There certainly will be a lot of this going on.

I am bit sceptical about Aircraft Hangers full of Mail.
The press would be all over it.
Don’t forget most people have a camera phone so discreet taken photos over Social media.

What is the point of them doing that? If Queenie (God rest her soul), were visiting you could understand it, but why hide the truth from the guy who thinks his plan is glorious?

Simon Thompson must be a complete idiot if he believes everything he see in mail centre's. Surely to God he knows the work is either being moved out of sight for his visit or he's being lied to. Then again , does he even care . I doubt it .

It's like some dictator is coming to town and people got to hide the truth and tell him everything's great and he is the all powerful wonderful leader.

Thompson with bodyguards in tow.

It's like any firm when a higher-up visits an office. The office getting visited always gets wind of the visit in advance and everything gets cleaned and tidied. All workloads/workplans cleared.

Because YES men is all companies like Royal Mail are interested in, when all the decisions are made at the top of the organisation and handed down. It doesn't matter how it's done, just do it. And being a YES man is the only way to prosper in the modern business environment. Fake it 'til you break it it. You can f**k up as much as you like, as long as you can slime your way up to the next rung of the ladder before the s**t hits the fan. Then it's up to the next guy to come in and make things even worse, while the regular employees are doing the best to keep things running in the vain belief that someone above actually appreciates, or cares about, their efforts. These people can't actually run a business. Cost cutting and asset stripping for a quick profit is all they know.

But they are not even on a ladder?! Some have been in the exact same position for YEARS. They’re not climbing any greasy poles.

I think those ones probably fall into the category of "useful idiots," who have already risen above their natural level of intelligence or competence, and run around doing the dirty work of those above them without any idea of how they are being used. Or average low-level a**elickers, simple goons who derive semi-sentient pleasure from the petty authority they wield, but lack the imagination to contemplate higher ambitions.

You probably know this. What you're describing sounds, to me, very much like the 'Peter Principle'. It's why you get incompetent people stuck in the same positions. They have been promoted beyond their abilities, and can no longer move upwards.
