ON the subject of postal matters

ON the subject of postal matters, I am amazed that there has not been an outcry over the 26 per cent pay rise awarded to Royal Mail chief executive Adam Crozier, taking his total package to £1.25m. This includes a £469,000 performance-related bonus, despite the fact that Mr Crozier has presided over the worst postal strike for 20 years. When I asked what the criteria was that had to be met for the bonus to be paid, a Royal Mail PR jobsworth said this was a confidential matter.

Wrong. It's everyone's business when it takes a month for a parcel posted in London (first class) to reach Leeds. A carrier pigeon would have been better; certainly quicker.

As a postscript, let it be
remembered that it was Mr Crozier who insisted this May that the pay increase for postal staff should be limited to 2.9 per cent. Such hypocrisy is truly shameful.

I wonder if that useless waste of space, Crozier, attached any "strings" to the 26% he's awarded himself?

Nah, course he wouldn't have, the shyster. :cfo :cfo :cfo :cfo :cfo

YOu must be able to obtain some information via the freedom of information act.

However, bear in mind that numeorus senior managers forewent their bonus's in lieu of getting a better one further down the line. I don't know whether this applies to Crozier, but to get a bonus of about 80% of his basic pay doesn't seem consistent for one year.

I suspect that he carried his bonus over. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying everyone is coming up smelling of roses, as there is probably some subtle movement of financials to meet this target. To investigate and prove wrong-doing would be almost impossible due to the size of the company and the way in which the corporate accounts get added up.

It doesn't alter the fact that he has lost RM millions of pounds, cut the Service, alienated the Workforce, and the Public. Do you really think that he deserves ANY BONUS AT ALL?!?!?

We are offered a Bonus if we save money (with moving goalposts), but he gets a bonus if he looses millions..... It doesn't add up does it?

it's a crazy world when you can be awarded massive pay increases and bonuses for losing money hand over fist.
