RMCtv : Simon ' Back to the future' Thompson : Regardless-there will be no back pay

Simon Says

we cannot afford it - the cost of back dating the pay - has been spent on the impacts of - industrial action (£100m to end October) - we are reviewing the impact of the December IA days very soon…..
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.

Say about £80 a day x 96,000 striking posties. £7.5 million per strike day x 18 strike days = £135 million. (Back of a fag packet calculations, but gives a good indication)

But then they lose £1.2m each day down the back of the sofa! Was £1m before the strikes and after the dividend payout so the strikes mustn’t be costing them that much. Some dodgy accounting going on to say the least.

Dave is right Thompson doesn't want to end IA he wants to end Royal Mail as we know it.

No money for us,

but big bonuses for managers, massive bonuses for CEO, massive payments for share holders. Money for 11000 agency workers, money for managers to get proper VR, money for excessive hire vans.

History will judge Simon Thompson as the man who destroyed a 500 year old company. I know other board members are backing him but he’s the CEO so will take all the blame

Just leave ASAP please Simon. Take your millions and just leave us alone now.

You may very well be replaced by someone with a similar remit but i cant imagine anyone could bring about as my toxicity as you have managed in your short time with Royal Mail.

All this cant be making you happy, surely? Go and do some volunteer work maybe chap.

Thing is simon nothing gets sorted on social media.
Agree to talks
Start by taking all you want of the table
and talk attend everyday and reach a common ground
a deal could be done very soon dependent on the T/C amendments
we all agree some change will be needed but telling us dictating to us is not the way!
