Thompsons view of the talks

[scoobydo79]

So there you have it. While agreeing to talks with the union He had already prepared the redundancy announcement well in advance

[k979aaa]

Why can he just talk on his workplace pile of shite and gob off about negotiations that one cannot be bothered to attend? or is so bereft of ideas he cannot give input? And is happy to slag the union off and by the way 97% of us all in the union!

Last weeks strike we had the best turnout yet - this will just infuriate more people
Just hope there’s even more on the picket lines on Thursday

to be honest, i can't wait for the ''rolling strikes'' to start to see how he likes those 'apples'. and that's not because i relish being on strike, but these one day stoppages just don't seem to be bothering him. once the strikes escalate i think he'll be ousted from his perch.

I am still thinking if we can't see the bigger picture or there isn't any. I mean by all accounts he seems like genuinely not interested in finding a solution. He seems almost damaging the company on purpose. There goes the question. Where are his directors, surely there is somebody with a little bit more understanding of this business and the fundamental issues, those people should go against him before there is nothing left from royal mail. Given how many employees work in operations, he has no chance whatsoever pushing his agenda through without people on board. I agree that either he is destroying the company purposefully so it eventually become worthless and is going to be bought up on the cheap or he is just a clueless, narcistic man whose only ambition now is to destroy cwu and royal mail and enjoy his personal pyrrhic victory.

Well said that is all he is a fire starter so he can sell it low price possible rip terms and conditions up it no one buys it just jump ship and do one well the CEO should just: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwYN7mTi6HM

He's certainly not enjoying the piss taking memes

Total and utter narcissist.

[POSTMAN]

He's gone a bit nuclear on there lately-extremely petty in his posts.

[blacov]

The fact he spends considerable amount of time on the social media type of website gets offended by sarcastic replies to his gas-lighting posts makes him hard to take seriously. If I were a part of cwu negotiating team I'd demand he gets serious and for a start tells the truth about what is is he wants.

I am thinking where are his directors? The longer they stand aside makes me think they are all in this together for personal (financial benefit) that comes from selling all of part of the company. Us and customers are just collateral damage in their game. Seems like cwu is the last and hardest obstacle to achieve what they have already planned.

Lets go back to the moment he first tanked the shares with his statement to the market. Although we all knew and certainly investors and market analytics knew revenue will slow down and profits will be down, he comes up and paints it all in the darkest colours, yet only little over 6months earlier he was selling the dream by pushing with his revisions and effectively lying to the markets. Pandemic windfall boosted the profits and instead of looking at the company long term he paid shareholders hundreds of millions and now we went from 700m+ profits to an operating loss of around 250m.
I am baffled as to why he is in the job but then we need to look at him like his actions are all for a reason and yet again everything is pointing towards selling up or at least breaking the gls from royal mail.

Whilst obviously Thompson is a lying predator I feel the union need to explain themselves. Dave Ward has said several times that RM are going to make a new improved pay offer this week coming but Thompson has said today that this is completely untrue. Dave Ward has also said the strikes have made RM come back into ‘talks’ but again Thompson has denied that these are actually real talks or negotiations? So have the Union been bullshitting us that our strikes are having an effect? I get the CWU have to try keep spirits up but honestly I would rather just be told the truth, we get enough lies from Royal Mail.

There is something very needy about his online behaviour, like he needs to be loved. A psychiatrists wet dream.

[k979aaa]

Who is to say he is not on here as we post we don't know but I do have an inkling of who he maybe.

[norris9]

He's taken to posting about instances where's he's been picked on or ridiculed, and subsequently naming and shaming those who react to his posts with laughing emojis. He's absolutely unravelling. As an aside, I genuinely don't understand how a CEO can spend so much time being active on Workplace. He must be the most overpaid social media intern in history.

He's an internet troll. We have an internet troll as our CEO.

Who put this geezer in charge!?

I'd say cwu is being repeatedly lied to by simon and they are working with they are told or at least hinted by him. Then he comes up completely opposite only days later. I might be wrong. I can only imagine this is difficult for them too as Simon isn't honest at all.

Some of You have hit the nail on the head. The others have it seems distanced themselves from Him. I suspect they don’t want to be remembered as the guys that trashed RM , added a few thou people to the dole Q and lost thousands of the value of the shares.
