Forget the changes at the top. This company is changing rapidly over the last couple of months. Everything that is happening in Royal Mail is driving our job to the wall. Forced revisions, bad planning, lack of resources and everlasting penny pinching, total disregard of staff well being as well as lying to the paying customers. Service quality very poor.

This is deliberate action to keep the share price inflated. I think someone with with large stake in the company may be looking to cash in soon. Simon and top directors must own shares worth multiple annual salaries of a regular full time postie. Super dividend must cash them in thousands of pounds. I can't see anything positive at the moment apart from share price and upcoming dividend. Absolutely everything is pointing at the extreme saving measurers putting huge pressure on the staff trying to earn a living and do the job they used to enjoy.

These guys who are leaving the business, or most likely were told to leave will be paid golden goodbye, Royal Mail need the scapegoats.

If it was my call the next COO would be called Bianca.
Rickaay would have to report to Bianca.

One might suspect that life at the top is a bit like a soap opera

Ricky's got his hands on a much better role. He's been in the business for a while and doesn't want to play the role of COO because you can be axed and cast aside if you make the wrong call
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

This began as soon as RM went into private hands, you think it's bad now? let's look back in a year or 2 (if we are still working for RM) and reminisce on the good old days of 2021 :cry

You are right the process started as soon as the company become private equity. Unfortunately the process has accelerated recently. I doubt I'll be in RM in 2years time but anything is possible. Unfortunately the way company is going at the moment has full backing by our union leaders so I guess there no hope for us.

Watch the purge from the top of the company down start from here. I bet senior managers will be squabbling over their jobs and then the bullying will filter down to the front line. This is a new era and I expect further big change is coming. Sit tight and let's watch this all unfold.

That Ricky bloke is a nasty piece of work and awful bully boy, expect even more s**t from above.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Best days of Royal Mail are long gone, we are just another parcel company now like Hermes or Yodel.

Cant believe we used to go out on 2nd post less than 20 years ago and never fail a round. Job and finish the good old days :oops: :thumbdown :cry
