I mean I get it’s tough competition and other factors involved, but the headline still seems to be poor management, hefty bonuses for execs.
Yet still they go after the workforce first before reviewing their own salaries and trimming fat of their own back.
Has the last price rise even come into effect yet, they seem to be pretty regular. The Royal mail should never have been privatised, it was never designed to make a profit. Even the Americans get this with their USPS and they’re big on capitalism.
Honestly as someone who works there I can’t tell you how bloated the management is. If fully staffed most delivery offices could run themselves.
Name me *ONE* privatised service that hasn’t fleeced the public and fattened its owner.
Just. One.
Isn’t the privatisation of public services great? Just look at the efficiencies and savin… well ok not savings, but a handful of people got wealthy so FU.
Bunch of greed filled Cornwall United Netball Team’s
As a small business sending about 100 or so small parcels a week we switched from Royal Mail to Evri a couple of months back and Evri is less than half the price for tracked deliveries and despite their apparent bad reputation they’ve been excellent for us.
Can’t imagine how Royal Mail increasing prices and reducing staff is going to help them in any way.
We keep raising prices and running a worse system but nothing getting better, I know what will fix our problems let’s raise prices and run a worse service.
Did anyone expect anything different. Who would have thought that increasing the employers’ NI contributions would end up in job losses and price increases to the consumers.
Even an employee on £20K would increase the employers NI from £1504.20 to £2250, a £745.80 increase per year.
The royal mail employs 130k people, now imagine a company that employs 1.5m like the NHS. Now, their supposed budget increase will be swallowed up in employee pay, especially after the payrises also given by labour. The extra £21B won’t go far when you take direct staff increases, indirect staff increases due to the budget and also suppliers costs, which will also increase due to the budget.
Unfortunately, with this budget, i doubt we’ll see any change in the NHS.
i have no clue why we privatised yet another entity.. cuz water, gas elec, train etc is all going so well for us.. lets do anothr one..
Surely the parcels and stamps have a union to stop their jobs from getting cut.
They’re already rubbish and unable to properly compete with other companies, how on earth is this going to help
I think it’s time Labour look at renationalising Royal Mail.
You will go out of business if you do that and deliver my next day signed letter in 2 weeks again LOL
They have been absolutely shocking these past few years despite constantly rising prices. How will this guarantee better service? Oh wait, it won’t.
Confiscate it. No reimbursement to the thieves who took it from us.
