They're not taking it they're doing it up our backs and yes WCM is to be re-instated under this agreement - we should vote NO.

the more i hear about this deal the more dismayed i'm getting. the money is there to blind people of the reality of it. its only papering over the cracks. i can see us in delivery being well and truly shagged up the arse on this one,,,,again.

Is it? Or is it to be reviewed? Does it engage the staff, or just the select few? Glass half empty or half full?

Hahahaha

I gotta laugh.

All these people blowing their chests out saying '"I'll happily take my bonus and tick a big fat yes - I'll work my hours and that's that, nowt more, I'll show em.."

Dudes... you ain't got a bloody clue.

WCM ( REV.2 ) is going to be in every single corner of this business from 2014, from the bog paper when wiping your ass to the stopwatches counting your minutes doing your job, to the counters of how many times you go to pee.

I've worked for companies before and taken part in such introductions on a newly privatised business.

Mr. Shareholder will want to know:

How many times you fart
How many times you scratch your balls
How many times your discussing latest football results
How many times .........

And if you ain't making him money, he's going to crap on you from a very great height.

Read and remember this post people. We have all got our nuts felt/squeezed and poles rammed up hard.

And when you will whinge about it and by christ you will - guess what! there will be no-one to listen to your grievance cos you've signed your rights away.


Happy New Year.

They will not get the rest of us to be interested in wcm later on. I can see badges and certificates, perhaps wcm songs, but because of its poor start it will always be seen as a joke. The will soldier on but it will eventually quietly fade away, just like the name consignia.

Mr. Shareholder will want to know:

How many times you fart (15 times per day on average)
How many times you scratch your balls (Left twice, right four times per hour
How many times your discussing latest football results (All day at our place)
How many times ...(Ask my misses, im usually asleep when she has her way)......

Can someone just tell me what wcm means we've to do? I never seem to be able to get a straight answer at our place

Is there any crap in it meaning we've to be flexible with our finish times? Ordinarily, I'd tell anyone asking about finish times - If you want to finish on time, you tell
the management and you leave mail for covering. - But with all the silly small print, and sly managerial techniques, it's hard to keep track and get straight answers.

NO WCM is nothing to do with flexibility, lapsing or finish times. Behind it all being the 20/21st century version of a cure all elixir its basically "continual improvement " in the way we do things. It's meant to improve how we do things while working the same hours, how to make IPS more efficient, how to queue vans when loading so that the furthest to travel out can leave the quickest etc. Instead it's turned into silly pictures, lessons on how to walk and ghost footprints on the stairs.

If they had done it properly it might have improved things, but now is a comic book skive for people who want to do "make work", for people who tick boxes for a living, reporting to people who don't even know what the difference is between a 48 frame and an IPS backless.

The last time we tried loading vans on the landing, bearing in mind our landing holds about 8 vans and it wasn't furthest away duties first, we had vans queuing out the yard and down the street.

Seems to me that WCM is as good or as bad as the people that are involved with it. It's just a set of tools that can be used to identify and resolve problems. I've seen some good examples and some not so good but that's the point of the audits. Hasn't really got going in delivery yet but it's coming.

Let's just leave it at that! :whistle
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.
