Share offer:Have your say

Post by POSTMAN »

Got a PM from this guy...
Hi,

I am contacting you on behalf of my firm Eagle Alpha. Our firm provides share information to the city of London from non traditional, web news sources, such as blogs, forums, twitter, etc.

It'd be great if we could get the views of the postal workers on the upcoming share offer?
and what form of industrial action you think may be taken?
what are the underlying issues within the company?
What challenges royal mail faces going forward?
Are you optimistic on the company?
Do you think Moya Greene has taken the right decisions since she has been appointed and do you think her and the board are the right people to lead the company going forward?

It'd be great to find out your views.


Thanks

David

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 had an email advert from Cornhill Capital asking me if I wanted to Register and apply for shares in Royal Mail, don't know how they got my email I've never heard of them, looking at the bulls**t they sent me Royal Mail looks like a fantastic company to invest in :crazy: :whistle

No, our individual views given directly to him will have more validity than informal comments between us on here. :Very Happy
And "lazy sod" might not be appropriate. :sad:

Thanks Lizard, you are indeed correct, a direct response is more credible but I shall be scanning comments as well. Great to see such healthy debate on the current issues.

I hope this isn't a form of insider trading....
If you're looking for a weakness it would have to be industrial relations and by that I don't mean the relationship between the union and senior management but the relationship between operational management and employees.

My view on the shares is - they can't be touched for 3 years or five if you don't want to pay tax, and they get to keep them for us presumably in the hope they can think of some way to deny them in the meantime. If we dont get the certificates we ain't got the shares. Do you really think they can be trusted? They've screwed us once over shares already.
