Post Office CEO Nick Read Accused of Obsession with Pay Amid Horizon Scandal

Former HR director Jane Davies claims Read's fixation on remuneration distracted from efforts to address the Horizon IT system fallout.

Jane Davies, former HR director, alleges Nick Read threatened to resign multiple times over pay disputes, overshadowing his duties during the Horizon scandal.
Read's demands for increased pay and bonuses were described as a 'huge distraction' from compensating wrongfully convicted postmasters.
Despite being cleared of bullying allegations, Read faces criticism for his focus on personal financial gains.
A recent independent review exonerated Read of misconduct, but controversies over his leadership continue.
Government and Post Office focus on redressing the Horizon IT scandal, which wrongfully implicated numerous postmasters in financial discrepancies.
