It is SO easy to jump to conclusions. But those conclusions, in this instance, are wrong.
Royal Mail made half yearly profits of £240 million. This is a fairly meagre profit for a company with 160,000 employees. UK parcel revenues also dipped by 1% (explains why they are trying to pump interest in the business...). So no, they do not rip you off with their prices -- they are just trying to compete in a HIGHLY competitive market.
By comparison, BT (88,500 employees), made nearly £900 million of profits in just THREE months. It employs less people, yet makes significantly more than Royal Mail.
So yes, before jumping to conclusions, why not apply some critical thinking?! It'll serve you well.
