Summary

Rob believes it’s time to stand up and speak out! It’s recently been discovered that the government were tipped off about P&O ferries mass-zoom firing in advance, yet the government lambasted them publicly and offered no help. Listen in to this episode to find out more as well as Rob’s own thoughts on the whole situation. KEY TAKEAWAYS A pre-recorded zoom was perhaps not the best way to deliver the news. However, it was kept short, to the point and simple which can often be for the best in these situations. This memo was widely shared in government about the firings before they happened. Many key figures were in the know about what was going to happen including the PMs office and the department for transport. Neither did anything to stop it. It’s easy to lambast the corporations and businesses failing. But why are they failing and what responsibility do the people in our government need to take? The powerful thing about social media is that everyone now has a voice. We need to hold the government accountable and remind them that they have a responsibility to businesses.

0:00.0	I think we should stand up and speak out for the government to do more.
0:06.8	So a leaked PNO Ferries memo to the government before the 800 firings on Zoom
0:16.8	shows that the government were tipped off and emailed by a senior exec in PNO Ferries
0:26.0	before the Zoom firings. Now, I hate to be smug, but I'm going to be smug for a moment.
0:33.0	I did alive as soon as this happened, somewhat defending PNO Ferries and saying really more,
0:41.3	the government should take some responsibility and the government should do more.
0:47.0	And that PNO are going to get absolutely lambasted in the media for firing or making redundant
0:55.2	these 800 workers, even though they were losing 100 million a year, and COVID has happened,
1:03.7	and many businesses will go bust unless they make strong decisions like these redundancies were.
1:10.9	And all you saw over social media was a lambasting of PNO and of their chief exec and how the
1:19.7	firings they're calling them, the redundancies were handled. Look, doing a pre-recorded Zoom,
1:29.2	maybe not class, you know, certainly it should have been live, I think. I think if it was
1:36.5	curt and abrupt and short, I actually think that's often quite good in these situations
1:42.4	because otherwise it can make them more emotional. Not many people would have had the courage
1:48.8	to let go of 800 people, they'd have delegated that or they'd, you know, imagine if you're
1:55.0	the person having to fire 800 stuff on a Zoom, PNO got absolutely slammed for it. And the government
2:01.8	were the government, it's a broad word, but people in shadow cabinet and within the government
2:10.0	were calling it shameful, disgraceful, disgusting, callous, whatever else. And I said,
2:20.1	wait a minute, what are the government doing to help? Why aren't the government intervening?
2:25.6	What are the government doing to protect the 800 people who were made redundant? And of course,
2:32.8	nothing, nothing, nothing, the government were doing nothing, but it gets worse. And I freaking
2:40.2	knew this, so get this right. Leaked PNO Ferries memo sent to ministers before 800 workers
