Revision: How many offices are left to go through it?

Post by mrbungle »

How many delivery offices have gone through or are are yet to go through the revision? Our office is a shambles ever since the revision but I have heard some have still not gone through it.

Being a shareholder in a shambles is not very comforting. Perhaps RM will have a rethink before it's not too late?

Our office not had revision yet, likely to be early next year but not holding my breath. All walks in our office still use bikes and it's beginning to tell with many going sick with bad backs, knees etc under the weight we have to carry on shoulders. Nobody looking forward to Christmas period. :sad:

But the bikes, not your shoulders, take most of the weight. :thumbup
All those going sick with bad backs, knees etc now is nothing to what it'll be from walking five hours non stop. :sad:

Mr bungle, are you still working at Kettering?
If so what revision do you mean has left the office a shambles?
To my knowledge we are still awaiting our revision from two years ago to the park and loop system.
Last I heard it was put back until sometime next year for phase one to begin.

It's almost 5 years since we had the new methods foisted on us (we were among the first few offices in the entire country to undergo transformation). Do not wish this lunacy upon yourself if the car crash that we have endured for all these years is anything to go by....and with no attempt to fix it after all this time in sight.

I could go on and on about what the problems are, and the ramifications such as management bullying, stress, low morale, rocketing sickness levels etc, but there have been countless threads on the forum from many different posters on this subject and I'm sure most of you have a good idea of what the issues are likely to be. Our management "team" certainly do, but simply can't be a***d to do anything about it.

We are still a mainly walking pouch office. Apparently the "word on the street" is that there is less than 100 still to go through. There was a list of offices that had not gone over - some will have by now but not many http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... ld#p677401" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

We had the transformation revision 2 and a half years ago. Two and a half years on and we are going through another table top revision :shock: area rep said go for table top over putting it through that computer thing. Why, I thought the computer got it right all the time? Oh yeah, go for a table top and they'll come back for more in 12 months. This job will disappear up its own arse with nowhere to go in the very near future.

Shambles of a firm!

We have had about five revisions in six years! They still can't get it right.
