My traffic figures are wrong

Post by POSTMAN »

Aint had one of theses for a while so here goes.

MANAGEMENT not US are recording traffic figures in parts of London,and my office's figures are 10% down on what the MC tells us.

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.

In our postcode area DOs are supposed to count Yorks, trays of mail and flats. The only problem is that the mail and flats come mixed on Yorks so no accurate count is viable without dismantling every York containing trays! So it is the usual guesstimate of the quantity. Whether it is guess work or an accurate count our DO figures always differ radically from what we have actually received from the MC. Invariably we record more mail entering the DO than left the MC :hmmmm

Yet another paper exercise for RM to use and abuse as it sees fit, alongside keeping the backroom staff in full-time employment at RM HQ while posties are clinging on by their fingernails to their own full-time jobs! :cuppa

Invariably this is down to traffic not being scanned by your night shift as they put it onto the yorks.
