Anyone on here from the Southend office

Post by geordieboy123 »

Reserves and managers from the region are being summoned to the Southend office to help out and as this is an ODM pilot office I’m keen to find out what’s going on.

Would also be interested to know what's going on at Southend, rumours of local managers being taken to task by senior management.

Can`t have a pilot office failing can we? Wonder if we`ll have a repeat of the "fly `em into Derry" scenario?. RM spend a pound to save a penny. :crazy:

As one can see from the failing offices list, it's not on there. Ergo it can't be failing. Maybe there was a really big spill from an improperly packed Amazon item and Romec are overwhelmed :hmmmm
The machine stops.

We are a Pilot office , all over time has been shredded since Christmas. They don’t care about failing anywhere anymore as long as tracked and 1st class go out.

5 or 6 managers suspended
Warnings for driving being handed out left right and centre
Pressure being put on new starters and agency
Coaching notes appearing everywhere with no manager admitting responsibility
It’s a sh!t show toxic corrupt environment

It’s time for Royal Mail press release bingo!

Cards at the ready everyone:


5 or 6 managers suspended = Restructuring our leadership team

Warnings for driving being handed out left right and centre = Giving our valued colleagues driving tips and hints

Pressure being put on new starters and agency = Warmly welcoming our new starters and trusted agency workers

Coaching notes appearing everywhere with no manager admitting responsibility = Developing a new rewarding system whereby our colleagues are encouraged, anonymously

It’s a sh!t show toxic corrupt environment = Working at pace in an ever changing working environment where the well-being of our colleagues takes priority
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.
