That looks like a nice little office still got drop bags for parcels.
Probably for the firms duties.
I do a firms delivery and have been having 3 shrouds of packets/parcels a day the last few weeks, I wish I only needed a drop bag

It is a very small office 17 walks in total 1 firms duty and Lumps/Parcels by and large done by Slough Hub so not quite the need for space as elsewhere they only get 30 yorks of work a night bar very very occasionally needing a 3rd run get 2 yorks of specials a night including lumps and probably 4 or 5 yorks of tracked does make it a lot easier

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Interesting numbers. Seems very samey. I'd expect DP failures to drop once 1) annual leaves halts 2) dedicated parcel duties go in 3) agency arrive. Assuming those things are true for all offices, which is never a given in this uniform national operation.
Any Questions?
Yeah, how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?

Somebody is pulling those numbers out of their arsehole on a whim and presenting it as fact. Laughable lies from BIG COMPANY EXECUTIVES at GLS/RM

Crazy stuff. At least the shareholders will get their piece of the pie.

Why have the figures for achieving both targets - USO deliveries and combined Tracked - got worse towards Xmas??


Week 1 46% of delivery units hit both targets
Week 2. 42%
Week 3. 40%
Week 4. 40%
Week 5. 32%
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Presumably the answers are buried in the "volume and complexity of the data" which will no be laid bare for everyone to inspect on account of it being a corporate secret, no doubt.

Don’t the targets change? It might also be due to sick. We have a lot of people off at the moment. Seasonal bugs are particularly nasty right now.

Why don't these desk jockeys get off their backsides and visit the offices where the targets are not being met to find out what
the problem is?

Because they don't care about anything other than the profit margin. Are you new or something?

Why are you such a corporate RM sympathiser? Bizarre posts and behaviour considering this is an unaffiliated forum.

Well, Roy does pay their wages and thus give them a livelihood. It isn’t at all unusual to develop loyalty, even grudgingly, to one’s employer. And Roy is very special, of course ♥

But on the other side — and do enlighten us, please — why are you so obsessed with Roy? Very bizarre posts and behaviour considering you are an ex employee contributing so frequently to a forum intended for currently employed postmen, postwomen and postpeople.
