Re: walk sequence
Depends on the hrs doesn't it for part timers and prepping?
25hr or less bods won't be able to do it surely?

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: walk sequence
I don't see how, because roughly the time you save by receiving WS mail, is roughly the time it takes to do your D2D and that might only be 3 D2D at that.kitkatchunky wrote:Am on 25hrs and he said I should be able to prep it and my d2ds

Your manager is talking BOLLOCKS.
If you'd had any, you'd have called "BOLLOCKS" the moment he came out with this utter BOLLOCKS.

Re: walk sequence
30 min break for a 5 hour day???? puts my shitty 20min break for my 6 hour day to shame
unless i'm on a familiar walk(not often, as floater/reserve) or my frame has been at least 50% prepped, i'll generally find it hard to finish within time. CUT OFF if you cannot complete in your contracted hours and after a week or so, i'm sure your lino will get your frame prepped again to save himself the hassle
for example, in at 9.00, meeting until 10.00, arrive to empty frame that have never done before, out by 12.00 = 3.00hours to deliver minus 20 min break and 20min to and from delivery point
Now, unless your a flyer, doorstepper and the rest of them......you have no chance of completion

Re: walk sequence
Someone's mugging you off if you're only getting 20 minutes; 30 minutes is your ENTITLEMENT. It's written in stone and someone will no doubt have the relevant linkage if you wait around long enough.

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

Re: walk sequence
Yeah thats bull mate there no way you could prep your walk and still finish within your time. If your on a temp contract they can ask you to prep stuff but you should be getting Overtime for it.
