Scrap Clear Office Policy ?

Post by gb93 »

Is this on the cards for near future.
Would it be good for RM. Would it be good for delivery staff.
Would it even workload, bring down need for overtime, make B&H less or more likely, protect or destroy FT jobs, make DM & WSM revisions work, protect 6 day USO, make job more or less bearable.
Thoughts Pros & Cons.
This ain't no baseball game, you get only one chance and you blew it.

Ours has been scrapped for months.
As I'm usually the last one out, I get to see the all the letters/flats/packets that have suddenly appeared on the missort frame.
Last year the DOM would have thrown a wobbly, now can't care less and no we haven't had our revision yet!
We do get WSM though, but it still doesn't make much difference to the prep time!

i had a coaching session last year for leaving one letter in IPS slot.

there are now thousands of letter/flats left daily.

dont even ask about packets! these are usually delivered within 2 weeks.

i do some ebaying and alway send via the cheapest option as i know for a fact it will be delivered just as slow as 1st or 2nd class.

Can there really be such a place? An office cleared of all due mails? On any given day of the week? In this very badly managed company we slave for? Where "Quality of Service" are words with a very hollow ring to them?

We might think there is, but despite appearances, there really isn't. :cuppa

At one time we used work until all the mail had been prepped on the IPS. We now have a cut off time and the DIM walks along throwing Mailsort back into the York, if there's a lot. And we'll often leave a couple of Yorks of Flats that have come in on the last truck. These are sorted by the Cage staff if they've got time or anyone that wants a bit of Overtime when they've finished. I believe we've got bigger problems to solve that worrying about a Clear Office Policy! Can't remember the last time anyone was picked up for leaving a few letters behind. :Very Happy
