DK visiting Southend?

Post by A2B »

Was told this morning that the main man was due to visit the Southend office today, anyone able to confirm or deny?

Not aware of him visiting any other offices before

Sorry, I really couldn't resist posting that picture.


I heard a rumour that MW might be coming to town, I hope he's not offended! :chuckle

No doubt they had loads of managers coming in to clear walks that have been stacking up so they could show him a lovely gleaming clear office!!!

Little would he know that's the best financial decision he could make: busting them back down to OPG.

Don't just clear your inbox, clear your office
The machine stops.

From what I understand there is no chance of that!

I know they don't always like hard graft (that's why they became managers) but I do recall times when they had to go out on deliveries. Admittedly, they were quite rare occasions but when we had fixed USO obligations they were often forced to go out.

And even though they make a big deal about prioritising the Tracked items; I've often come back to the office to find several Yorks full of Tracked parcels in our area that haven't gone out.....

There was a film crew in around 10-11am but they kept us well away from them
Not sure what happened after that
But it’s ok because 5-10% of our colleagues are still off with work place stress and injuries from the chaos of the past few months

I'll look forward to the video of DK speaking to a "postie" wearing a suspiciously new looking uniform complete with ill fitting hiviz telling him how good the new way of working is compared to before and how much they're loving working in partnership with management. :crazy:
