Great to see so much agreement on this farce but our union could do a hell of a lot more to hi-light this farce.

The place was a tip.

It seems the only time it is kept tidy and nice is when an audit is to take place - is that how WCM = wasting company money, is supposed to work!!
Loaded all the crap into an artic and park it around the corner from the MC....

That's what they did in OUR MC recently when we were up for inspection!!!

2 hours after inspection, artic returns and un-load all the crap back into the MC..
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

WCM all the way !!!
Massive support from myself and my family, thanks to the incompetance of all those involved, introducing new ways of working that drag the job out making it last longer with more staff and more overtime...we are having a great summer holiday due to the money I have earnt.
I say lets keep it going a few more years, I fancy an Aston Martin and a new 5 bedroomed house.... ha ha ha.

The professor and his family back home must be having a great laugh at the way the Royal Mail sheep have brought into an idea and payed his family a geat deal of money BAAAA bAAAA!!!!

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream.
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Swinging chain means warm seat.

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.

Rather than continuing to spend money on WCM as if it were a never ending 'money pit' I would do the following:

1. Allow 3 months for WCM sites to complete existing activities and at the same time set up a national forum (CWU/RM) to benchmark the benefits achieved by this initiative with the emphasis on Health and Safety 1st and Cost Effectiveness/Productivity 2nd.

2. For months 3-9 allow deployment of 'known benefits' to all WCM sites and scale down project.

3. Ongoing ... from month 9 onward allow new WCM sites to come on board only if they can deploy with existing structure. WCM project teams to be re-deployed or offered VR.

I work at the new Medway Mail centre and that is supposed to be a WCM flagship. However, some of the practices are quite shoddy over sorting of rlb, vagues etc. People are not always told right what they are supposed to be doing, and still there are not enough people for the jobs in the mailcentre.

They love different charts and their kaizan's. I wonder though, how much they really take on board any suggestions from us, the shop floor people. Also, if only wcm equated to world class managers all round!! :nana

I've never walked about so much since joining a WCM centre. The mini Yorks are crap and do nothing for your back and shoulders.

World Class Mail equals job creation for Guvnors. Remember a few years ago when they were told they would have to apply for their own jobs and some of them would be going and they were shitting? Well no worries now! f**k us (posties), customers and the public - as long as we have nice graphs and stuff plus guvnor mug shots on the walls who cares?

Some of our guvnors went to Swindon today for deliveries - are Swindon out?
How much worse can it get? A LOT F****** WORSE !!!
