A few questions for posties already doing dm26.

[Mr Rush]

I thought today was the day. Seven long weeks into DM26 and I've yet to be intimate with the third frame. As Wednesday is an extended day, we took the loops off the other pea in our pod... then brought it back (tracked got done, obviously). At this rate I think it'll be the other side of Christmas.

Very confusing today, though. It was a yellow day yesterday and it was yellow again. Monday was definitely blue because I was humming Blue Monday most of it. Before anyone suggests management forgot to flip the signs over, sequenced came in for every duty and some of us were explicitly told to do the yellow frame again. Alas, I'm unable to tell if this is another psyop to tip some over the edge (and many are teetering) or just general incompetence.

How can there be a decrease in workload when 3 people are now doing what 4 did before, the workload hasn't evaporated into thin air, it's just been managed differently to give the illusion that it is less. I think peoples fatigue levels show that it isn't less work.

Fatigues the big one all over the offices, hoodwinked with a few extra days.

Are they meant to throw ot ( ppl coming in early every morning) ? Thought that was a big no ? Staff throwing stuff in early unpaid too. Nothing changes ,

We’ve had some coming in early paid to do d2d’s and the usual early o/t ip, but yes, you still get the morons coming in early unpaid and start throwing their duty in.

Today was a blue day, so we chucked all the blue mail in the frame, left it all in & took the mail from the day before (containing first class) that we brought back Wednesday, so tomorrow when we chuck the yellow mail in the frame should be full, must admit I havent got a clue what I am doing

I brought most of my 2c back today but my plan tomorrow is to prep the other half of the duty and then deliver that half, then deliver today's 2c on Monday, otherwise you're a day out continually and the manager will be questioning why I'm leaving the day's prepped mail in the frame.

I doubt think the business have thought how to deal with any mail which isn't delivered!!

Neither have the managers

Today on the "light" part of the delivery (which should be "First Class & Parcels" according to the agreement) I wasted a whole bunch of time going up to the top floor of several blocks of flats with one DSA or second class letter which was the only mail for the entire block, and because of that I brought back tracked parcels. The reason? That second class and DSA mail "Had to be delivered today" according to RM.

There wasn't meant to be any! The contingency was DM26 working flawlessly.

They’d have to spend more than five minutes planning it for an office to be okay but sadly, the managers clumping walks together in pods, haven’t done a walk this side of the 2012 Olympics.

Everything has a honeymoon period. Then the little things start to kick in. The niggles and the foibles. Next thing it all starts to fall apart. Walsh is already attacking the non members because they won't join. Walsh is already threatening franchising.
