The delivery's in our office are a mixed bag we have F/T duties that have been turned over to P/T,those duties fail everyday because the staff come in and the walks are not finished being thrown off because in the real world they are not P/T duties.
Royal Fail are chasing a dream that is not ours to have you see the delivery model that the sad senior management hanker after is not applicable in this country because the good old English postal system excepts any shape or size so in real terms it can not machine everything,unlike our European counterparts,so this means that we spend longer on IPS and have to then prep over sized walks,unlike our European friend, the more we eat into our duty hours indoors the less we have outside,not rocket science i hear you say,so the answer to that is we will take more people of the IPS because then we will have the staff to sort the new P/T walks,great on paper but in the real world we all have less time because every thing has a price,this in it's self then causes us to spend time we have not got to use so the time has to be added on at the end which clearly shows we have never had 3.5 delivery spans in our office we have always been out for over 4hours so if they want to add any more on then the few walks that are not blowing out will be because even the best get fed up with doing O/T everyday which is what is happening in our office.
The only good bit of sense i have heard out of our DIM's mouth is that he is sceptical that we will have vans and trolleys to replace all the bikes as we have not got enough vans now and have been told clear as the sky out side we don't have the money!
