Hes a disgrace, giving himself 140k bonus and payrise then saying the company is losing 1million a day. Rewarding himself for failure, the workforce have had enough of this hypoctircal and self serving CEO.

When he took over it was all touchy feely, engage with the workforce, change the toxic culture, co-operate with the CWU. Blah blah.

Was he lying, or has he just been "got at" by the big shareholders?

Either way, didn't take long for him to show his true colours. ALL OUT.

Hilarious. But stand by for some retaliation from him. Narcissists don’t tend to take this kind of stuff too well and will lash out.

Haha would love to see the footage if the camera crew followed him in along with the other top brass expecting a slightly different welcome.

Just goes to confirm that old saying, if you keep kicking a dog eventually it'll bite back.

That's my fear too.
This humiliation and the fact that the CWU has plastered it all over social media will likely only further entrench his position. Going by his Workplace comments he shows classic red flags for a malignant narcissist.

I'm not sure the union knows what it is dealing with in Simon Thomson, backing him into a corner is a dangerous game.

Simon has spoken....

Team - I don't remember any "booing" - but no doubt the atmosphere wasn't good - but as the CWU Rep said to me, "it has been a lot worse in the past" - ouch! - today was my third visit to the Peterborough DO - accepting today might have been an off day - I cannot imagine it is a fun place to work - it shouldn't be that way - but, the team all agree the new electric vans are a good thing.

....I must say - a big thank you to the members of the team - that came up for a chat - and the one's that said it is great to work at Royal Mail in Peterborough.

Time to reflect on what to do - I don't believe we can leave this office - as it is.

A big thank you to the local managers - it was great to chat.

BTW - do you feel that a union - posting that "booing" the CEO of a company - is appropriate behaviour - and aligned with the societal norms in 2022?

What are the societal norms in 2022?

One of the main social media norms is trolling and CEO is pretty good at doing that.
Royal Mail
failing the workforce, failing the public and deliberately failing mail on a daily basis for too many years.
