I thought the world was ending tomorrow. If it isn't I can see a very bad day ahead, it always is over Easter bank holidays. Still Friday should be good.

....... Tuesday, 4 underweight bags and finished well within my time - Wednesday 1:45 hours over with 8 bags. Tuesday was within time despite WTL, a fire drill and having to queue whilst our bag weighing was checked for a health and safety exercise, Wednesday was over because of a huge workload and being on the IPS 'til nine oclock.

Surely the answer to disparities like this is in streaming and distribution and not flexing a workforce so that it doesn't really know what to expect from one day to the other. Only first class mail should go through regardless - everything else and particularly DSA (with no apparent priority marking) should be streamed to suit the delivery service of the business instead of sending postmen to bed after work exhausted and disillusioned about the ability of it's management to organise a piss up in a brewery.

Seemed quieter today. It's been really heavy since last Friday.
The super dooper computerised packet sorting machines at HWDC http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/forum/vi ... ight=#9985
broke down last Friday, and artic after artic of mail has been sent to us
over the last few days.
MC has been bursting at the seams for the last few days - haven't seen it
so full since the strikes last year.

Good job they've got us mere humans as backup.

Problem may not be local management or even middle management. Its AL and AC who seem to be making Royal Mail a cash cow for the DSA operators and jump at every whim and demand of those same self "competitors"
