Resign

So if this mess happens, do you end up signing for 2 dutys instead of one ? Less jobs to sign for

Are you not on P&L? We're already on 2 duties!!!

All the duties go up, all get signed for.

WHEN this mess happens, 3 people will be signing up for 4 duties, so yes, there will be less duties available to sign up to.

I wondered about that, obv you can sign for a singleton, and as it is now you sort of sign for a duty if it's p&l despite it being a pair of duties but under the new system you'd be signing for a set of four duties along with two other people, or would they eventually class it as three people signing for one duty and you deliver half of it alternate days/half alternate days parcels etc.

Apparently only firms will be singletons in ours, we haven’t any rurals. So they will be putting some duties back in, annoying as I’m enjoying my single duty.

It's going to be a shambles, I can't get my head around how it's going to work. Less duties to sign for, at least 1 (probably 2) drivers required for each group of 3 will mean some very long service people in our office will basically become rest day/week cover.

They’ll end up mopping up duties that will fail, as there won’t be enough time to deliver 2 or 3 days mail, tracked,oversized, reggios etc, on the two duties where everything goes out. That’s my guess anyway. Shambles.

One person goes off and the whole thing falls apart, going to make it even harder to get days off

[Perseus]

We've been told it will be persons A B and C covering duties 1,2,3 and 4. And so on.

Question is, what if person C doesn't drive as per their contract and they are scheduled to work a Saturday as a van assist - surely all 3 people would need to be in then? Person A doing packets on 1 and 2, with B and C doing packets on 3 and 4. Are we just going to magic another member of staff up?

It's going to be a resign where your choice of duty is going to rely on your ability to drive not on your seniority

One person goes sick and it will be down to 2 people to cover 4 duties, parcels only. Been happening like that all over for years.

Our DOM reckons the non drivers, when in on some Saturdays, will be putting d2d’s in- the words used were “tough, drive then!” for any non drivers who’ll moan. TBH a nice easy day for them,it’ll drag though.

Yes pretty much like that now. One park and loop guy goes sick other guy does tracked both sides and maybe a loop or two of mail if time
