Cut Offs

Post by Greekgod »

Hello, in my office there tends to be cuts off most days, are managers meant to record these cut offs? And what could happen to them if they don't?

Yes,and if they are found to be not recording them they usually get the high jump.
If you're sure they're not,tell Moya,and keep notes of cut offs...

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.

Someone else will 100% know but i do know they have to mention them in conference calls,and i would of thought there would be a paper trail as well.

They have to record the exact number of items failing delivery on the Daily Office Daily Report, either on the day it happened or the next working day, now its only mail that fails to be delivered so if postie A Cuts off and then manager gets postie B to deliver it later on OT that wont get reported, if postie A cuts off and mail not reported then exact number of items undelivered gets reported and of postie A cuts off and Manager C delivers it, then the number of part walks covered by manager must be reported but not number of items he delivered

Missorts not taken out are classed as failures and should be reported,in an office audit they will lose you serious points.
I think offices had a "tolerance" percentage though,i'm not sure if that's still the case,WCM probably has a zero tolerance.
I've seen "interesting" things done with missorts on audit day.
Missorts brought back as far as i'm aware are not recorded at all. :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

If you bring back mail endorsed "Dog at large" the DODR is supposed to be retrospectively updated with the number of partial failures.
"No access" - is the same if the building hasn't already been highlighted as a problem.
Missorts should probably be treated the same way.

I doubt there is a manager in the business who does it by the book.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
