They are part of the equipment that records RFID items in transit.. one when it entres mail centre, one when it leaves mail centre, one when it enters D.O. and one when it leaves D.O. we get daily updates on how our office is performing thanks to them. Theory is that it can see where in the pipeline there is a blockage... everybody blames MC, but in reality, we are hitting 99% of test letters to time and these things prove it. Radio Frequency Identification Data RFID.

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.

Re: new strange looking scaner thing over doors
We have had the crap hanging over our doors for about 3-4years now they flash when you go near them we have card ID's with your mug shot on,they tell us that they are not scanning us going in and out,we dont care if they are really because we have not got any managers with a back bone in our place only yellow bellys that like bullying staff, they go round in packs as they get scared if they have to go out on thier own

We will shortly be required to have our a###'s barcoded by tattooing, and will have to bare them to the scanner going in and out of the building.
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile
