‘Each and every one of us plays a crucial part in the transformation ahead,’ said Stuart. ‘We really can’t do it without you. Think about the part you can play.’

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Blah, Blah, Blah.

Same as before.

If they are serious about transformation, then bring it on.

Two years to open a Hub for large parcels, to paraphrase that tennis player "You cannot be serious"

DPD, Yodel, Hermes et al all seem to do the job in a lot less time.

Serious about transformation? Then sack your buyers and bring in people who know how to buy good equipment at a reasonable price.

Work place sessions - talk, talk, talk and then do nothing.

The list is endless and Neighbours starts in 5 minutes.

No detail, a worthless piece of video.

The company has no ambition or drive to be innovative.

They only see profit in cuts, cuts and more cuts. Not a way to run a business.

The company is a shambles and only held together by postman/women, the management are crap and are not fit for purpose.
CUT OFF!!!

100% agree with this.They haven't got a clue what the want to be and even as they would admit are 10 years behind in automation.
The only idea they have is to cut cut and cut.
There is no clear leader and no clear strategy.The is reflected in offices up and down the country an absolute shambles from top to bottom.
As least with the likes of Terry Pullinger etc you can somewhat relate.You might as well have a robot talking to you in these RM videos uninspiring,tired same old sh*t from the RM.

Just reading from a cue behind the camera. Not at all inspiring or relatable. He says nothing, it's all rubbish buzzwords

2 and a half years in and I'm so disillusioned by this company. Its a joke

Honestly, all this talking sounds to me like a funeral, especially the tone of his voice resembles remembering a deceased person.

Sorry but this guy is reading a hymn sheet of privatisation this is no inclusive deal this is one man ranting and raving about how he can indoctrinate you all and feather his nest ie pension sorry this is a far a conclusion of the business we better start digging in because with fools like this there will be nothing left but a burnt scarp of paper!

Agreed, 2 years and a claimed £1.8 bn for the parcel hubs just seem like astounding figures.

I'm probably grasping at straws but I can only hope they've massively over exaggerated both of those figures so they can award themselves huge self congratulations (and probably huge bonuses) when they come in under time and under budget.
