Why would they give them a pay off if they have sacked them?
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.

To prevent them from talking to the press.
Or divulging any commercial secrets to the competition.
Or just as a big thank you for ensuring RM didn't have to pay any huge fines resulting from the real QofS figures being known.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

That's just the way it works with the old school tie /right side of the tracks family. Get to a critical level of status and you could strangle everyones mum and the least costly option is to pay you off.
Take for instance the MD of a construction firm, Caught, bang to rights stealing £6million . Paid off 1/2 a million simply because the publicity from prosecution would have wiped double the loot from the share price. Nice work if you can get it :chuckle

Any update to this? I've been hearing rumours that a certain senior manager who was 'allowed' to resign is claiming that the information was planted on his computer, and even named the culprit. All sorts of other stories about the number of staff at Glasgow still under investigation - plenty!!

Seems a bit odd when a whole wedge of managers are let go following a revelation of massive fraud and huge misappropriation of public funds combined with our union saying' we are like a dog with a bone on this one, no fear", Then total silence :hmmmm

The silence is deafening.

Well our union being NEARLY as corrupt probably had money appearing in their back pockets as El Money De Hush, that's why we hear nothing, and never will.

Union reps are far too friendly with management in GMC, and use us all as bargaining tools .. time to get another union in, a bit of competition for the union dinosaurs.

CWU are the only winners in the privatisation market as well, because they have gathered members from TNT and all the other DSA companies that are our COMPETITORS.

I digress . . .

Who's the winners .. not us .. CWU !!

Considering i'm constant early shift i very much doubt i'd deal with any night shift rep, or any rep .. they all had a spine-ectomy years ago, and are in no-mans land just now, nothing to do, nowhere to go.

I very much doubt anyone has a pro-union opinion in GMC unless, of course, they are a rep :wink:
