A million on benefit capable of work

[thered]

Aye funny how companies that aren't making money when the government hold them make billions for banks, financial institutions and shareholders the second the government privatises them isn't it? While I'm sure people will blame the workers; at the end of the day it is the current owners and the management who are ultimately responsible for whether the post office makes a profit or not, and it is they that should take the blame and should lose their jobs for the mess they're in. However I'm sure plenty of people will blame the people who day in day out carry out the work they're asked, in the way that the management tell them to and in the way they are contracted to do. The government and the post office 'management' are the ones who employed the staff, dictated their terms and conditions etc.

Bet the management get immediate pay rises the second it's privatised, and those who actually work will receive a P45.

Incentives arnt there

Management dont care if business is crap, taxpayer will foot bill

But your right, they will make plenty in private hands

Same as these banks, RBS after getting a quarterley profit now want the government to sell shares even though they will lose billions.

Why not let government keep the shares till they actually make a decent profit and distribute the gains to the taxpayer as a windfall??
