Lyra -- "We got a new postmaster and there’s implementing this stupid red line again. But we are having to walk into only one door when to returning. I understand they can do the red line, but can they force us to walk around the building?"
-- Manglement can request carriers do what ever manglement wants. But it usually ends in one of two ways: 1) carriers request a reference, or 2) whenever carriers start requesting to be paid for the "new taskings" via the 8127.
-- If you are having to walk farther to reach the "red line" door, ask for the additional footage involved to reach the "red line" door.
"it’s the dumbest thing ever, you have to stop when you walk into the door so they can look whatever you bring back."
-- If manglement makes you wait at the "red line" until they come over to look at what ever you bring back, let them know they are "on the clock" for this new tasking! And that you expect the time to be part of your EOS duties. Or ask that you be paid via the 8127, which no doubt will cost manglement a LOT more than having the time added to your EOS. Note the time on the 4240 and make a copy for future reference.
