Where’s the response to this from the big blowhard gobshite Mr Ward? Or his little lapdog Walsh? You have the CEO of the company taking digs at staff for frankly a decent sick leave percentage given the nature of this job and what are them two doing right now? Oh yeah that’s right pushing a working model which will see 3 doing the work of 4.
They’ll be off on their summer holidays till September soon :wave

It'd make more sense to give that figure as a percentage of the workforce rather than just a pointless bland number.

Is this 6,500 people just uniform grades, or does it include managers?

The quoted number of 130,000 staff is far too high not to include all RMG grades.
The machine stops.
