OPG
the new planning values for Photo on Delivery, presumably they are being incorporated into the next wave of revisions?

Head of Delivery Systems
yes we are looking at this at the moment and the aim is to build the activity time and frequencies into GeoRoute going forwards
So even if we assume in a fantasy world every single round in RM can be completed within the set hours (and yes I know only a tiny percentage can be)....this means going forward every single rounds will have calls removed to take into account this extra ‘activity time.’

Right Simon?
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

🤣 They will be pushing you to get your indoor work done quicker so you can be out on delivery longer

To all Delivery colleagues; just a quick reminder that you can Review all Photos before you submit just in case the image does not meet "what good looks like".
* is the door open/ajar?
* is the parcel shown in the open doorway?
* make sure the customer is not in the photo
* make sure the image is not blurred
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.

Expressionism refers to art in which the image of reality is distorted in order to make it expressive of the artist's inner feelings or ideas.

Took a couple of pictures of my thumb this week, some feet and a cat. I'm calling it my don't give a f**k phase...

Surrealism aims to revolutionise human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the unconscious and dreams. The movement's artists find magic and strange beauty in the unexpected and the uncanny, the disregarded and the unconventional.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Minimalist photography of a PCOD product provides an alternative in a world where there is so much content already saturating our senses. PCOD can give our eyes a bit of a rest while enabling more complex and thoughtful conversation around the parcel subject matter or is the front door clean by encouraging us to appreciate the finer points of art, including composition, shapes, the surrounding plant pots or dog s**t and creative style.

You don't mind your feet in it love do ya?

I'm hoping all the PCOD photos will be collated and published in a sequel to Unseen UK: Photographs by the People at Royal Mail

Anyone had phase 2 implemented yet and if so any response/info from management about increased workload? I do up to 120 tracked packets a day and they make me take exactly my hours on the route optimiser even though I’ve told them it already takes longer than the PDA estimates because of traffic/739s/neighbours etc.

What's happens if you take over your hours, do you complete the delivery in your own time?

As far as "Phase 2" I can't see how RM can ever implement the changes, as it would make most postie's rounds impossible to complete if they stuck to the rulebook.

Deployment Lead

For all Delivery Colleagues- DOM's & OPG's..CPOD up-skilling

Please see the current overall CPOD training/up-skilling progress.

A decision has been taken today to delay the next phase of CPOD- T24 & 48 [non-signature] for 48 hours to increase the number of OPG's fully up-skilled.

We are currently sitting at 81.2% and this time will enable us to move forward and get a lot more colleagues through.
