sounds very familiar. some empty head who gets paid a lot of money thinks we can suddenly just complete no matter what day without pressure overtime just because its summers and 'figures' say so. they live in a dream world

if you think this is happening and you think it may not be fully getting reported, ie items counted exactly and reported correctly then i would email moya anonymously about it, you might see some interesting results

Excuse my ignorance of matters technical,how on earth do you email someone ,"annonymously"?
Knowing what they are like they will probably just write it off to a disgruntled member of staff and everything will carry on as before. "Nothing to see here ,everybody back on the bus".

set up an email address as disgruntledpostie@hotmail.com or something similar and send email to justsayit@royalmail.com and they dont just write it off, the office that deas with emails to moya are very very proactive regardless of if a name attached to the email

people being given totally unworkable indoor workloads and intimidated into doing it (most won't, but it leads to unwanted aggro/stress)

forget about ANY day off applications being honored.

0 extra staff being brought in, even on temp contracts.

15% staff on holiday weekly

15% staff on sick weekly

the office getting cleared, even on quiet days, by the skin of their teeth.

office failing mail, at end of each week.
our office bin 45 percent of households weekly thanks to the biffa bins long live the bins :nana

No D2D for the last two weeks, we're collapsing an extra walk until September but to be honest it's very quiet at the moment.
