Why Crozier failed Royal Mail

Post by POSTMAN »

Few quotes from todays ITV news stories :cfo
ITV’s senior managers will be subjected to psychometric testing as its new chairman and chief executive exert stronger controls over the broadcaster at the beginning of a five-year turnround plan.

Archie Norman, chairman, has described the company he found when he took over in January as “a shambles”, according to two people who had conversations with him in the past fortnight.
A person close to ITV said: “This is not about people having to reapply for their own jobs, it is about identifying the strengths and weaknesses in people so that they can improve their performance as members of the team.”
Having wowed the nation with brain-taxing shows such as the 'Krypton Factor' and 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire', ITV's top brass are now facing their own rigorous mental work-out - psychometric testing.

New boss Adam Crozier will put the broadcaster's 150 most senior staff through their paces with a series of mind-stretching aptitude exams.
So come on then,if he did that when he was here,what kind of tests would he have put our managers through then?

What is Psychometric Testing...

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.

An ink blot test:

Crozier: So tell me, what do you see in this pattern of dots?

Manager: a lapsed duty.

Crozier: and in this one?

manager: zero hour contracts.

Crozier: how about this one?

manager: full privatisation, the death of the union and a return to 16th century serfdom for the workforce.

Crozier: Congratulations, you've passed with flying colours. Here, have a bonus!

crozier has made himself a fortune in his various jobs,did he fail royal mail depends how you look at it for us as workers in my opinion he failed but the goverment seemed to think he did a good job turning round a failing industry to a profit but at a cost to us in the ammount of workers we lost and the way our conditions have been eroded.
