FEBRUARY 2012
Following numerous phone calls into the department during the last few months on the procedure for Cutting Off, the below is the wording taken directly from the agreed appendix within the Conduct Code. Discussions are scheduled to take place at national level to review this procedure and agree a simple, clear and concise set of words covering this and absorption.
PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT
Where an employee feels that on completion of preparation he/she may experience difficulty in completing his/her delivery within the authorised time allotted, he/she should approach his/her manager as soon as possible before setting out on delivery. It will be for the manager to discuss any problem and advise the employee what particular action should be taken.
AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF DELIVERY
If an individual is prevented from completing their delivery for any reason, it is essential that this is reported immediately either by returning to the office or by telephone (telephone costs will be refunded). A written record will be kept. All employees should be informed of the local authorised arrangements, in writing, preferably in plastic card form if available.
Any members experiencing problems with Cutting Off should contact their local representative or their local Branch for assistance.
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. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Well said-whoever came up with it had no experience of delivering mail
I know its awful, I wonder what super idea those who thought this up will come up with next when they finally realise that it is never going to work
I don't particularly mind P&L (so far), but you can guarantee that in a few years, some bright spark will be in a strategy 'brainstorming' meeting and say,
"Hey, you know what would be a great idea, if we let postmen just be postmen and send all big parcels and specials out with a specialist guy, let's call him a DELIVERY DRIVER".
By the time P&L is made to work according to theory there'll be another round of revisions under some new national agreement. I remember seeing something in Courier ages ago about offices that adopted starbursting - does anyone know if any of those are now on P&L?
