She has led the development of a new workplace adjustments procedure and supported the project management of a major recruitment transformation.
She said: "Since the launch of the new platforms, I’ve been working in frontline recruitment, helping to attract and hire for some of our busiest roles, like posties."
How hard is it to advertise jobs and recruit people who are perhaps jobless or doesn't know what royal mail entails, including the shitty new contracts
Whatever happened to the RM postie apprentice scheme they launched a few years ago?
We had two, one got sack & eventually a 30k payout & the other one he's on long term sick after a dog bite, not had any since, was the idea s**t-canned
At least we no longer have "graduates" as managers. They'd always f**k things up with their stupid ideas and we'd end up going back to the old way a few weeks later. The "Time & Motion" studies were a waste of time as any ideas from them fall apart straight away when the porters get axed within a matter of days, or they don't have enough porters and we ended up bypassing it and just getting our own work.

When was the last time you had "porters" exactly? We had them for about precisely 5 minutes, 15 years ago at the DO's lol. It lasted less than a week.
Also the so called "graduates" as managers are still around in the DOs.

Haha same here, did you get one of those custom made wheeled trolleys that took about 12 trays so the porter could push it round the office feeding ips mail to the duty preppers ? It lasted about 3 days until they put the porter back on IPS

Lol yup, those custom made trolleys are stacked full of undelivered households, neatly trayed up every week now
Straight to the landfill
The amount of pretend job positions in the business is f***ing mind-blowing, yet they can't even pay delivery OPGs a livable wage.
There's a somewhat famous graph from the US of the number of doctors and the number of healthcare administrators. The former is pretty stagnant while the latter is growing substantially. The more money floating around the more is has to be captured at the top to prevent it filtering down.

On mention of the porter trolleys I started to wonder where ours had gone to since the office was reorganised. Are we in the same office or is this a national thing?
Does anyone remember World Class Mail? That initiative hasn't really aged well. Get rid of those empire builders who spout corporate jargon to justify their six figure salaries!!
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

It's certainly a national thing in that all the now defunct ideas were s**t and should never have seen the light of day

To borrow a line from Arthur C Clarke: 'Behind every operational practice stands thirty failures, for that is the ratio by which graduates'/planners'/senior management's ideas outnumber working ones'.
One of the worst ideas ever implemented in RM still going strong is park and loop. The idea of plotting loops of equal size between the driver and the non-driver that hasn't taken into account the massive increase in large parcels (that a separate parcel driver used to take) has resulted in either the van driver doing most of the heavy lifting while the non-driver hangs around on the street corner playing candy crush or driving round in pairs delivering them, which obviously must be inefficient.
And I've worked with some non-driving clowns in my time. There a few who won't get out and help delivering these parcels thinking that it is not their job when you are supposed to work in pairs; and other selfish pr*cks who use a trolley but won't take any shoebox size parcels or even small specials along with them that will fit in the other pouch.
