The money WCM seems to be costing and for what you get in return RM may aswell set fire to all their money

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I keep hearing about WCM but other than seeing some grinning loonies in The Courier banging on about how they put a set of trainer shoes on a wall :left: I STILL HAVE NO f***ing IDEA WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT?
Somebody give me the Dummies guide to WCM please.

Continuous cost cutting - under the guise of involving the staff in H&S initiatives.

The idea about the training shoes is part of the safety pillar.
You put 3 pairs on the wall,a new pair,a pair worn to the point where you should order new trainers and a pair in dangerous condition.
It's an idiots guide to safe footwear condition.
Not that I'm bigging up WCM but judging by the condition of some members footwear it's one of the better ideas.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Instead of trying to teach you how to suck eggs, & being patronising, maybe RM should practice what they preach. When uniform/footwear is ordered, it shouldn't take 6 mnths to arrive!

In fairness FT it's getting more and more difficult to order footwear, of course needing new ones every 3 months seems to be beyond their comprehension :nervous

Weve been working indoor like this for a year,,,,,were an office with approx 40% partime so this indoor flow doesnt work because there isnt enough bodies to man all the positions at 6am.
sooooo for a year the screws have been paying 2-3 hours over time per man per day to part time staff to muck in LOL

were supposidly having the out door park an loop revision soon,,,it keeps getting put back so till then they have to throw loads of money at the indoor side to make it work.

we have 6 primary sorters,,,,,4 packet sorters....2 letter porters,,,,1 packet porter....

personally i d rather do the primary or prep walks

cant be doing with all that portering and walking before i go out on delivery.

its a bit of a tw@t prepping some mornings cos in there wisdom they have you TRYING to prep 5 walks LOL it doesnt happen,,,,,i can keep up with 3 walks if theres alot of mail on the primary so giving you more time to prep

in short its a load of sh@te and seems to be a waste of money

It is a load of shite and a waste a money.
But, be fair, they are the only two things RM are actually any good at.
Scratch that. They're f***ing brilliant at it. :Very Happy

I rather got the point of that from the bullshitter,what i'm on about as a grunt is just what does WCM mean for us posties?
I mean and a lot of other people in our office think that it's something done by super hero type posties able to leap small fences and huge mounds of dog s**t, whilst wearing your cagoule as a cape ,how does the fact my shoes have a hole in them affect shoving a few pieces of paper through a letterbox and making it world class...or is it more to deal with RM using the blame route as normal?
