LOLZ! I have to open my mouth even if the 50 Cent army are all over me :wave

Now I know how bad it has to be to appear on the list. It disproves my hypothetical, but not by very much.

So at, say, an office average of 25% there could be a 100% failure of any duty to exit the door and the unit would limbo under the stick despite the service being patently broken because 75% of addresses did not have anything. It's logical but also absurd.
The criteria to end up on the s**t list is indeed extremely lenient. You have to be proper s**t to end up on it. That being said, the offices that are probably leading the company KPI tables are probably the ones that fail 29% daily. Because they're the ones that are best utilizing the resources. As long as the tracked are done of course, all hail the RM tracked parcels.

We were on the list for the two days at the top of the week but then came off it on Wednesday, which is somewhat at odds with the rules saying three days must elapse. Then three days later we're on it again. So is that really six unbroken days?

These are publicly reported facts and any suppositions I make are for entertainment purposes only.
