It's far worse than just having bugs - they knew there were bugs and covered it up even when they knew what impact it was having. That's the bit I find genuinely shocking.
- Mauricebranagh 6y agoUnfortunately (As a sort of insider X BT ) the Postal side always had much worse employee relations. Part of which was caused the very "antagonistic" IB or SD like the US postal Inspectors. There was a bit guilty by suspicion tendency that went on and I suspect some of this culture was embedded in the organisation. Certainly having yourself or your staff investigated by SD was considered very stressful even after the "bad old days"
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agono idea what those acronyms mean. X BT? IB? SD? WTF?
- skissane 6y agoX = ex-, as in formerly BT = British Telecom. British telco, which used to be part of the government-owned Post Office, but was separated from it in 1981 and then privatised in 1984. The delivery services part of the Post Office (Royal Mail) was separately privatised in 2013; but the retail post office business (Post Office Ltd) remains under full government ownership, albeit most of the individual post offices are privately run by franchisees – and it was these franchisees who were being prosecuted IB = Investigation Branch – https://www.postalmuseum.org/blog/the-post-office-investigation-branch/ https://www.postalmuseum.org/blog/the-post-office-investigat... SD = Security Division
