Auditors...what a con!

Post by General Mannerheim »

So this week we had an audit,lots of managers running around like headless chickens moving cardboard boxes,moving drop bags,moving personal effects off delivery frames,at one stage there was 18 managers in :shock: ,some from nearby offices to help con this auditor into what a great place the shithole is to work in. :roll:
Usually you can't move for parcels,D2Dustbins left strewn around festering for weeks on end,items are left on top of the frames that need killing off,even mail is left in as we are so short staffed but it all mysteriously manages to disappear when one of these clowns turns up! :no no Even the LWT managed to disappear off the landing bay area where they usually act as gravemarkers for all the dead and knackered posties who have since been medically retired. :so there
Why do they always announce they are coming,is it any wonder that the top brass think everything is rosey in the garden when this sort of shite goes on?
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Ive always said this , and get rid of managers, stuck in all day with numerous other dda / limping staff doing nothing when we are overloaded on delivery and that is where the customers are! Get the old time and motion men in and pay them just the 10 hours pay they actually work a week.

well this is it isnt it. they announce they are coming and as you say, they run around like headless chickens getting the house in order. the auditors wouldnt win any secrecy awards. if they arrived at all the offices without notice, most managers would be out of a job.

I say we should all chip in and pay for undercover tv reporters or workers to come in and present the evidence on tv.

Few years ago we had a manager who kept telling us to leave packets and would not pay for overtime to clear them.
When he found out that the auditors were due he asked all the transit drivers to fill up there vans with the packets and bring them back when the auditors left. We told him to f**k off.
He then got his linos to hide the packets in a storage cupboard and pretended there was no key :arrrghhh
We grassed him up to the auditors and guess what happened .
Absolutely nothing.
Good old Royal Mail

We had them.
Don't think it went well, because we barely saw the manager at all.
And when we did, they had a face like thunder.

Patience my man. Going by previous "government public service privatisations" the eradication of monkey D.O managers, will soon be upon us. Good times ahead.
Karma is a beautiful thing. Patience. Remember to sign his/her leaving card....

We had our Safety Audit, and whilst we were aware that it was scheduled a week in advance we made no changes to our environment or our usual practices.
