Royal Mail Scandal: Fake Deliveries for Bonuses

A scandal has emerged in the UK where Royal Mail managers are accused of instructing postal workers to falsely mark deliveries as 'inaccessible' to secure bonuses, with reports from sources like The Telegraph and Daily Mail. This practice misleads customers, especially during the Christmas period, as parcels are marked as 'attempted deliveries' without effort. Bonuses for managers are reportedly tied to parcel dispatches, incentivizing this malpractice, although Royal Mail denies these claims. The situation has prompted postal services minister Justin Madders to call for an investigation. This scandal coincides with the recent approval of Royal Mail's parent company takeover by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky's EP Group.
