Apparently my Black Star 4503 has now made it all the way from Wembley to the Hermes hub in Dunstable, thats quite impressive given that it was only dispatched yesterday but bloody annoying when it has been driven past so many local Hermes centres to get there. Surely each centre is capable of deciding if it needs to go the national hub or could be dropped at one of the more local hubs for local sub distribution to the delivering branch? It surely has to be a fuel efficient and less damaging to the environment?
Same reason we still have cubicle farms. If there's nobody there for management to manage, how do they justify their obscene paychecks...? If the packages don't all go to some centralized sorting center, where managers can managle them, why have the management and the centralized sorting center?
We have such centralized systems for the convenience of a few overpaid douchebags and their need to keep the people who do the work under their thumb, so they can justify their otherwise generally clueless and useless existence. IME, 1 in 10 members of management are actually necessary; and those are usually the lowest-paid ones considered "working management" on the production floor.
Shockingly, the best-paid are almost universally the
