Re: counting mail must mean cuts!!!
And why did you do it?
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: counting mail must mean cuts!!!
Thank goodness I was't counting mail this weeks as Mon/Thur/Fri had 100% call rate Wed was quiet but with lapsing still went over and today was busy with sky and only 19 calls short of 100%. busiest week done for a while. Even with Christmas pressure never had 3 days in the same week at 100%
IF it ain't broke it soon will be if RM have their way

This is what they do in the States usually every February, then they announce jobs have to go or rounds merged.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Re: counting mail must mean cuts!!!
It could have been due to the interim agreement, after all I think that RM agreed to an "audit" of traffic figures......Maybe they were just checking your figures against the "official" figures they supply I started a thread about this here http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... =1&t=23682itllnottouchyou wrote:we had to count all our mail in our office this week and it was the lightest week weve had in a long time mail must of been down 50% easy the DOM says its nothing sinister his arse even sky mags arent in and you could set your callender by them a wonder wot they are gonna hit us with now?

Re: counting mail must mean cuts!!!
Really light in the MC's too,but saying that it always is this time of year...Good time for RM to audit though isnt it?They claim this as an "average" week,then budget the whole year from this weeks figures,thus justifying job cuts,or am i being cynical?wacko74 wrote:Same in our office... dom counting the mail all week and suprise, suprise its been the lightest week we've had in months.
same as it ever was...

We have been counting in our office too but this is apparently to do with the development of the Indoor Workload Tool. (IWT)
It wasn't total mail they were interested in as such, but the statistical variation between walks.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
