ONE HELL OF A COCK-UP ...PART II

Post by cheekychoppy »

After such a 'cock-up' of a revision ( 1st part ) I thought things could only get better.... how wrong I was, the Initial recreation of new walk routes have been done by the " walk-planner" OH MY GOD..was the first reaction, FOR EXAMPLE they've made deliveries ( 2 to a van ) that before consisted of 1500 drops and had over 90 !! knock-ons daily.. BIGGER !!! YES BIGGER !!!
Apparently the new revised route planning programme has deemed the THEY WEREN'T BIG ENOUGH...unbelieveable. Also walk holders are trying to tell this 'planner' or what ever he is that the results are unachievable and are miles out but are being told bluntly "tough" the computer isn't wrong.The size of the deliveries that this programme is churning out is just ridiculous no way could be completed in the time scale, when these duties are finally implemented into the office can you imagine having to go in every day to the thought of constant bullying & harassment by managers aimed at you cos the work loads are immense.

I do not have to imagine, no.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Nor me .for last 2 and half years
Why is cwu still going ahead with
This / these revisions
When they know the impact the b and h
Is having on the members
Has nothing at all been learned from
These catastrophic failures ?
Royal dont give a s**t about abiding with
The agreement ,
Anything that was in the members favour
Has been taking away
And dont get me started on the lump sums
Or the trouble you get for standing up to them
Good luck and be strong

When you get to phase 4 and the office gets to vote on whether it accepts the revision I would expect your office to be just as blunt when you tell them where to stick their revision.
See how "tough" your planner is then. :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Welcome to our world mate. I would say chin up, stiff upper lip, and all that; but you're doomed. Get ready for the daily arguments from everyone who aren't YES!!!men.
