Trolleys?
Thought I'd ask, these revisions based on trolleys or what?

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.

Re: Trolleys?
Heard from one guy I know in a different office - who's going through a structural revision - and it sounds like the case there. Big loops using LWT. Don't know about other offices.

Re: Trolleys?
Ours was apparently based on using trollies, however when our Rep pointed out to the planner that using trollies can slow a postie down quite a bit, this information didn't seem to make sense to the planner, hence an utter shambles. Had 5 doing my duty today, still no where near clearing the back log

Re: Trolleys?
Our planner was not sure whether you pulled or pushed them, but did not know who to ask to find out

Re: Trolleys?
One thing for sure is that Royal Mail never, ever do anything right.
They will never make people start on time.
They will never make people take their breaks.
They will never make people use delivery equipment (trolleys)
All managers are a cliche, you can read them like some crap book you have on a shelf.
Revisions are a s**t show.

Re: Trolleys?
Well he should have asked me.
The CWU did extesive research into this very question and the answer is .........
Do what makes you happy. It doesn't make the slightest difference.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I had to use one everyday for eighteen months while covid restriction were in place, pushing can eventually hurt your wrist and shoulder whilst pulling can result in lower and middle back discomfort,clashcityrocker wrote: ↑23 Oct 2021, 14:28Well he should have asked me.

Why on earth would your rep point out to a planner that a LWT slows a postie down?pieoftheday wrote: ↑22 Oct 2021, 16:29Ours was apparently based on using trollies, however when our Rep pointed out to the planner that using trollies can slow a postie down quite a bit, this information didn't seem to make sense to the planner, hence an utter shambles.

Walks should be planned and tested using one, not tear assing around as quick as possible, surely?
Sooner or later, a beat dog bites.

Re: Trolleys?
I think that the planner didn't understand the impact of using a trolley on a delivery,Rep was trying to make him aware before the stupidly big jobs were implemented. Tested?!! Last time any duties were actually tested in our office was over 20yrs ago!! Anyhoo duties are now far too big,even if we could break the loops down to use a pouch, no tear assingcrimson king wrote: ↑23 Oct 2021, 15:26Why on earth would your rep point out to a planner that a LWT slows a postie down?pieoftheday wrote: ↑22 Oct 2021, 16:29Ours was apparently based on using trollies, however when our Rep pointed out to the planner that using trollies can slow a postie down quite a bit, this information didn't seem to make sense to the planner, hence an utter shambles.
