The fucking Royal Mail are taking the piss even more now. Apparently 7:30pm is now a reasonable delivery.
From someone who saw two deliveries a day not so long ago, that's ridiculous. They must be really skint.
It's the billionaire owner forcing through ridiculous cuts to staffing levels, so that he and the shareholders can make even more profit.
I've heard that the current plans being forced through are that 3 people will do the work of 4, regardless that 4 people were already struggling with their own already increased workload.
The customers and the staff suffer, but as long as the owner and shareholders make more money, that's all that matters

.
As long as they're OK, that's the main thing, huh!
Fucking Ofcom have no teeth with regards to this. The just fine the company a few million every couple of years for missing their letter delivery targets. As if that is going to bother a billionaire.
The whole thing is headed for a huge train wreck, and fuck knows what will happen then.
Agency / cover staff work the afternoon / evening shift and pick up some of the workload.
One of my mates works for RM, and he sure loves whinging about the state of things. Tbf, he does seem to have valid complaints.
The whole operation should never have been privatised and sold to a foreign billionaire. It's a service, especially with regard to the mail. It'll never be profitable in rural areas.
