Post Office Reviews

Senior Management is toxic - a lot of times you heard...'those who give discretionary effort' statement. Expectations on managers is unrealistic, and senior managers show a complete lack of inclusive behaviours.... heard at meetings statements like.. 'there's the table for the blacks and the Irish... I can say that as I am black' I was completely offended and when I mentioned taking this to HR, was quietly told, dont as thats a mark against you... another instance was when a senior manager was lambasting me, she said 'I am invoking the confidentiality clause on your contract so you cant repeat this conversation' needless to say I reported it to HR

The problem lies with senior management, our board and the HR Directors who breed gossip and play everyone off against each other but never put action behind the words. It’s becoming a bit tiresome. Post Office have a habit of saying the right things but when it comes to delivering we fall short every time. I think our CEO is kept in the dark on a lot of the issues. Actually I hope that’s the case because if she’s turning a blind eye then we have bigger problems than I expected. The senior leaders say they are approachable. They welcome “honest” challenge. They entertain all these great ideas but the bottom line is always the bottom line.... all they care about is what has always been done and doing it exactly how it’s always done. This business has so much potential. You need inspirational leaders that are innovators. It’s becoming a joke just how much money is being wasted on hundreds of projects that normally due to some dated policy or red tape don’t go ahead. In a lot of cases there’s one leader that doesn’t like the idea. The pay is fair but not consistent.
