Following a successful trial.......

Post by maninred »

I was just thinking about the "next generation" PDA's and the obvious trial that will take place.

Will it follow the same format as the other trials?

Stormproof coat

"Here john, put this on and stand in the yard while I throw half a plastic cup of water at you"

Splish.

"How does that feel?"

"I got a little bit wet. "

"It's not going to keep all of the water out. Okay lads, order 150,000 of them."

Outdoor footwear test

"Hello Mail Centre person, would you try these shoes on while you are on the sorting?"

15 minutes pass.

"How do they feel?"

"A little bit uncomfortable"

"They probably need wearing in. Okay lads, order 150,000 of them"

We're you involved in the trials? You seem to have astonishing inside info.
By the way, I have a mate who works in a mail centre and he categorically tells me that they were asked to wear the shoes for 20 minutes not 15.

John the runner has successfully trialed the deliver to neighbour scheme, we totally ignored the fact he started an hour early, didn't take his breaks, ran like a looney and door stepped all the packets, he got back before his finishing time, therefore taking no more time.

Managers trials...

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

as from the 1st dec managers will be informed that once delivery drivers return with tracked and scanned delivery items that have been 739 after there delivery they must re-deliver all the items for the area again.the more they get rid of the bigger there bonus will be after xmas. no manager can not get out of this one as this has been trialed in areas all over the countrie.
portsmouth
oxford
newport
northampton
hartlepool
shrewsbury

all the managers said after the trial they thought it was a great idea and loved working late for nothing.
by the way the london trail was stopped due to not having enough managers trainned with the hand-held scanners.

Lie lie lie .... six area mentioned ... ONE of them has not been trialed ..... ALL lie .....
Anyway ... once P739 has been issued , that's it ... this item must be booked in and remain in Enquiry Office till customer make decision about it ... i-e pick it up or re delivery or not pick it for 18 days.
