Ist class salary 2nd class performance

Anyone else wonder how Adam Crozier ends up trousering £3 million this year for what has been a pretty dismal performance at Royal Mail. What is wrong with just offering him a salary, take it or leave it, like the people who do the actual work in his crumbling organisation?

Don't tell me you have to pay £3 million to get people of his calibre. The guy seems to know just as much about postal services as he did about football but he probably has some business studies qualification which is all you need in Britain these days. You don't need to know anything about the industry concerned, how to make anything, provide a service or anything useful, just know all the right buzzwords and cut lots of costs.

Royal Mail has lost money for the first time in history, 2,500 post offices are being axed with no consideration as to need or service, there has been a strike, deliveries axed, the time of deliveries has become guesswork and it is a lottery as to when anything posted will be delivered - and we give him a huge performance related bonus payment.

I dread to think how much it would have cost us if he had been any good.
