WHO THE BLOODY HELL IS SUE WHALLEY

[CharlesSpooner]

1300 Managers souls gone........ many blocking , its coming our way so before you laugh at the managers just look at whats coming next....... shameful that all goes towards the City and the hedge funds ...... so before we slag of the local managers we best look at what is going on #allinittogether

And how many times were the local managers outside the gates with us during those times of industrial action? They stood in front of people they'd worked alongside for years, often as posties themselves, and trotted out the company line. Then they were crossing the picket lines, delivering specials and taking bonuses. Even the acting ones who were still CWU members!

I won't be laughing at them losing their job but I certainly won't be shedding a tear for some of the bullies, cowards and arseholes at our place. Much less fighting for them.

And if redundancy comes my way then let it come. C'est la f***ing vie. A little pile of cash to f**k this job off isn't too unappealing a prospect - there would be a queue out the door at our place if VR's were offered, however measly.

Just to answer the original question, Sue Whalley has replaced Mark Higson but the job title has been changed from Managing Director to Chief Operating Officer.

I think you could probably work that out from my previous post.

Yes I could (assuming I didn't know who he was before I asked the question).
But then it wouldn't have been funny.

As to your it's only a physical job jib at us the workers and not the shirkers I would say this job is more pressured than that of the managers as they have had training to psychologically abuse their workforce. Where we mostly get ON WITH IT as the managers say and do not have the training to say no I do enough as it is!

A complete misrepresentation of the question I asked. You said that Sue Whalley is "yet another manager who has never done a days work in her life". The inference seemed to be that by definition a management role at any level isn't work and that only postmen work. I simply asked what in your opinion constitutes "work". You were the one that used the phrase "only a physical job" - I never used the word "only". You're surely not arguing that postman isn't a physical job.

She is clearly is someone who has gone far in her life, and good luck to her. I dont,and never have done,ever resented anyone in this job who have tried to 'better themselves' be it a manager who started off as a postperson or come straight from university or,in this case, another walk of life. All the venom and bitterness on this forum seems to directed at reps and managers, its put up or shut up as far as i'm concerned.

Anyone can go far if they subjugate their workforce and say it with the calm tones of a dictatorship if you or others don't resent those who earn far bigger pay packages of those who provide a service and yet who do their best for a business with a failed system of competition!. I don't pity her or any of those who don't don the bag on shoulder brigade but I am not saying all managers are bad some are good caught in a position I would not envy but the fact remains she is dictating this whole summer lapsing and is the face of ROYALMAIL in this aspect!

Ah yes Mark Higson the Harold Shipman lookalike what a butcher he was told to go and a slap on the back with a payout.... Whalleys cv is good but not that impressive 'won't go into detail' but know someone with far more to him than that top euro / American exc and also went to Harvard /oxford under took duties involving billions of pounds / $ for a global company retired and now lives in the Bahamas...
Oh and a humbler guy you have to look far and wide to find , he never subjected anyone under him to the crap royal mail throws at it's workforce. he did once have to go and lay off a workforce of many hundreds but believe me he hated doing it and dreaded every moment .....not like the lap top analysts we have
