this could be the most important post yet.royal fail have run down the service to such an extent that they are now begging staff to bail them out of the hole they have created.tell them where to go and enjoy the reaction from the management when they realise how far they have gone.

priceless.
who the hell invests £2 billion into a servic and makes it worse?????????????

I thought I remember reading on here somewhere that Bristol was getting rid of their packet sorting machine. Time you load the packets into whatever container you use for them machines isn't it nearly as quick to manually sort them?

When you have an IWT and Delivery Methods revision you will understand.
Not enough indoor work on a tuesday is the major problem.

I like fridays.
Some fridays my delivery span shrinks all the way down to 3hrs.
It's like 1995 all over again. :nana

Our DOM had some ear bashing from above last week ( his bosses )..
In the tuesday brief we was told ...if you can't do it we dont want you type sheech. :Boo hoo! ..He wanted to know WHY our office was in the top 10 for performance in the UK ( B-P/L ...before park and loope ) ..now where down in the bottom of the bowles of Satan.. :wave ..performance wise
" you where all finishing on your time before ( P/L ) so whats changed" was his question :arrrghhh
Finishing late on IP doesn't help, ( never has even b4 P/L ) Now his muppets are counting the mail in the fittings for the ones who are leaving ( loopes ) as well as having a photo taken of the fittings...........( theres some bloody good job still left at RM :roll: ).in the future we will have a one 2 one ( with mate or U rep ) in the office to discuss WHY it was being done before and not now..
I myself is dreading what shite rounds are left when the repick kicks in...
As for what we are going to do during Christmas :crazy:
We where once told in a brief some years ago...'If you dont like the job you know what you can do ' :Sick AND that was from one of the top gaffers...

Why do I get the feeling that xmas this year is going to be an even bigger f**k up all round the country, even if we don't get any snow?
