What happened to Simon Thompson?

Post by nim84 »

What happened to the most hated man in Royal Mail history, yes the whole 500 years. When he left disgracefully last May, he was removed from workplace, allowed to post a resignation message and that's it. He has disappeared of the face of the planet, not a word since. A quick Google search only shows him as a laughing stock. Seems a bit strange that the big man is nowhere to be seen. Is it the end of his business career or is he having a change of heart, maybe he is hiding in the far east, and converted to Buddhism. Any ideas anyone?

He’ll end up as CEO of some other major company. His type always floats.

Well before he came to us he was high up in the Covid track and trace disaster that wasted billions.

Clearly a Tory crony on the Tory gravy train, leaching billions from taxpayers like they do.

But they're out of power soon so hopefully Thompson will never work again.

Probably sitting in his mansion somewhere and bouncing his grandkids on his lap and telling them how he brought the once proud cwu to its knees🤓

Not sure what has happened to Simon Thompson, but what I do know is the lying scumbag should be serving a custodial sentence at HMs pleasure, the perjuring c**t.

I couldn't give a f**k.
Hopefully, the odious little pri*k is suffering an attack of guilty conscience, but I doubt it. He's probably continuing living his happy, money obsessed life, content in the knowledge he's part of the team that have screwed over staff and customers alike....

No idea where he is, I hear karma is looking for him as well, and it’ll find him.

At the end of the day Thompson was only the front man taking orders from Keith Williams the chairman who’s still there. Break the cwu & the workforce job done.

There's a few ex CEO's or soon to be be ex, you do wonder who would ever employ again, but you can guarantee they'll all get another similar job, it's a bit like football manager's, they never seen to be out of work for long.

He'll probably replace this guy who cropped up on the news this week, but with a pay rise

Why has Simon Thompson not been replaced yet? (It was October 2023 he departed)
Has the role been scrapped to save money?

Certainly, the CWU may look at the appointments with interest, having cautiously welcomed the appointment of Martin Seidenberg. Saying “We also await with interest, the forthcoming appointment of the Royal Mail CEO“
