Re: The "how is/was your revision" thread
I believe that the threshold for a re-pick is if 30% of duties have had a significant changeTristral wrote: ↑05 Oct 2021, 19:42So our office went from a structural revision(which in fairness seemed awful and done by someone with no clue about the office) to a tabletop revision.
Just adding bits to certain walks while others get nothing. Won't be remotely fair in the end but enough good duties for the rep and his buddies no doubt.
My question is are the walks that aren't changing at all able to be kept out of the re-pick of duties ? I feel like I've read that rule on here before but wasn't sure how true it was and if it was a union agreement or a royal mail thing.

Re: The "how is/was your revision" thread
Cheers yellow, just watched them now. It seems as though resourcing is the main issue there, but it backs up my comment from earlier in this thread about the importance of the Posties input in the revisions. But where is the time or even opportunity to do this?yellowbelly wrote: ↑05 Oct 2021, 19:30If anyone is interested CWU Leeds have produced three short videos on youtube about Sheepscar DO Structural revisions

Instead of these revisions being rushed through, why can't we have time to do them properly?

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.

Had a postie flip out 2 & a bit days into his rerouted walk, after being told to “tie it up & see how you go” bit of shouting & slamming things around & he was escorted off the premises by the DOM, hopefully he’s not in any trouble, he’s quite mild mannered bloke normally

Re: The "how is/was your revision" thread
We aren't even close to ours yet.Not even agreed what shift pattern the office will get.(structural revision)
Can't pick AL as per national agreement because it's taking so fecking long.
If ST thinks every office is going to be done by Oct he's living a fantasy.

Re: The "how is/was your revision" thread
Yesterday morning I received a text telling me my Tracked parcel was in the DO and was due for delivery 6/10.
I had a quick look but couldn't find it so I assumed it was already on a van.
No parcel arrived.
This morning I went to check again. A colleague was sorting parcels. He informed me all yesterdays failures were "over there".
I kid you not there was a cemetery of 500 -1000 parcels. Including Tracked and including flowers. And apparently including mine.
Still don't have it. Impossible to find it in my own delivery office.
As part of the structured revision process all offices should have someone to have a banner made to put over the office door.
Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
