Post Office And Fujitsu Scandal

[gl556tr]

Whilst a Commission is, according to yesterday's news, searching for all the managerial staff who suffered from Fujitsu's inadequate 'Horizon' computer system, their misery finds no end, no ease. A representative of the Commission, I believe, is apparently experiencing difficulty in finding these former managers.
Surely to goodness, such information must be readily available on the 'Horizon' computer system. Or has that, due to an error, been lost?

I'm looking forward to the day Vennells, among others, is up before the beak. Shame your local PO has closed, gl.

I hope the investigation is done properly. The Royal Mail management on watch during the computer fiasco need to be made accountable for a their arrogant incompetence. And there are still many Postmasters and Postmistresses who need to be cleared and compensated.

Dont think it was royal mail then was it? My memories fading ont these things. Yes lets hope some managers are prosecuted so it acts as a warning to other's

I quite agree, gg.

One would naturally expect the managers of companies to be taken for account when they are naughty blighters. Fined = to be paid out *of their* personal coffers; or, exceptionally, be jailed.
Illogically, the firms are often fined. When a utility, it would seem that this fine payment --fine, indeed!-- is retrieved by spreading the exceptional spending across customers' bills.
Managers are typically given praise and financial gain reflecting their companies' success, but disappear behind their desks and allow the burdens of financial losses due to their mismanagement to be carried by their companies.
(By way of example, a sewage-treatment firm that daily spewed 'rain-excess' into a nearby river. Eventually the firm was fined, the managers not even sacked.)
