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.

pad wrote:Just a few 'issues'

1) If you don't scan a Tracked item at the doorstep it can be traced back since part of the system generates GPS locater (via the phone signal)
2) If Items are not scanned back into your Unit (via the indoor process) and allocated to Caller's Office then it is entirely possible that the Delivery OPG could, in theory still be held responsible if the 'second' attempt doesn't take place and the item is 'somewhere' in the system.
3)From memory fairly certain there was a mandatory instruction only a few months ago to only use 'Safeplace' as laid out in the Instruction on the item since Customers who log on will then go looking for the item in said safeplace and it gets worse when there is no such instruction therefore generating call to Customer Services.



Items are scanned at the doorstep, based on the fact that the callers office is the safe place. Heard today that our whole area are scanning as safeplace on failure to deliver not just our office. :hmmmm explains all the high 90's success rates

I as well as the rest of my office have been told to bring Tracked back If you can't get rid first time but don't scan/leave a card If you don't get rid.

Does that sound ok?

Looks like this dodgy bollocks is pretty widespread, should someone wake Uncle Bob?
