IPS training

Never had any training on IPS you pick it up as you go along!
must admit i don't know how this will be affected by the agreement though as it clearly states, you will not be asked to do anything you are not qualified or have not been trained to do, so i don't know the scope of that, if it is not down in your 318 then you are quite right to refuse it, you should know what is in your 318 as you signed for the duty, hope you did anyway, but as things are going who knows!

The part timers situation, in our office seem to do as they please, most not in the union and most not doing the job properly, taking out there cars etc

Buy yourself a neck brace,then get stuck in.

They call me iron arms down my place cause of my (when i get the urge to do it) sorting.

I'm Part Time, I know I don't have to do any sorting on the Primary, but I always sort out my miss-sorts there. Been told I'm the only part timer who does this, lol.

I know I don't have to do this, but it's the only way to learn.

We used to have cards

500,3 days learning them,then tested,20 mins ,20 mistakes max

Most people would pass

then managers started testing and 1 or 2 would fail.

Even with 400 odd streets?

You've lived a sheltered life - what do you do for 40 hours?

Get sat down and get sorting!

I'd be quite happy to take a test on the IPS if I could watch the LM do it first.
