That’s PostNord for you. Reminder that the CEO earns ~700k a month for doing helpful things like… introducing every other day delivery of post. Hmmm.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Hold up. 700k of what currency?

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

SEK. I make 38k a month! Thus, she makes about ~18 times more than me and then a nurse's salary on top of that.

Funnily enough, the CEO of PostNord Denmark also earns ~700k, but DKK, so that is around 1.5 time that, but for running the part of the company with more losses

Never forget who ruined the beautifully working Swedish postal service. Maud Olofsson screwed us over by taking on one of the worst deals in history. The Danish must have laughed their asses off when they offloaded their failing postal service onto the Swedish people.

I'm sure Denmark has hurt you greatly and will do so again, but the ownership is 60/40 between Sweden and Denmark. PostNord operates the same in Denmark as it does in Sweden.

It's a shame that Sweden had to lower their standards to the Danish level. PostNord gotten a lot worse in Sweden since the deal with Denmark

Eh, goes both ways. Post Danmark was actually quite decent before the merger.

[-] Wraul@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

I think you might be misunderstanding me. I’m not trying to attack the danish people in any way.

What I’m trying to say is this.

  1. Sweden had a great postal service and Denmark not so much
  2. A incompetent Swedish politician got us into a crap deal
  3. Now both Sweden and Denmark has crappy postal service
  4. And just as you point out, Sweden is now stuck paying for 60% percent of this clusterfuck while Denmark only pays for 40%.

No wonder the Danish people often is considered some of the happiest in the world.

I’m also trying to remind people that things like this is what happens when you elect politicians that don’t have the peoples interests in mind. And looking at the current people in charge such a reminder is unfortunately highly relevant.

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 1 points 2 months ago

Post Danmark actually wasn't that bad. It was a bit old school, but the prices were decent and the service was high quality. A year after the merger and absolutely everything was shit.

[-] Wraul@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Now you are forgetting the part where the Danish postal service was bleeding money. This is partly due to their severance/retirement packages.

After the merger the economic troubles have continued. Where the danish part have been responsible for the losses and the Swedish part for the profits. So in effect the Swedish people are subsidizing the irresponsible economic decisions of the danish postal service.

But we are starting to lose focus on the person that the Swedes should hold responsible for this, Maud Olofsson.

I don't think she should be earning so much, but varannandagsutdelning does actually make sense with how few letters get sent (even though I'd also prefer daily delivery). But crazy that stamp prices have also basically doubled.

But just like with so many other public service things and agencies, Sweden is determined to make a paper profit. Vinstkrav. Would be cool if SJ for example was allowed to sell their train tickets for cheaper prices, but nope, they need to make at least 10% profit or something around that.

I think the main issue I have is that this also applies to time critical post, and thus post can arrive too late.

When it comes to essential infrastructure it makes no sense to me that they need to operate on a profit.

[-] kungen@feddit.nu 1 points 3 months ago

I can't think of many examples where a postal letter will be so time-critical that it will make a big difference if it's delayed 1 day (or until Monday if delivery was on Thursday)?

But I agree, it shouldn't have to be like that. And how much paper-profit they make would probably be nothing compared to the benefits society gets (and thus benefits the country's economy regardless).

Gotta make some changes to maintain that salary though right
