As letter volumes decline, we've been taking letter sorting machines out of the operation.

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.

Best guess is that if it's an MPU then they'll go back on delivery

That'll be a shock to the system for some of them

The monitor means of efficiently upcycling the network process in order to give real-time dynamic feedback that allows full development of a virtuous cycle of continuous improvements in methodology that are built on a solid foundation of ongoing assessment and rigorous testing of the critical factors impinging on best practice.

I think the business would be far more profitable if could get rid of some of its senior managers in 60 seconds.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

So these CSS Machines were able to sort the mail 10 or 100 times quicker than a postman if they remove them will this reverse automation meaning we can expect we have matched these old machines or they expect us to do so, Given that the climate where some come in from a position of grandeur and expect is one of expect and not reality as I don't Expect a golden hello of £6 Million but it does happen!
