Walk testing

Post by ashadd »

Am i right in believing , that a manager from another office would test your walk and not anyone from your own office?
I married my wife for her looks, but not the one she gave me when i said i was going to be a postman.

We had our walks checked by a manager from another office, he did this on the GeoRoute system. My walk came out at 3 hours 40 minutes on the street(bearing in mind I'm on a 28hr contract) so they added 50 something extra DPs and guess what..... after that it came out at 3 hrs 30 minutes .....10 minutes less.... I love managers they can do the imposible straight away ... miracles however take 10 minutes less....

we had one of our walks tested by an independant person and he agreed that increasing this walk would be unbearable with every house having steps.
