LCD TV's

Rowdy · Post by **Rowdy** » 23 Jun 2007, 14:11

Hi first proper post so don't know if this has been brought up before. I take it by now every office now has their new LCD tv's installed so we can have video chat's with Allan and friends. Can't wait. The figure being banded about my area is 3 grand each for these things and the equipment to run them. This is at at time when Royal Mail is claiming to have no money for a decent pay rise and cutting hours in our offices. I know of a transportation office with three people who have one and this is in the same yard as a delivery office with their own. Two tv's within 50 feet of each other. Is this really necessary. Also, these tv's are on standby 24 hours a day and as we know this consumes the same power as as if it were turned on. Hasn't allan noticed his electricity bill has gone up. Maybe this is just part of Royal Mails plan for ' Modernisation'. For me it is a complete waste of money and totally unjustifiable. I would like to know eveyones views on this matter, or even better if you have seen one working!

Those two idiots , Leighton & Crozier , are lying through their teeth again. If the business is really in the mire , how come over Â£15m
has been spent on these TVs ?

Ours has been in situ for about 4 months now , and been switched on twice to my knowledge.

Welcome Rowdy - we have had this before but you have brought a new angle on it well done.

I heard they cost about 6 grand each. They're a waste of time, ours have never ever worked. And it's true, they seem to think that barking orders and propoganda at us is going to make us more efficient. I'm surprised they haven't gone "walkies" yet....

Someone accidentally pulled the wires out of the back of ours when they had locked it on during full on propaganda time. The manager sure showed us (Dave the manager I mean, everyone say Hi to Dave) he took away the remote from our first line fix telly for a full day - we sure were told!

We have two for 160 one in the main sorting hall and one in the training room - though I don't remember when we last had any training in there. Oddly enough for the DVDs and Videos we were shown them on the usual 14inch portable - so there's a waste of money for you.

Just a note the new screens are plasma not lcd's which cost more to run but have better colour quality (although why we need better quality colours I don't know).

Ours only seems to show the RM screen saver (why not just turn them off), unless they have cameras in them and are recording us for future reference.

I should start a conspiracy thread (Big brother is watching YOU).
