And what the hell even is a "People Officer" anyway?

Personnel > Human Resources > People Officer

No doubt with a good payrise/package with each fancy name change of the same role.

Technical Workforce And Team Specialist

Technical Workforce And Team Specialist

Yes, sindba!

Senior Head for Inclusivity and Transformation.

[Woody Guthrie]

Chief Happiness Officer.
I didn't make that up.
It's a real thing.

[CamPostie]

Fantastic, they must be planning on employing loads of people to fill in all the gaps so we don’t need to do lapsing!

you are stealing the diamonds from the cufflinks of our poor shareholders next thing you will be suggesting a fair no strings pay deal and that's pure Bolshevism

Well this is the secret stupidity of their own plans…

because for this sort of thing to work, alongside things such as dedicated parcel routes and Sunday parcel delivery they’re clearly going to need a lot more staff on the books…

…which is going to require paying a competitive wage.

[Fannybaws]

Mmmmm looks like OPG's will walk in to their DO and get told that the computer says they have 5 hours of delivery that day and this is how they've to do it. No if's no but's the computer said.

Starting to smell a lot like Amazon deliveries.

Which is fine but what happens after the 5 hours if you've still got, say, 10% of your round undelivered, I can't see anybody is going to complete their round in their own time.

Although how's a computer going to calculate what Met post, hand sorted post and Tracked and non Tracked packets and parcels is due to be delivered on each round?

My gut feeling is that fixed walks will go in the long term with bits getting added or taken off daily

So show us how that would work?
You don't know what's coming in the door until it practically comes in the door and traffic forecasting is next to useless so...

How do you resource that?
Who resources that?

Anyone who has worked in a delivery office would know It is completely impractical to manage and would be incredibly inefficient and ineffective so as a third question..

Just why?

As more and more stuff gets sorted by machines then RM will know more and more of what DPs are getting what items. It's fairly obvious that it's one of their long term aims as there's no other reason for the destination address to be encoded into the 2D barcodes

[Woody Guthrie]

You're missing the point.
Even in that scenario...
You won't know that until you run the machines.
You can't resource an office at 3am for that day.
Are you going to text people at 4am and tell them not to bother coming in?

No different to how it is for casuals

RM would just use some sort of variant of the DTS software. The DTS software has processed the data from the iLSMs, IMPs and T2K machines on what DPs have got mail by about midnight

Hang on, your forever telling us most of our stuff will be coming in “manual”. Make your mind up.

So now in your "gut feeling" we're also all on zero hours contracts?

Personally I'd go see a doctor mate.

If we're all on zero hours contracts you wouldn't bother with all the hassle of building dynamic walks because you would only pay the employees for the hours they worked.

Doesn't matter how many staff you have in then or how long a duty takes in that scenario does it?

The introduction of auto redelivery absolutely destroys any ability to bank hours in summer to use in winter. Add say 10-15% of previous days parcels on to your existing workload and see how much time you can make!
