Do you really think it's being done to spite you personally?

The warning had to come soon. Like this at least the price has a bit of time to recover. If the cut in expected profits announcement came the day before the 5-year sale it'd have been so much worse for you.

Some people need to stop thinking it's been done specifically to target posties.
It's not necessarily been done to solely and specifically target posties... But I'm in no doubt there will have been a few wry smiles in the boardroom when this announcement was being planned and someone pointed out how the timing of it would effect posties committed to selling.

Don't underestimate the sheer hatred and contempt that senior management hold for the workforce of RM.

I sure am. I knew the share price could fluctuate, but I didn't expect it to be because of my own chief executive.
If you were happy with the sale procedure stating that your shares would be sold at a discount on market price of at least 5% and potentially 20%+ and chose to sell knowing you wouldn't be getting full price for them then you can hardly complain.
I wouldn't complain at the 20% discount (loss), it's the other 30% caused by our chief executive I object too.

How are you evidencing this hatred? Are you a Senior Manager speaking your own opinion or has a Senior Manager confided in you?
