I think they actually pay people to come up with these half-arsed titles.

Yeah, like lapsing turned into resourcing to workload. Somewhere in a boardroom meeting someone is being paid to come up with new ideas to improve the company, and their latest bright idea is to change the names of the words.

Yes apparently the most new pearl of wisdom is STUTA better known as stuff them up the anus - they're obviously too refined to use arse.Jpro747 wrote:Yeah, like lapsing turned into resourcing to workload.

What I think you're referring to is Indoor Work Flow, which is effectively an attempt at indoor efficiency. (Its where they provide backless IPS fittings, porter trolleys, mini-york containers and dedicated sorters, porters and prep'ers)
Whilst it is not really World Class Mail it is understandable that you make the mistake. It is after all throwing money and resources into trying to fix something quickly which has worked through evolution over many years only to find that it the end result isn't on a par with the outlay.

Its all about saving a few measly seconds on the indoor bit in a pathetic attempt to cut down on overtime costs.

Re: world class mail back on ?
This company really is a Bloody Joke....It's a good job nobody's lives rely on us
It just seems to be a continuing GAME played by suited Buffoons trying to rearrange the deckchairs on the Bloody Titantic.
Wouldn't it be nice just to try and get on with our job.....Which is by the way, for any Management that happen to be trollin the site, posting letters through peoples letterboxes!
It's got bugger all to do with sitting on your arse in the office, trying to fiddle the figures you enter into the countless number of reports. Just to ensure you keep your immediate "Superior" happy and ensure you secure you latest Un-earned bonus.

Process Improvement does work and Royal Mail needs this to happen... BUT
Not the way they are doing it. I cringe at the examples and methods they are using. It really is that bad.
