Guys
Heard the City owes you a massive thank you for not derailing the flotation with talk of striking.
There was a real risk that your CEO wouldn't realise his £millions, so you've been a huge help. You can't imagine how close it actually all was - I heard a rumour that the deal team assigned a junior to check this thread!
Anyway, he'll be off soon to spend his money, so you'll be negotiating with a new CEO. The problem is that he needs profits to keep growing, and now you' re listed, they need to grow every quarter.
Your management team call can now tell you to F off properly with any talk of big pay rises/strikes, as if you couldn't get anything substantive out of them before the float, you're not now it's a listed vehicle.
