This is whats wrong with Royal Mail

Post by hero22 »

The Robin app has highlighted why the Royal Mail is in the state it is and how it got there. The amount of drivel
Posted by managers like that below sums them up. Print out a few sheets with graphs, point at them, take a pic then post. Job well done, bit of back slapping and o to the next office to repeat the farce.

Sickening

When profits become more important than quality this happens.

What profits, does RM on it's own actually make any profits?

As far as the graphs, who do RM Senior Management really think ever look at them as I've never seen another postie ever look at them? If they ever did they probably wouldn't have a clue what they show anyway.

If you’ve got time to look at graphs, you’ve got time to take your lapsing

This company must be really top heavy in people like them paying out big money while front line staff are struggling to get the job done .

I am going to say "Yes", although i don't think it has been in the companies interest to declare any profits until they either, (a) Get rid of letter delivery completely (b) Get the USO so watered down that they can get away with delivering letters when they feel like it.
Also probably not while the workforce are looking a payrise.
Feckers aren't they!

The comment from Gerard Murray underneath the photo is priceless.
"Really proud of the way everyone ... has embraced SQCDPE. The strand leads and COMs have put a huge amount of work into building the cadence and using the boards to drive real actions."
In its own jargon-filled way just those three dozen or so words and acronyms say a huge amount about what's wrong with Royal Mail.

That whole robin app is filled with shite like that. Whenever i accidentally scroll on it I feel like I’ve had a stroke and slipped into an alternate reality where things actually work in delivery offices. We all know it’s the exact opposite.
The whole app is just a torrent of happy clappy toxic positivity GO TEAM horseshit from bellend managers looking to climb the corporate ladder.
