We could potentially have 3 new clueless managers in our office if the clueless ones we have in already don't get their jobs. 2 have asked for VR so they definitely won't be around. So chasing up non signed for signature items is going to be pretty low on their list of important jobs for the next few months.
Doesn't have to be a human checking it, they'd probably use OCR software

If they give VR to every manager with 10+ years service seeking it, then I doubt they'll be many left!

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.

The best and most insulting part of that is when they start talking about dog attacks, the photo capture on delivery will increase dog attacks because like they say most happen on the doorstep where we now have to spend more time taking photos. It's time they stop pretending they give a toss about our safety because it doesn't ring true

We are obviously being sacrificed at the altar of customer complaints. Just because the govt. and media want to sweep Covid under the carpet, does n`t mean it has n`t gone away. The XP1 system works fine, punters are ok with it, but now we have to "interact" more with lots of different punters on the doorstep potentially spreading covid while their psychotic mutt gnaws on our ankles. Hey, as long as the customer complaints goes down eh?. Screw the posties.

As a customer, I'd refuse to handle a couriers PDA on H&S grounds.

Therefore, as a postie, I shall refuse to hand over my PDA on H&S grounds.

Risky. If there's any denial of receipt issues, then RM might try conduct coding you

As risky as catching omnibolox and DYING or passing it around and continuing this crazy cycle until we wipe out the human race. I’ll continue with XP1

Can't see RM allowing the use of XP1 for very much longer
