RMCtv : Simon 'Does my bum look big in this?' Thompson : No new uniforms or new electric vans

[POSTMAN]

Simon Says

we are slowing down the roll out (uniforms) - due to our current financial situation - the original idea was to provide new uniforms to everyone this year - that will now not happen - we are supplying to new starters, since there is no alternative for them - also, we are urgently reviewing our new electric vans orders - I have asked the team to see if we can cancel what is coming - we have to balance the books - sorry about the news....

#Deserves it's own thread-you scruffy air polluting baskets!
#How much divis has just been paid?

Dont f***in bring in new uniform in the first place if we’re so poor mate!!!

Why pay the shareholders before getting stuff the company needs? Even I can see thats terrible management.

Does anyone remember when Simon Thompson said last year that we had enough vans but not in the right places??


The general idea was to utilise our existing vans so that they were to be used to deliver parcels in the evenings. However, in our office in the last month the company have brought in dozens of hire vans and used the agency workers to do morning deliveries??

Definitely not cost effective

"the original idea was to provide new uniforms to everyone this year - that will now not happen"

No dickbrain, the original statement by RM was rolled out by the spring. So six months later than planned you now plead poverty as the reason. Lies, lies and more lies.

How on earth does he keep his job?

[Jefferson Starfish]

The electric vans are crap anyway.

We've got the new uniforms but what happens at the offices that haven't and half the posties are walking round with ripped shirts and trousers with their arses hanging out, do they give you a Primark gift voucher to go get a pair of joggers and a couple of polo shirts ?

"Due to the 400 million we handed shareholders and the big bonus payments to the CEO'S....somehow we have just discovered that money is so tight ....we can't afford to dress our staff"

[zz666]

Are we to supply our own uniform then, because you can't get most of the old uniform.

[Cucumber]

National 'dress down day' then?

Over to you, CWU.

[greengiant]

Cant afford to give staff uniform? Then why give shareholders £400 million?!

[olilew]

And this guy actually got a handsome bonus for a job well done!
