They don't inform about much. Not informing about the dead on arrival RRECS program would be more of the same.I do not doubt what you say but I guess, the union/mgt has no interest in informing us about this ????

too costly for who? too stupid for everyone... maybe in may and june i like evaluated, April and july are ok for evaluated, but vote hourly for the rest of the year....Went to union meeting, my office is a study office. Was told a few months ago that we were going to be getting the new scanners. Now at the meeting, we were told the P.O does not want to give us the scanners because RRECS will "be too costly" and they are going to pull the plug on it. No RRECS.
Money well spent!Makes me wonder if they planned to go through the motions all along. Did it really take a $100 million + "scientific study" for the USPS to realize that an evaluation in paying carriers fairly for door drops would cost a bundle?
Yes, its no surprise the USPS is broke. They couldn't hit sand if they fell off a camel!!!I feel like Linus looking for the Great Pumpkin. All those bread crumbs blowing in the wind. How wasteful
Is this applying only to parcels, or are they using zip+4 to measure mail/flats per neighborhood too?The mapping is from your scanner, Almost all data points are collected with the scanner. As of now if there is a locked in neighborhood that neighborhood will have a different Vol Fac then Say the next neighborhood on your route will have a different Vol Fac. All depends on volume collected for those neighborhoods. Very cool to see where your heavy volume is being collected. Should make adjusting rts much easier in the future.
I agree. No confidence.I have no confidence that ANY of the data collected will be used in any meaningful way to improve we rurals situation. If it doesn't provide free work for USPS there would be no reason to use it. I also don't believe that the district geeks looking at all of the data actually believe we are handling this much package volume. Somehow, from the inside of the district offices, they can "tell" we are padding the numbers and will try to "negotiate" a more "average" parcel number. I don't trust any of this data will be ever used to provide a more fair pay system for us.
Q: Are the powers that be aware that it is wrong, or is manipulated?I agree. No confidence.
I have personally proven their data to be incorrect on numerous occasions. It's wrong. (Disclosure: I managed data analysis and interpretation as part of my corporate responsibility)
alot of the super's are ex clerks/mailhandlers/citycarriers, they look at our numbers of everything and say "no way in haiti's did that carrier deliver 145 packages, 550 flats, 1800 pcs of dps, 100 raw letters, drove 75 miles in one day, the data is wrong!" quote un quote.... lolQ: Are the powers that be aware that it is wrong, or is manipulated?
(Perhaps some of both?)
I have no professional data experience. I constantly remind myself to use the word"data" as a plural .
Well conditioned body abusing mini machines. Oh the terror.alot of the super's are ex clerks/mailhandlers/citycarriers, they look at our numbers of everything and say "no way in haiti's did that carrier deliver 145 packages, 550 flats, 1800 pcs of dps, 100 raw letters, drove 75 miles in one day, the data is wrong!" quote un quote.... lol
It takes DPS and Footage into account, so yes.Is this applying only to parcels, or are they using zip+4 to measure mail/flats per neighborhood too?

Oh NO another LONGG answer from the Old Fart.....Q: Are the powers that be aware that it is wrong, or is manipulated?
(Perhaps some of both?)

Old Farts words of wisdom. Is that Oz behind that curtain? It be Old Fart spewing free knowledge. The machine is fooling no one. All this runs on stamp sales and parcels? PMy guess, and it's purely a guess, based upon experience, and little birdies speaking every so often, is that top up management (region, national) knows it's far from perfect but says it's "directionally correct" which means if you examine each piece, it may be incorrect, but what in total what the message says that the conclusions drawn from the data are right ones.
The outright fallacy of this is that when you put garbage in you get garbage out. In other words, if your foundation data isn't accurate, every conclusion from that data is inaccurate. Like a home foundation, if it's flawed, the rest of the structure won't have integrity.
District and local management has to abide by whatever the numbers say, because that's what their boss is using to harass them. Nobody dares, during telecon, to say the data isn't right. The answer is usually "I'll take corrective action" and that gets the MPOO to move on to the next criminal. They may know it's not accurate, but their boss, and their peers, are abiding by it, so they have to as well. They work around it the best they can.
You EAS lurkers on here, you know there are what, 19 or so different programs where data is entered into each one separately, so numbers are generated from each program. The solution, though a very costly one, is to have ONE DATABASE
So having gone to this meeting, and NOW seeing the new thread about RRECS being back on.... what do you think now????Went to union meeting, my office is a study office. Was told a few months ago that we were going to be getting the new scanners. Now at the meeting, we were told the P.O does not want to give us the scanners because RRECS will "be too costly" and they are going to pull the plug on it. No RRECS.
