What a Waste of Money

Post by Cybitech »

Considering that all we hear about is that Royal Mail want to save money, by taking hours out of delivery offices, and absorbing duties, and constantly hammering the front-line staff....

How's this for ridiculous.....

At our delivery office we get 2 lots of mail each morning, the 1st which has come overnight from the mail centre to our main local area office, and the 2nd which is a direct lorry from the mail centre to our office. Today they decided it was worth sending the big 600cf lorry on a 160mile round-trip from the mail centre to our office with 1 tray of mail.

Where is the sense and justification in that ?? Obviously the mail centre had failed somewhere along the lines, but what a waste of money, if Royal Mail stopped doing stupid things like this, then surely they could save a hell of a lot of money around the country.


What do you lot think ?
