Just a thought --
To actually get reports to try to decipher what a route actually is receiving is a challenge. Most PM's don't have the time (or the skill) to pull reports for DPS, flats, WSS scans, bundled flats, parcels, etc. There are at least 3 different reports to get this information, I believe. DPS/tub flats/carrier routed letters and flats are on the same daily report, which the PM or CSS uses to determine city daily times. The report automatically comes with city and rural if in the same office.
I applaud all you diligent employees trying to match up what you actually got with what the system says you should have. And then, since much of the volumes for the "count" is 52 week history, little of that is actually available, and impossible to match. IF a carrier scanned two EDDM's four months ago, do you know for certain that those entered into the count? Yes, you scanned them. Proof?
We were assured, from the start and throughout, that we'd be able to match everything just like we did with sticky notes in the past. Verify each count. We aren't even close to that and the "mini count" is over.
All the decisions have been made far above our office's levels. For the first time, we can't actually validate what the system says our routes have delivered over the past year. We are at the point where whatever comes in on a piece of paper in two weeks, we either accept or decide it's time to find alternate employment. It may be OK, it may be awful.
I thought the same thing!
