The ship is sinking and the rats have started to jump ……

Mosley next I hope

Let me guess - a retailer has welcomed her to the fold?

That is where here interests are really not with farmers.

Yup.

Coop?

Well, she sure did a good job with their farms....

 

[milkloss]

I wonder how long it took for RT to decide she should stand down? Seems quick and shows just how much they’re dragging heels over farmer issues.

 

[Jackov Altraids]

So she didn't think there was any conflict of interest. Just that it might be perceived as such.

Is that because she has always considered she was working on the retailers behalf?

inevitable ……….. but the gravy train anti farmer nepotism continues on for her at the co-op

soon as she had the next pay cheque lined up she probably couldn’t resign far enough !

it’s all about the money / individual careers

given her track record ( not just at RT). amazed she’s employable frankly

 

[livestock 1]

Oh no how will we cope without Christine Tacon!!
Never heard of her

 

[Clive]

Yup.

Coop?

Well, she sure did a good job with their farms....

they don’t seem to have learned do they !

 

[Clive]

shall i apply for her old job ?


would be great to be Jim’s boss

 

[topground]

shall i apply for her old job ?

If you do apply I will withdraw my application!

 

[teslacoils]

Presumably she will steer coop to demand RT everything and the new green think aka Operation Dump Everything On Farmers And Nick Their Carbon Offsets.

Go for it

Nice idea Clive, but they would never employ anyone who was interested in doing anything for the benefit of farmers.

Have you thought about the AHDB? Oh hang on.

 

[slackjawedyokel]

I’ve only just seen that

Red Tractor Chair To Step Down

Christine Tacon has announced her intention step down as Red Tractor Chair following her appointment to the Co-op Board.

redtractorassurance.org.uk

Just need the other one to go too, and for them not to be replaced by supermarket stooges. Unfortunately I’m not sure Mr Moseley will sashay away into Industry so easily, and he’s not ready for retirement yet, apparently

 

[slackjawedyokel]

How are the CEO and Chair appointed? Is there any way to get ‘our’ people in rather than’their’ people?

Please do.

And add a few others like @Grass And Grain too.


No doubt the deck of cards would be stacked against you. However, if you word your application correctly you might be able to bankrupt them with a discrimination case if you were all unsuccessful and they didn't have a suitable reason for the alternative candidate.

More than one way to skin a cat.
