Office resign question

[HTPostman]

Why are walks separated into full time and part time? Shouldn't the only difference be just the indoor stuff, with the actual walk part being open to all?

Then who Preps the Walk covered by the Part Time Staff, some of who are only on 20 Hours
You put that work onto a full time duty thats already been picked , conflict
Better to sort it out before the duties go up for picking

Why not have all the full time duties doing the indoor work including preping walks? Take the total number of walks and divide that number by the number of FT staff, which would give you how many walks each would prep

You're quite right Space, this is the theory of how it should work in our office, however what happens is that the
full time duties are prepped to completion of all letters and the majority of packets and then there is a thought of 'Oh better
start prepping that PT walk' reluctantly and then 5 mins later the PT'er walks in and the walk is not prepped
to the level it should be. Result, the FT walk goes outoor 'earlier', the PT walk goes outdoor 'later' where it should
be that all walks go out at approximately the same time and return at approximately the same time ie the
outdoor time element is the same. Management see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing.

There’s only one way to sort that, but it would be incredibly unpopular; no one can leave the building until all duties which are going that day are fully prepped including redirections.

In my office all part-timers have a duty and many full-timers (like me) have lost their duties and have to be reserves, all reserves are now full-timers.

Remember the "good old days" when you started at the bottom and worked you're way up....not now.

All done to keep full-time jobs.....allegedly.

Same at ours. Full timers,with 15-20yrs service (me included) as reserve,loads of PT’s with less than 5yrs in,with their own walks:regular days off etc.

AND THE MAIN POINT OF THE REVISION WAS TO MAKE THINGS FAIR FOR EVERYONE

Nope that’s what the union conned us into. In reality they are to squeeze hours out of the office and blood out of the workforce. Same as ever.

OR ROYAL MAIL CONNED THE CWU WITH THE PROMISE OF FAIRNESS WHO THEN CONNED A LARGE MAJORITY OF THEIR MEMBERS (NOT ME).

Got to give a big to the unions overseeing (at every stage!) of the revisions. Phew!

Your cynicism does you no favours!

You are entitled your your opinion on that.

Management have proven themselves perfectly capable of enforcing closed doors in the past; for example, until IPS is clear when a lot of manual mail comes in. When the company gripes about employees not fulfilling all their contractual hours... well, here it is.
