Aren't these shares an incentive, that they get if they hit their targets rather than something being given now.

I'm sure he said something about not being able to get the moolah for 5 years or the shares not being available to him for that time.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Even with that being the case, it is incredibly poor timing. It basically reads to joe bloggs as "If you f**k over the ground floor posties enough, you'll make big money", and frankly, I'm not happy with that.

What a revolting bunch of people they are. I genuinely feeling disgusted at the thought of them. The only bit of warmth I get from this is that they are only human and one day they too will die and perhaps have a more extravagant headstone than the rest of us mere peasants. But non the less death will come to them and that does give me some comfort.
Very true.. they are only humans like the rest of us.. they are nothing special.. but they think they are gods.. they die. Was we all do..

As of 16.20 today Royal Mail share price was 261.40
Simon Thompson received 299,202 shares

£782,114 in free shares

Snout well and truly in the trough
With the dividend due soon (which is 13.30p on 06/09/2022) how much this guy getting now ?

From what i have worked out just on the above is around £250k - that cant be right ?
Correct, that can’t be right. He’s been given 299,202 shares, so that’s 299,202 times 13.3p which equals £39,793. But he’ll have to pay tax on most of that though.
