of the people responsible for stupid ideas like this.

From what I’ve seen and heard , it’s a complete and utter disaster.

From my own point of view , the delivery I’m on , we only take one delivery per day it’s that bad and that’s repeated across the section of the office I’m on and no delivery would get completed without those that do overtime.

How tf does 2.0 resolve that in any way at all ?
