Offices 'officially' in trouble?

[crazyshrew]

So where is Orkney on the list ?? Even Royal Mail admitting it's a mess (see news section)

I'm sure there are a lot of us on here eagerly checking to see our offices on the list.
Problem is the failures only count when they have been reasonably accurately reported by the local management.

When you walk around the office and notice no walk has had more than 50% taken out for days on end, and the manager is happily claiming that the % failed is only in the mid to high 20s.....

My manager took a some A/L last year and we had some nice decent folks in babysitting us and doing some accurate (honest) reporting...within a week we were on the list and the OPL was in to find out what had "suddenly gone wrong"

"Nothing" we told them, "if it's not been like this, it's been worse, and it's been that way for months!"

Things never got better and we never saw those nice babysitters again

Like a self-selected survey sample - it cannot be trusted. The only ones in a position of responsibility to independently verify the situation are Ofcom and they have washed their hands of it. I'm doubtful anyone will ever know what has truly been going on the last few years.

When a DO falls over and no-one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Pretty terrible state really. It’s a complete manipulation of the fail figures. Fresh faced newbie managers dutifully record fails, only to then be penalised and so learn to not dutifully record fails

How many units are there across the UK again? These failure reports are actually beyond laughable, a nasty symptom of success related bonus culture within the minority of RM employees, ie RM management

1,356 DOs according to Wikipedia, though I don't know how up to date the article is

1352 Delivery offices have successfully cleared this week then.

Well ours did not clear and has not cleared for months. If managers don’t record fails they don’t exist.

To quote from Postman's post "Units that report three consecutive days of 30% of DPs failing USO gets you on the list and public RM service disruption website. Then you need three consecutive days below 30% to get off the list (well below and back to stable USO)".

So it doesn't mean that 1352 offices cleared. It means that 1352 offices could have failed 100% of DPs on two consecutive days, but then cleared 71% of the DPs on the third day. They could repeat that forever and the wider world would be none the wiser.

So this also means that every office in the country could deliberately fail 29% of delivery points every single day and then keep the money saved to give to the shareholders.

What's that, news just in, this is what's already happening. Genius money saving idea RM, the service is running perfectly.

Per the disclaimer: "offices most impacted", so it's not even all the ones impacted nor even all of those since it is dependent on offices declaring they are in trouble. The list is almost meaningless.

The true state of affairs is unknown to all, and I include the company there because I believe senior management is more than likely wilfully ignorant in order to maintain plausible deniability ('rogue managers did it all!'). No-one wants a paper trail.

Most people in Continental Europe,Indonesia, and some in Britain, Ireland, and Canada, as well as Latin America, write 7 with a line through the middle, sometimes with the top line crooked. The line through the middle is useful to clearly differentiate the digit from the digit one, as the two can appear similar when written in certain styles of handwriting.
