We were told this morning that the majority of units in the country are in disarray, which is odd because I don't see 7,000 DOs listed here.
It's baffling how RM just allows Amazon to dump all their excess on them, so have to contend with additional Black Friday items from their usual suppliers and all Amazon's excess on top, and expect a handful of additional agency staff at each DO to deal with the excess.
Yodel have got capacity issues so some retailers will be diverting some of their postings over to RM

I’ve always been amazed that ours hasn’t appeared. Almost as if they were being a tad dodgy with recording fails.
My entire walk failed today. It was recorded as only a third failing. When I questioned it was told the boss wouldn't be happy if he heard the entire walk failed.
May I suggest using the raising concerns feature on the people app?
I have done this recently. The result was a good number of stressful (for the local management) visits from senior types from outside of the operations chain of command.
Questions were asked. Correct procedures were explained, management was taught to count.
We suddenly rightfully appeared on the list for a few days until the OPL's hand was forced into providing some support.
We're still in a mess but it feels more honest...for now.
This sounds like a good way to get on your manager’s s**t list though if the report is not anonymous.
It was anonymous, and I could have remained more anonymous.
"The investgator" asks any specific questions to the reporter via a central team. And the reporter responds likewise.
As far as I'm aware none of the managers involved know it was me.
Like many others I have been dubious of the process. But I have become angry enough at the complete and utter dishonesty that appears across the operations management that I realised that in all good conscience I can no longer be a passive bystander, compliant through silence and as such completely complicit in the goings on.
The ones making my life hell on the other hand are the union representatives, for daring to undermine their 'authority' and embarrassing them. By achieving more positive for the unit with one anonymous report and a couple of not anonymous emails to the CEO and others much higher up than us 'lowly' OPGs or even the Coms and Dom's.

Reading this and your previous post I also wondered about the anonymity of it so having checked on the people app I see you can access it either through the app which I assume won't be anonymous or there's a phone number so probably the option to choose if you wanted to avoid painting a target on your back.

You would have to be absolutely anonymous or forever marked.

My main concern about reporting it is the bloke that was making the report. He is an OPG just like me and was no doubt following orders. I can see if the s*** hits the fan he will be made the scap goat.

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. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
If the official figure is 88 then the unofficial figure is probably 488. Based on what I'm seeing at my office. Those 88 offices need to get better at creative accounting.
The DO I work at should have been on this list for the last fortnight but has not appeared on it so it definitely isn't an accurate representation of DOs that are failing

Same, boxes of mech just stacked up next to the frames. It’s not like Covid when there was nobody to cover the duty’s it’s just the fact there is no point putting it into the frame as just doing packets on the duty’s take u into overtime. Worst I have ever seen it.
I just look at this list as an indicator of how few offices have managers honest and/or naive enough to report the genuine level of USO failure. The fact that it's a surprise that more than a handful have appeared this time around is telling.
