Is Mark Higson the worst manager in the history of Royal Mail? Agreement then he changes he mind over night.

[DirtyHarry]

I don't know about that. What I do know though, from what I've seen of him, and from reading his assinine letters, Mark Higson is a total waynekerr.

[misterbryn]

You've actually seen him??? F$ck me!!! are you sure you didn't imagine it??

[piranha]

I reckon it's really :cfo hiding behind a pseudonym :cfo

[k979aaa]

Does he have a mind or has crozier have his ear and inturn MANDLESON HIS!.

[BELIAL]

Clearly Mr Higson is not up to the task. Dreadful people skills, and to preside over such a massive breakdown in industrial relations can only be considered as a monumental failure to manage.

I hope not, otherwise, I could be classed as some kind of weirdo/scab.

Oh, shyte. Higson will be in line for a whacking great bonus then, no country on earth rewards failure quite like Britain does.

RMs management is like whackamole...you think youve got rid of one (Leighton) and more vermin appears.

Yes

Agreement then he changes he mind over night.

Just to clear something up - there was no agreement.

There was a consensus on a "form of words" on which both side of the negotiations could have accepted and therefore the strikes could have been cancelled. The "form of words" was merely a starting point that would eventually form an agreement that would be put to us at some point.

RM openly admit that he was brought in as a Union Buster - he's looking out to be headhunted by another firm and for a nice bonus .

DeCarteret says: "The problem is to be an efficient managing director you not only have to have strategic and tactical insight into what has to be resolved, you also have to win the hearts and minds of the workforce.

"I think it is in this area Higson has demonstrated himself to be deficient. He has allowed his organisation to be held fast by the union. And he must be judged on that basis."
