Could always try asking the staff. Oh, silly me :whistle
That's where the idea of Headcams came from. (WCM muppets) :d'oh!

I don't see how fitting people with headcams is going to help identify mistakes as it is virtually impossible to achieve zero defects/mistakes unless you are a robot.

I'm also fed up with the meter section in GMC being the guinea pig for WCM ideas, some sections have seen no changes being made, especially the platform section where there is a major issue with mis-segrated mail. We must pull out at least 3-4 yorkies of collection mail from the meter bags, been like that for years, and don't get me started on the trayed in section where mail comes in more mixed than a salad!

To get on the WCM team at our office you need to be one (or all) of the following:-

a) A hopeless layabout doing no work at all
b) A complete Brown nose
c) Mates with the manager
d) Sha**ing the Manager
e) Good at colouring in.
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
