Yeah wonder if they're telling their managers to start reporting failures truthfully which will in turn increase the list quite rapidly with the end plan being to plead the only resolution is an immediate USO change.

My old office is on this latest list.
I think it's been on before, but not for a few years.

I won't mention which one, but talking to a few of my ex colleagues recently, I can't say I'm surprised.
Staff leaving left right and centre, high sick levels, walks not being covered on Wally weeks, new starts lasting a few days, etc.

Sad to see a once great company being decimated by mismanagement and greed.....

I think it's bigger than that, you could say it's a shame to see the whole world decimated by mismanagement and greed. It must just be human nature, maybe agent Smith was right when he called humans a cancer on this planet...

Will RM try to use the fact that RM trial offices don't appear on the fail list as evidence that the trial works?

I doubt it, they had to put 1000s of hours into those delivery units to clear.
Remember, this will save 300 million per year!
