An Update - 2016 Australia Post vs the people of the Whirl Pool Forums


This is becoming a seriously slow and stale topic.

Because no one is using Australia Post any more...

And they have their couriers on speed dial.

But the while "currency" is slowing down and diminishing, it's a historically huge wide spanning photo shot, of staggering amounts bad service and gross mismanagement.

In terms of statistics, the variety of issues and the complaints, the resolution of complaints, the degree of satisfaction, and the decline on business, returning customers, and lost accounts,and the spiralling losses in revenue - coupled to the never ending "One dumb fuck managerial imposition after another" - it can all be charted, calculated, listed as points on a time line. a graph, etc....

Add in market penetration of new and emerging technologies....and their uptake...

It would be good to have a bill board sized chart, but about 6x as long...

And to manually compute and tabulate, to show how this organisation was run, and ran it's self into the ground.

I could do it... but would want to do it, and I'd have get get unrestricted access to all the data I ever wanted....

But when an scam artist banker, cum communications minister, gives a job to another scam artist banker, the flourishingly flatulent Mr. "I'm so Fucking Fabulous" Fahour...

And they set in train, dozens of really fucking idiotic ideas, that do nothing other that make the service worse, and piss off the customers, and to send this business into the biggest and fastest nose dive through staggering losses and into closure...

Kind of like giving the pilot a blow job, while pressing your arse up against the joy stick.

Quite a nice way to end it all for everyone on board - bailing out at the last minute with the stolen parachutes..
