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 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.
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).
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.
Hold up. 700k of what currency?
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.

Gotta make some changes to maintain that salary though right
