CSS Operator told to do delivery

Got a question for a CWU Rep? And all CWU related matters.

I'm curious if this has actually gone ahead. Today we were absolutely flooded with mail. Apparently the instruction was to push everything out in to DOs today to make tomorrow lighter and easier to clear up.

Nope doesn't make a lot of sense to me either

but with the context of the original post added in it might suggest that machines are planned to be shut down tonight for whatever hair-brained idea some very well paid individual has had

I wonder if the work that them machines would normally run will just get sent to the relevant DOs as manual. The MC workplan will likely be based on the CSS staff working in other work areas (likely Tracked and non-Tracked packets) when they aren't either running batches that are proper to their MC or TPM'ing the machines

Well it's 0840 and I'm on my break. Virtually no IPS to do this morning only one tray of seqenced. I'm tied up, and HTC is only 3/4 full. Getting out a well over an hour earlier and actually stand a chance of completing
