We had a meeting a while back at which all the proposed changes to the business were laid out. Changes in our hours and working practices. Changes to our priorities. Changes that have led to the current chaos. We were told that the emphasis these days should be on the corporate customer. It was what the corporations wanted that mattered. We were effectively being told that quality of service to the average customer was less important than satisfying the requirements of the big businesses.
Someone piped up in the middle of it. ‘What about Granny Smith?’ he said. He’s an old-fashioned sort of postman, the kind who cares about these things.

These days (and not just in the Royal Mail, everywhere) it's all about the faceless shareholding scum and upper management creaming the profits. The corporate machine is an anathema. Personally I'd love to see the destruction each and every multi-global corparation on the planet.
