Let's be honest about it, if RM can't make a profit now with Tracked seemingly going through the roof, most DO's not having had a penny spent on them for decades and plenty of aging vans still around, then they never will, if we won't why on earth did DK spend billions buying the company?

What do HR safe actually do to warrant annual bonuses for £1,500(?) if the company really is struggling bearing in mind that staff retention of new starters is around 50% it does sound like they are doing anything but a bog standard HR job.

Pleading poverty again, so why are you handing out £47 per workplace coach all over the country , for months not doing anything. 6 at ours £300 pw , near £2grand just at ours . There is money wasted everywhere in this company.

Managers must cost a fortune. We have on one shift in a mail centre. 1 Shift Manager, 1 Span Breaker ???, 7 Managers, 2 Acting Managers, and 8 Team Leader/Coaches. I looked up whilst sorting packets and saw I was being supervised by 6 assorted leaders in a group all just staring straight at me. I was just puting boxes into yorks like yesterday, but needed to be watched in case I suspiciously smiled or something.

The groups of MC managers doing sweet F.A like to block the aisles in our DO/MC. Not satisfied with just doing absolutely nothing they also manage to slow everyone else down.
