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: volume
Date: August 2010
Collection point volume counts
Audience: postmen and women on collections
Background
• Over the next few weeks we need to gather data on the amount of mail collected from all of the collection points on your route.
• This includes mail from Postboxes, Business customers and Post Office counters.
• You will need to count the amount of mail you collect.
• The data will be used to assist with national and local planning activity.
• We will need to start counting immediately to complete by 3 September 2010.
Key messages
[Note to managers: please run through the process for counting with your people]
• Mail from each collection point will be recorded on [Managers: please state which day they will be recording volumes].
• I will give you a route card that lists your collection points for you to record volumes against. These must be handed back to me at the end of your duty.
• Low volumes of mail from Postboxes can be counted as the total individual items.
• Higher volumes of mail from Postboxes can be estimated to the nearest five or based on a “red bag” volume.
• For business and Post Office counter mail the number of trays or bags and their fill level need to be counted.
• I have a guide for you on fill levels [Managers: please share the A4 handout].

Re: volume
I honestly thought they decided what the figures were going to be, to justify their cuts, then massaged the actual figures to suit.

Re: volume
A 200 page Screwfix catalogue ... and a flimsy Ikea "thing" - do they both count as "one item" ? If the answer is "yes", is this where the real problem lies - because to me the definition of "volume" implies 3-dimensional ... and "weight" is but another story ... 
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...
