South west region been pulled too. Planners have been put back into deployed failing offices To try and sort them out :chuckle.

They originally planned for 80% walk sequence but in reality the offices are recieving about 58 % add to that the 100 BSI Shite and it all falls into place.
It seems the right honourable Richard Hooper was right about RM managements innability to manage a modernisation programme.

Hello all.

My office in the North West Midlands was due to start P&L in April. April came and went...
Then the DOM announced it would start June 6th ( d-day, lol). Fail.
Another announcement early July: it will start on August 8th. Re pick of duties started.
Late July: Re-pick halted due to EVR people no longer leaving.
Last week: Re-pick continues.
I suspect the problems elsewhere are part of the reason for the delay, find solutions before implementaion. Not wanting to have another office fail like so many others.

That suggests a process of rational thought. Fairly safe to say that we can discount that then.
If our current experience is anything to go by, no lessons whatsoever have been learned from earlier fiascos.

Very true S4W, until the managers stop telling lies upwards then it'll never get fixed, they lie and lie and lie to make it work and then just blame us for any failure.

our office had its revision suspended was told area had to laspe up to 3 duties for foreseeable future! am on hols this week with another chap found out friday our rounds have been laspsed surprise surprise starting next week so have to fill in from now on (what a joke) even though there are plenty of reserves to do this anyway. Makes you laugh as boss allowed to take on 2 new staff one which starts this week who will move straight onto vacant walk. our town used to have 10 town walks and with latest laspses has been reduced to 6. Boss took long weekend off wont be back til tues when we are all supposed to take the extra alleged 23mins work which in reality is more like 40 in some cases this surely is a case of revision by the back door!!

Don't mock.
It might be platonic.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Perhaps we should do a phantom shares tactic.
Take the revision money ,then with hand on heart and all feeling that we want to progress together into the bright new future of the cooperative sunlit uplands,but circumstances have altered and we can no longer deliver cost savings and management can kiss their bribe farewell :whistle
Bye

Plus do you want to redo the tile to 'Revision Activity to be suspended?'
More like more bullying and harassment from managers to continue the failed revisions using trolly's that take so much longer and 4-5pm finishes. If you even so much as threaten to cutoff then its into the headmasters office and testing/monitoring will take place. But of course when they return with their tail between the legs admitting it is 2hrs over, what gets done? Yip.

Oh, anyone would have thought me bitter and already gone through revision :Very Happy

You're right :crazy: - the bloke who did your revision must be a sandwich short of a picnic.

Well I've been busy with the jobs she who must be obeyed keeps giving me - fortunately the weather has been my saving grace for a while - tomorrow is supposed to be fine so it'll be up the ladder. Your planner should have been sent to us maisy, ours wasn't a sandwich short - he was short of the whole picnic basket :shock: incidentally he's still here on and off trying to "tweak" it.
