'Fat-cat behaviour' of Post Office bosses attacked

With the news that Post Office bosses shared £15.4 million in bonuses, their plans to close offices, cut jobs and refuse to agree a pay rise for Crown office staff is unbelievable.

They're lavishing bonuses at the top while slashing jobs, services and pay for frontline staff. It's blatant fat-cat behaviour from management out of touch with their workforce.

Post Office staff, customers and communities are continuing to stand up for the local Crown post office services they value so highly. The support continues to be enormous. Bosses cannot keep their heads in the sand forever.

Do we expect any better from the top lot?
Always line their own pockets, usually at the expense of the lower ranks.
If RM is privatised, what the board will do then will make stories like these look unambitious, as the bonus pots will be absolutely massive, whilst our pay/terms and working conditions will dive so fast it will be but a blur.

It is bad PR though, to award themselves big bonuses, whilst refusing a pay rise to staff as the company 'can't afford it while making losses'. :no no
