Surely when they went to the supplier with numbers it would have been priced and supplied as such. Somethings not right here but let’s be honest the new uniform was a mistake anyway. Oh well back to walking around in uniform falling apart and driving a 13 year old van in a state of disrepair.
Only 13-years-old? One of newer ones then.
We still have 07/08 Vauxhall Combi’s with 200K on the clock, in a rather pink livery.

He'd rather go down in history as "the guy who destroyed a 500+ year old service" than "the guy who gave in to a union."
Because he's looking at his future, as the overpaid CEO of another company, not at ours. He doesn't care how much money he spaffs in his quest to prove he's a "strong" CEO who puts shareholders profits over the needs of the "little people."
There's a reason Morrison's were so understaffed at the start of the pandemic, and that reason is Simon "knock all the shifts down by 15 minutes so we don't have to honour the previous contracts promise of a 30 minute break on an 8 hour shift, then add those 15 minutes up and make them work a couple of hours every other Sunday" Thompson

In seriousness though; it is pure desperation on his & Royal Mail’s part. He’s really on the last rolls of his dice, and he knows it.
What else has he even got left now?
Good news if you ask me.

Let’s be honest, every day now just brings new reasons not to give a toss about this s**t show of a company anymore.

Lets be honest who's really going to be that upset we're not getting EV's when we've been driving around in Combo's and Doblo's for years?

Team - we’ve sold off parts of the company and we’ll be rebranding soon so we’ve cancelled the uniform and vans

That's what I thought, can imagine him reading comments on here about how s**t the vans are plus the difficulty getting uniform and mistakenly thinking that we actually give a f**k.

I did wonder why I couldn’t reorder uniform as I was sent the wrong sizes. As for the vans I doubt anybody gives a damn I surely don’t.
