In some of our local giant warehouse distribution centres, the workers have to wear some kind of GPS (or RFID) style wristband device so the management know exactly where you are at any time, if they stop moving for a while, how long they are in the toilet etc. Some of them even track how many boxes they have shifted.
I don't think the management have to wear them lol.

just think about it for a mo ...we all know job and finish gets the job done quickly ...so does RM ...but look at the other working practices they want to change ...lets say as sequencing is introduced theres less walksorting being done ...you will be required through pegasus job time and motion study (due to be rolled out next year) to do extra deliveries ...they are making the job fit the hours

Well said linkinpark, some of the guys waited over 20 mins for a lift out today, in days gone by they would have been champing at the bit to get out but today they were quite relaxed and knew that they would be bringing mail back and finishing on time

If this tracking device is fitted to your cycle helmet (as stamper suggests) make sure you throw it in the back of your mates RM van just as he is leaving the office!!!! That should F**K up his system when he clocks u peddling at 40 (or should that be 56 max ) mph down the M5!!!!

My job has got a lot more pleasant than it was and i can talk to all the people on the walks and just enjoy the job for what it is a SERVICE.

:lfo :cfo

Good advice.

If it is true about tracking devices, can any of you think of a reason why we should wear them and how they can force us to?!

peanut · Post by **peanut** » 15 Oct 2007, 17:50

oh you`ll wear one even if you dont ride a bike cause crosier will shove it up your arse if you dont lol

In a way i think they already do to some of us, drivers have to swipe when they empty boxes and pickup in subs. Big lorry drivers have the taco and RM claim this is for customer service and safety but i think not. if you add the CCTV in the offices big brother is already here to stay and you can bet your sweet arse they will claim customer service for any tracking device!

:lfo :cfo

Yes but thats the vehicle rather than the postman! Suggest it to me and they can sod off!

unbelievable at watford today nearly everyone worked their breaks today rushing around to get everything done same members of staff as usual some even went to senoir management to get their cars on delivery so they could rush home after. Even though are union rep was taken off his duty.the thing is we we were supposed to be sticking together and now certain people are more intrested in getting their own deals and no ones worried about their driver.It amazes me that by leaving your car at the end off youre walk all of a sudden you can complete SHAME ON YOU ALL THIS MORNING.THE DRIVER STILL COMES BACK AT 3 WHAT DOES HE GET OUT OFF IT
