LWT's...

Post by BingBong »

What genius came up with this idea? Totally slows you down and makes the easiest of walks now near on impossible to complete.

Or you could look at it another way...

RM knew what equipment was supposed to be used for walks, yet they allowed planners to make the shift's workload too big, using the LWTs/HCTs properly.

Savings, profit, privitisation.

Real world hits home, more hours need to be put in just about every office, shares are worthless in 3 years time?

Why do you care if it slows you down?
It takes the weight off your back.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

You try and explain how it slows you down but it's pointless. I just ask them to come out with me on a walk now so I can show them. Manager walks off.

The same genius that thought no postman/woman should have to carry a heavy bag on there back for 4-5 hours a day! Bet you think taking a break is a Rubbish idea to! And that starting 40 minutes before your time and working for free is a great idea!

Sorry what? Actually mate I take my break every single day! And I don't work for free so I don't start early! So before you start having a pop! My point is the new work methods are s**t.

If the duty is unachievable the planning is at fault - not the equipment.

Ok so essentially the duty needs to be shortened in order to accommodate the new working methods?

Yes. But this is were it get's tricky as royal mail will not admit that there planners are wrong and will then start to blame the postman/woman. They will then start to B&H the people who are doing the job right.

Well you could say that or you leave in what cannot be achieved within the time scale and that in effect shortens the delivery, the completion of which is not your problemo. :wave
