New Revisions:New Duty Structure

Post by POSTMAN »

What new duty structures have you got?
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.

10HR DAYS ? WHAT DUTY STUCTURE IS FAVOURED IN YOUR DELIVERY

Post by BLACKHEART »

We have 10hr duties / 1 in 3 saturdays off in our office, and it is great .
Now due to a self starter revision ( walk seqeuncing ) we might have to take them out due to a later distribution from the MC.
What type of duty structure have you favoured in your office friends ?, and does it work !

It was always going to be an issue with what the IWT thinks as workload and then trying to fill a 10 hr day without a ridiculous delivery span.
I think it was mentioned when the agreement came out.
The problem with IWT and walk sequencing is...the bigger the duty gets...the bigger the savings expected from WSM so you can really box yourself into a corner trying to maintain a 10hr day.
