Sales are down at the Royal Mail



Well Moya Greene is at it again. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised yet it's so disheartening. Someone from the UK posted on my blog about Moya Greene being a virtual axe murder. He claimed that Moya Greene has already laid off his wife at the Royal Mail. She worked in sales. Nice Christmas present Moya.

My first response was the adage that Moya Greene has no concept of business revenue. If you cut all your services you will reduce your business revenue. I bumped into a former coworker at the Post Office the next day. I told him about Moya Greene laying off sales staff in the UK. His response was automatic.

Of course. They want to privatize it. They lay off the sales staff and then complain sales are down so they'll have to privatize. He's right. We know their MO here. Now they are doing the same thing in England. They are killing profits which will rationalize them privatizing it so they can avoid being publicly accountable.

There are some people who are so opposed to publicly owned anything they will spend billions of taxpayers dollars to privatize public services just so it is private not public. This political group has two sections. One section believes that the private sector is more financially responsible than the public sector and can do a better job at making a profit than the public sector. They are primarily concerned with profits. They don't want a publicly run service to be a cost burden on the public.

The other group are crude business sharks who covet the huge salaries of private sector CEOs at the public expense. They flatter the others with talk of profits but they are simply interested in circumventing public accountability. They are not concerned with what's in the public interest.

Take Moya Greene for example. She claims the private sector doesn't want to be told anything by the public and sees the public as stupid in the area of downsizing, implementing new technology, and strategic planning. Turning a profit making tax paying revenue creating corporation into a hollow shell billions in debt is not strategic planning.

Those are lies to convince the other section of the privatization group that circumventing public accountability by killing profits is somehow a good thing.

Take note England: Moya Greene is laying off sales staff so she can then complain sales are down and privatize the Royal Mail. It's sabotage.



Remember Remember the 5th of November!
