It always seems to be revisions. I know it was certainly the case for one office on this list recently.

Wonder if a resurrection squad will be flown in like when a school is put in special measures.

So do you have ‘high levels of sickness’? The standard RM excuse for making an office fail.

Actually we do have high levels of sickness, but letting too many people off on holiday has been the main problem.
We only had two actual posties last week the rest are agency so its not good.

Probably, and I'm genuinely just spit balling here, but it's probably because the duties are too f***ing long now? You know just like the rest of the entire country...

Very good, you could be right as our manager was off for a few weeks and a new manager stood in for him.

It would be useful to have a copy of the sheet the managers use to record fails. Then we could send in the accurate version in a format they can’t argue with.
