Just ask your manager lol.I dont suppose theres anything wrong with embracing it if you can make it work for you.Theres staff in our place on static nightshift duties sitting on the early picking up there night allowance and have been for 18months theres even family friendly staff who insisted they could only do certain shifts doing it i think thats totaly wrong though when people cant get what they need on the floor and these cult members are doing that upstairs and havent sorted an item of mail in 18 months yet they insisted years ago they could only do nightshifts for family reasons.Some of them make the photos and arrows look that good on the boards they dont have to work fridays anymore.If the face fits n all that ya kna.Red Robbo wrote:Thanks guys for the education, getting to understand WCM already, now where do I sign up, could do with a shift change to watch the Euro 2012 Football for the next few weeks.![]()

Re: World Class Mail
I just love the fact that they give you PRIOR warning to them turning up to assess you for WCM.... Gives managers plenty of time to order staff about to clean up the building and stuff Artic's full of crap and hide them down the road...
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.

Re: World Class Mail
That sounds familier, when we had our audit there was a bin placed in every nook and cranny in the office, when the WCM Tean left they were all withdrawn never to be seen again, oh yeah and a broom to every 5 member of staff.

Regarding the Blog.
What gifts?
It's beginning to sound like some sort of religious cult, have any of you heard of Scientology?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditing_(Scientology)
What the hell does this mean?We had a terrific day on Friday 1st June, with our Auditors Mark Higson and Professor Yamashina.
We scored a terrific 38 points, advancing 8 points since our last Internal Audit in February 2012.
We still have so much to do and received many 'gifts' from the Auditors.

Re: World Class Mail
Since it's audited by Yamashina's own people i expect the Professor received many "gifts" in return.
Small denominations and unmarked of course.

It's what back handers are called in Japan you know.
Gift money means a back hander, I'm sure there is a literal Japanese translation for the term somewhere.

Re: World Class Mail

He has a taste for wine .... and we're not talking £5.99 Tesco either. At Greenford while the then MCM was re-selling the uneaten sandwiches from the WCM Audit in Quadrant the professor was given a case of fine wine and treated to a three course meal at a well known Indian Restaurant nearby together with the rest of the WCM 'gang' (not that the MCM wanted to affect the results of the audit you understand).fishtank wrote:Since it's audited by Yamashina's own people i expect the Professor received many "gifts" in return.

Re: World Class Mail
But when I was at school the staff, correctly, assumed that I knew how to ascend/descend the stairs without falling over the rails or bumping into other school children. We didn't need chevrons either on the running track to stop us colliding with the athlete in front.borders wrote:they have always said your school days were the best.

Maybe it's me, but WCM ideology assumes that every OPG is as thick as $hit and I find the whole process patronising. Fair enough improve things but get one Mail Centre/Delivery Unit right and then roll out the best practices to everywhere else at minimum cost ... Oh I forgot, what would happen to the WCM 'teams'?
