the problem is that the managers who make these terrible cock-ups are "fire-proof".
not only do they not get sacked.
they usually get promoted.
and always get big bonuses.
but our union at local and national level must get more "pro-active"

Reminds me of the plot of a favourite movie, The Hudsucker Proxy ...

Sidney J. Mussburger, a member of the board of directors, learns that Hudsucker's stock shares will be sold to the public soon, so he mounts a scheme to buy the controlling interest in the company. His plan is to temporarily depress the stock price by hiring an incompetent president to replace Hudsucker

Hmmm...

In the run-up to privatisation, would it not be a jolly good scheme to spend millions on a way of working that is so woefully unworkable that the spending on trying to make it work almost bankrupts the company. Why ? The share price upon privatisation is as cheap as chips and those on fat-cat salaries can fill their boots with more shares than they'd get if the price was set more realistically. Park and loop ceases as soon as the shares go on the Stock Market, and within two years, profits soar (assisted by RM not having to use any of the profits to plug the pension deficit that the government has by then taken on) and ta-da !

1) government can claim privatisation is what turned RM's fortunes around

2) fat-cats see their shares soar in value

Allegedly.

Well, if we ever see any lump sums or the ColleagueShares money (I have faith in the CWU :roll: ), perhaps we can all invest it in those proper shares as well, and ride the gravy train too ?

not in national press, the truth about royal mail needs to be leaked and exposed.
Well done for all that post on royal mail chat.
