Prep Times

Post by Jynxx »

Hi.

Just recently the management have brought in a new thing where they supposedly get all of the mail+packet figures sent to them via the internet, now each day they're walking round and writing the amount of time we are allowed to throw the duty out on each frame. (like you have 1hr46 to throw your duty out)
I've brought up many questions about this for example is prepping D2D's included/kill off's/loading the van etc etc of course the answer is always yeah all that has been included.
Has anyone else had this brought into their office? there is no way on earth they can work out how many packets are for each duty or flats.
and lastly are they allowed to do this as I've heard no mention of any union agreement regarding this.

Thanks.

Get yourself a gate keeper to record everything that comes into your D/O from the M/C then your rep can see the variants and there will be some as M/Cs tell porkies.

the only agreed tool to measure individual performance is the one minute prep test on a clear frame

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.

We do that. There is usually a minimum difference of 20% between what the MC say we have, than what we actually have.

We also have the daily figures from the CSS operation, a night of approx 120,000 items will be displayed as 85,000-90,000. :hmmmm :hmmmm :hmmmm

Probably means the mailcentre figures.
Packets,flats and manual is just an ACF figure.
Feckin pointless bag of nonsense and nothing to do with individual performance. :roll:
