Prep Rate Is there an agreed standard.

Is there an agreed prep rate for sorting into frame that covers all indoor time.
Can remember 11,12ish being mentioned somewhere.
Is there an agreed standard that can be used to threaten or conduct staff.

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.

If you are tested on anything other than the one minute test submit an Individual Grievance and make sure this gets heard and not swept under the carpet.
So Tamsky wrote and so it should be.

But that means the mbrs have to do something and in my D.Oo they would rather make excuses.

Last week a mbr was moaning that he had to go and do a bit more IPS and when told we were absorbing said he might not have time due to having to doa bit more IPS. Naturally I told him to cut off, his response was to make very excuse he could think off. The clock dont lie and when it shows plenty of duty time left there aint much scope to make ones actions match ones words. Proably at best a handful of mbrs will make ensure their actions and words match up. So to them :Applause :Very Happy to those who seem incapable of it :hmmmm :arrrghhh :crazy: :sad: and I :pray that the god of unions forgives you.

in 7 years i had 1 sorting test at a rm 2000 frame, on ips mainframe not one.
we now have wsm, as i prep a few walks i love sequenced mail, but if you are on the same walk all the time it makes no difference.
