How Long is a Walk ????

Post by RedBagMan »

... title says it all ... my normal walk is (allegedly) one of the 3.5 hours jobbies - currently working at another office (up't'road) where they tell me the walks are set out as 4 or 4 and a bit hours -moving towards P&L I guess .

So when your contracted hours are 4.48mins ... it would be nice to know what the hell is going on ... Docket calls ...
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

How long is a piece of string in RM :left:

My walk is from 4hr to 4hr 40min. Most in my office are around 3.5hr to 4 hrs these days. However there are still some which can be completed in 3hrs :crazy:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

One mans walk is another mans jog. We are not robots so i try not to subscribe to the 'this walk takes this long' etc. If a man can do a walk in 2 hours 30 and it takes another 3 and half hours how long is the walk? Should the more efficient guy (One who delivers mail to customer asap) walk slower to appease the hour seekers or those that claim the walk is over sized?

Royal Mail should run the Olympics. I can see it now, penalizing the 1500m winner because he came first.

"We will have to make it 2000m next Olympics...It must be too small"

The only company in the world that can't make money from a cash cow!!

Depends on how many bloody long pathways you have got, travelling time, rurals, the amount of door to doors.
and never rush about, those days are over. Those that benefited the most as postmen, are the managers, and guess what they certainly dont want the same set up.
Its amazing how quickly the company that used to be very generous with overtime, suddenly became so stingy.
