Re: IPS nobody knows how to do it anymore
I personally would rather see someone laugh about a mistake then make a big deal other an error.
The job is grim already without posties moaning at others for mistakes.

Re: IPS nobody knows how to do it anymore
I know how to do it but I can’t do it because I’m part time.

The man that never made a mistake never did anything. People who do IP are humans not machines.

I've worked with posties who mis-sort mail for their own walk!

Re: IPS nobody knows how to do it anymore
Myself & a handful of FT’s do the IPS at ours.
It is not uncommon for PT’s to be ducking & weaving between us ,pulling a couple of letters out of their pigeon holes as we sort due to the post-revision start times. Some days they start only 10-mins later than the FT’s but don’t or can’t do sorting due to their contract!
More RM madness!

“Shorts,in this weather?!”
“If they’re bills I don’t want ‘em!”
“What’s she been ordering now?”

Re: IPS nobody knows how to do it anymore
It doesn't help when the "idiots guide" sheets on IPS and parcel sorting aren't updated properly to account for duty changes that happened months/years ago!

Re: IPS nobody knows how to do it anymore
Very much this! I noticed a load this morning, looked at the idiot board to find the street I needed was down as being on a route I know, and know the street isn't actually part of!IloveMYredTROLLEY! wrote: ↑22 Jun 2022, 17:00It doesn't help when the "idiots guide" sheets on IPS and parcel sorting aren't updated properly to account for duty changes that happened months/years ago!![]()

Re: IPS nobody knows how to do it anymore
The brainless revisions destroyed any sensible sorting to duties , nothing makes sense anymore !

Re: IPS nobody knows how to do it anymore
Here's a different scenario I can sort packets into pairings no problem..but...put me on ips and I have no idea which streets the individual pairings do so I have to use the board...

Re: IPS nobody knows how to do it anymore
Shambles at ours. After the latest revision, some ips time was required to be done by certain duties. Lasted a few days until said duties refused to do it anymore.
People regularly turn in 10 minutes late who should be on ips.
Hiding on frames until the weak a$$ manager tells them do the ips they should be doing.
Disappearing off ips as and when they choose as the manager turns a blind eye.
Ends up being done by a core of 6/8 people, half of which need to look at route list for every letter/parcel although being in the business for 5+ years
