PRIVATISATION. Fact or Fiction
I hear rumours and talk of RM being Privatised in 2013, is this true? or just a rumour?

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.

I can't see them selling it very cheap, and I can't see many people actually wanting to buy it. Richard Branston was said to be interested once but that's gone a bit quiet now.

It will most likely be sold as an IPO.WornOutPosty wrote:I can't see them selling it very cheap, and I can't see many people actually wanting to buy it. Richard Branston was said to be interested once but that's gone a bit quiet now.
Selling lots of tiny pieces to the masses is a lot easier than trying to sell one big piece to the bearded one.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: PRIVATISATION. Fact or Fiction
We we told in our induction yesterday by the trainer that privatisation would take place in 2013. But then we were also told that Moya had privatised the Canadian mail and made a complete success of it
the Canada post hasn't even been privatised yet

Re: PRIVATISATION. Fact or Fiction
something in the telegraph the other week, whatever happens expect conditions to get worse, any company would love to get rid of paid meal relief, holday and sick pay. Someone in royal mail got a nice bonus for allowing dsa in, and making cycle helmets compulsory. I would prepare for it, Tnt do deliveries in London, postal rates will go up as well.
