    Usually bankrupt the company and make you redundant.

      Probably why she keeps breaking down in tears the prospect of spending a lot of time in purgatory.

            Paula Vennells, Post Office chief executive 2010-2019

            Ms Vennells earned £5.1m during her time at the helm of the Post Office, peaking at £718,300 in 2018. That year her base salary was £253,800 and she earned £390,800 in bonuses (plus pensions and other benefits).

              Good god
              Was in the running to become the third most powerful/influential person in the Church of England:

              In January 2024, BBC News reported that Vennells had been shortlisted to become Bishop of London back in 2017, with two sources stating that the Archbishop of Canterbury himself had pushed her application and was regarded as a supporter of hers.

              Paula Vennells is giving evidence at the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, and so the Mirror has taken a look at her reduced life now, from handing back her CBE to her almost becoming Bishop of London

                    And to be fair the Welsh chair is giving her a chance and trying to ensure it's a due process

                    I think she's full of it but she's quick on her feet

                      I don't think there is such a thing as a typical CEO job and can only speak from personal experience. In one of my jobs I worked for an organisation with about 3000 employees. Then the person at the top of the pyramid wouldn't have a clue what I was doing or who I was. What that person did is a mystery to me. When I worked for a smaller company with around 50 employees the CEO knew of everything. In the case of the Post Office there were around 60000 employees and I would not therefore have expected a CEO to get involved with the nitty gritty. That was the point I was making to reinforce my conclusion that Vennells was doubly culpable even though I think my minority opinion that she is putting up a reasonable defence of her untenable situation remains.

                      Perhaps you have a different experience although I fully expect you to disagree.

                        She's quick on her feet

                        Is this enquiry able to lead to prosecutions ?

                        She's seems completely incompetent but is doing a good job of defending herself

                          There's always going to be a better pay renumeration in the private sector

                          It's worrying when ceo of Caerphilly Council is alleged to be on 200k

                          Mind , the mental health charity also pay stonking amounts to the executives

                              Don’t think the Horizon software problems, the prosecuting of sub-postmasters could be described as the “nitty gritty”. She was in all probability completely aware of what was going on..

                                The nitty gritty to which I was referring was to do with the fact she was arranging meetings, deciding who should attend and the fact she took ownership of some of the minute details and not the entire Horizon problem to which she has to be involved. Of course she should have been involved with decisions relating to the prosecutions but that is not the point I was making.
