Universal Service Comms

If there is a resign and duties 1-5 go to the most senior 5 staff, if/when postie 2 leaves after 2 months the duty would go to a reserve, possibly a new entrant. That's always been the case.

Shouldn't the walk be put on the board and then the same process, longest service gets priority.

Not that soon after a resign. You sign for a duty, you can't take another one for a period of 1 year.

Of course I missed the resign significance, it's been so long since we had one

Vacant duties go up collectively when they reach a certain percentage threshold, IIRC. Historically that meant waiting quite a while when the job was far less of a revolving door.

Our vacant duty signing last year was long overdue and covered a full third of the office, which I'm sure is so high it should actually have triggered a full office pick.

The whole resign/repick/vacant duty system is outdated.

I mean, duty holders can exempt themselves from any repick if there hasn't been any major change to their own duty, which is a green light for people to make sure nothing ever changes for them. Obviously, i'm not talking about ring fenced duties etc.
