PDA actuals query.

[number one]

I bet if all walks were timed with no unpaid work done before duty time begins and everyone taking their full break time that the majority of walks would not be able to be completed within paid duty time. This is where RM is now. How we fix this is the problem. Our union rep said to us yesterday, that with the implementation of PDA actuals, everyone should now realise this is the end of the 'job & finish' culture. We now all will have to 'work to rule' effectively.

to true and its about time everybody did , its the early starters , the runners that have allowed this company to take deliverys out , collapse , make dutys bigger and even allowed dims to b&h the people that do the job right , imo selfish bastards , but these are the ones that are against scanning in and out and pda actuals , they can bring it in tomorrow for me.

Totally agree with you , it's the early starters , runners , doorstepers , scared of using a trolley selfish idiots that are wrecking the job

I don’t start early, take my break, never run and still get back early and do my overtime because I am good at my job. Some people take 7hrs to deliver a round that takes everybody else 4hrs. These people SHOULD be challenged but as soon as they do they start crying bullying and harassment!

I doubt there are many Postie's that take three hours longer than other Postie's except maybe if they get dropped onto a new walk with no training.

Doubt it all you want, it’s true.

I've a image of some posties using PDAs wrapped in tin foil

Just disconnect from the network when on delivery.

why disconnect or wrap in tin foil if you have nothing to hide ?

I think they still collect data even if you do that. The PDAs have been collecting data since October 2017 but RM haven't used it for anything yet.

I was joking about the the tin foil but if there's no connection to GPS then obviously the PDA can't be tracked.

As has been posted previously, if you've got nothing to hide there's no need to worry

[fishtank]

Disconnecting the PDA from the network won't stop it collecting information, it will only stop it sending the stored information until it is reconnected again.

It will ultimately result in dismissal though so I suppose that will stop the buggers tracking you.

yes they have , but you still have the elite finishing 2 hours before there time and thinking its great , theres going to be some tears ,

I don't think the old Intermec PDAs had GPS modules and it still knew where you were based on cell tower triangulation. Don't bet your job on the PDA not tracking you.

Had a huddle today saying they are doing this in 2 weeks, so the few that have been booking overtime better watch their backs!

We had videos on carrying and lifting and associated discussion much to some Postie's annoyance as it was a fairly busy day with a lot of SDs. Not surprised if the PDA actuals program did start soon but the AHDC isn't set up yet so I'm not sure how accurate the timings would be with only half the data set.
