Royal Mail are always crying about how they are losing money but yesterday in my mate's MC they had casual staff folding mail bags on £20 per hour . Yet another example of being lead by a tinpot management .

Yet another mate down the pub comment attacking Angard Staff??

The reality being the amount of Angard staff required on any day or night depends on advance traffic forecast on what is coming into the mail centre to be processed that night for delivery. Angard staff are the bare minimum and never stop in bull rings, etc. The last few weeks they have been on the manual letters all night clearing all the Christmas cards rejected from the machines.
Absolutely pathetic comment Redlen. Quite clearly the comment is aimed at management, not casual staff.
I notice on a couple of threads now you are trying to create a wedge between agency and RM staff. It should stop right now.

Classic deflection tactics, the Conservative Party press office should employ you as you sound like a political officer.

No problem in our office we had a load Monday. Getting an additional 100 drops next week to make up for lower volume best of luck with that!!

Aaah ok, but a lot of us will own shares (indirectly) in Angard, it's owned by Royal Mail for those that aren't aware.

The mail keeps coming. Bags bought back and Ryde drivers covering LATs plus we have a good half dozen people working their day/ week off. Where will the redundancies come from?

Yep, they are deliberately throwing money down the drain. We had half a dozen agency sat in the canteen drinking coffee all morning :cuppa :cuppa :cuppa :cuppa :cuppa :cuppa


Then 2 of them of went out in a van delivering last fortnights D2Ds!
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
