cutting off
So how many ppl on here cut off,and do alot of ppl in your office cut off.I work in a office of about 50 and nobody got balls to cut off apart from me and another guy.everybody is scared of management,and if anything I get abuse from other postmen for shafting the bloke who is on it the next day.really makes me angry as most ppl book ot,so its not a case of me being crap,just a case I don't want to go over my time.

Why should it affect the guy who is on it the next day?rockypostie wrote:if anything I get abuse from other postmen for shafting the bloke who is on it the next day.really makes me angry as most ppl book ot,so its not a case of me being crap,just a case I don't want to go over my time.
If you cut off...your cut off should be delivered that day.
If it isn't...it's a failure...if they are making no attempt to get it delivered it should be flagged up and your manager should be in the deepest of deep s**t.
If they try and fail to get it delivered then the next guy just has more to cut off.
Nobody is shafted.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: cutting off
I always cut off on weds, thurs and friday!
Few other people cut off on those days too I think, not sure how many, not really bothered. My round can't be done in the time allowed so even if I was the only one cutting off... it's no sweat off my arse!

Re: cutting off
I just don't take it out if I know I'm going to be over, leave behind 30minutes or 60 minutes or whatever it'll take to get you finished on time, TBH I thought this was standard practice but 1600 different ways of working in RM 
I'm preparing myself for the zombie invasion, rule number 1 - Cardio

Re: cutting off
We (me and p+l partner) cut off most days so manager and union rep decided to test my walk today.
Managed to complete one and third off two walks.
Union rep mentioned about prep assisstance and get us out early to complete our duties.
Can RM make you do 5hr delivery ?
Thought delivery span was 4hr 10min using LWT, can anyone give me any information on
delivery span and H&S regarding fatigue.
Thanks in advance.

Re: cutting off
why prep assistance if the delivery is to big
did you not do a post revison evaluation, it is in the six step process to address these issues
also
you cannot be made to work more than 5 hours continuous without a break

No revision was done , all they did was added lapsing onto our walks.keithposty wrote:why prep assistance if the delivery is to big

Union rep agreed to everything DOM wanted and now he's trying to justify that
walks can be done with prep assisstance.
BTW my union rep refuses to use trolley and arrives at depot 30-60min before his duty ends.
His excuse is too many hills!
