Newish redirection system. Anyone else had this?

Post by L8Hatter »

Got back to the DO today to find that one of the IPS frames were now filled with everyone's redi packs. Apparently our office is now on 'national alert' (or somet such wording) for complaint levels and this is seen as one way of reducing them. So one IPS frame is marked 'IN', you do your redis and then put the packs in the adjacent frame marked 'DONE'. Was talking to the cover lino and apparently this has 'helped' other offices with high complaint levels. Has anyone else had experience of this system?

Apart from the drivers, I'm the only one who comes back to the DO (it's on me way home). Looking forward to some fun and games tomorrow when it's sprung on everyone

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.

Cheers postman. Looks like two of what have been up to now, IPS sorting frames, will now be used to hold each duty's redi packs. One before, and one after you've done them. More time added, lovely.

I suppose we can thank a winning combination of worried management and incompetent colleagues for this

We only have the one frame per area, no ins/outs.....so the if the re-di's get missed the managers don't even notice :crazy:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

:shock:

How long does it take you to them each day? Does the lino take account of this? Posh or scuffy area?

Been a few added to mine recently with the summer movers, and am up to 25, which is definitely in the top 20% for our section

This is the way it was always supposed to be done in our office, a few of the full timers who had their own walks kept them on their frames tho.
