LTB 238/26 – Update on DM26

[tramssirhc]

It was always going to be too complicated to work with Pods. Too many age factors and the difference in how people work etc. The mail is going to ramp up over the next 5-6 weeks as well.

I still feel the answer to make these 1 in 4 job cuts was to simply add 25% extra calls on every delivery and spit them 50/50. Run it for 6 weeks and adjust the heavier walks with the easier ones. No idea why RM had to make it so complicated. Classic case of college boys and girls who have never done a walk.

The increase in DP's would need to be 33.333333..% to achieve 1 in 4 job cuts.

Once again disabled the comments on latest Facebook post as they were getting hammered off members about this DM26 s**t. Spineless overpaid lazy rotten cowards.

Wonder if they've banned people posting negative comments as well like they started to do when Covid was an issue.

With DO's failing at around the 50% mark for the offices which have reported figures back, at what point do RM stop the roll out whilst they try and resolve the issues, assuming they can, at the "pilot" offices?

If so many (cherry picked?) DO's are already failing now, then what's it going to be like from Black Friday week onwards, total carnage??

I still can't understand why anybody voted "yes" to increasing their workload with no resultant increase in pay or benefits.

My manager says daily while keeping a straight face that we doing less work with more time and that it's better for us all.

My guess is that they'll want it fully rolled out everywhere by about mid to late October at the latest, before packet levels pick up too much in November.

It’s the increased call rate that is the problem

You would think the Union top brass would be interested to know what the average postie thinks about DM26, rather than disabling comments. It's almost as if they don't care..

I've just had a thought, usually Fridays light side would be Mondays heavy side, but what happens on a BH week is it moved to being heavy on that side on the Tuesday to keep in sync ?
Otherwise Wednesday is going to be fun

DK wants to make huge profits at the expense of its already worn out , de motivated staff.

The bloke is ruthless.... he doesn't care if you drop dead... you'll just get replaced....

I don't think it is good for your mental health to just make stuff up.

DK also owns several media titles in France (Elle, Marianne) of which he says he wouldn't accept losses but he doesn't expect them to make much money either.
He has also loaned money to Liberation.

So all this stuff about he doesn't care if you drop dead isn't really doing you much good.
