Exactly put. I can no longer finish within time. My walk, plus double absorption which isn’t even in the same place, can’t be done within time.DirtyHarry wrote: ↑20 Feb 2023, 18:11At long last, this scandalous practise of absorption, is being brought out into the public domain.
To deliberately understaff offices, have rounds with no dedicated postman assigned to them, and expect staff with already large, heavy rounds, to take up the slack, has been largely disastrous from day one.
If they want staff to earn every last penny of their wages, they should make sure there's work in the office for them to do if they get back early.
If management can't do that, tough.
The practice of making us say at the beginning how much longer we think it will take, rather than just writing the xs on a sheet at the end, is treating us like children who have to ask permission to be paid the correct amount.
How do you prep d2d ? More staff leaving, less sorters on the job, hoping people do both o.t and their days off. Can see 2/3 duties being done at best daily, don't even think about bullying, or adding pressure onto us. Our manager knows it won't work, whilst Thommo and board state their legal requirements - and deliberately fail. Don't blame us postie's ! We can't all be wrong/liars.
