recently we have been told we need to have all walks covered by part timers up and tied down for them
part timers originally came to our office when we dissolved the floating dutes(office savings)
and the agreement was walks up and part timers do heir own redirections and packets + tie down
now we are being told nobody leaves till the whole office is ready
secondly we have been told we have to do our own puggy(as we call it)
this is marking and splitting the condemned packets,letters,flats etc for RTS,RLB etc
this was done by PHG's
however one has moved up to manager and isnt being replaced,so we are as such losing a duty and absorbing this into the walks indoor hours
the word flexibility is being banded around by managers as a buzzword
on saturday the guys were on IPS beyond 0710 (i was putting up a part time walk so never noticed the time)
which was the agreed time under the new later start times(6 weekdays and 5 saturdays)
seemigly flexibility was used again
for me i would have walked off ips had i been up.the hours are set and going beyond 0710 cuts into prep/delivery time which is tight on saturdays anyway
we have had loads of managers in just now.our office covers 2 postcodes and is split with managers for each side,however they have now split each half.
footwalks are getting bigger and bigger packets,before we leave we have ot get a manager to check our frame,bag checks as you sign in etc
any advice/comments on this?
