You shop in Lush? I must've missed you coming out as gay, congratulations.
Do your mates laugh at that kind of thing?

Apparently, the pilot is testing his eyesight just to make sure he’ll be ok for a transatlantic flight in a day or two. Sorry, that’s obviously not the case. It’s collecting information for a mapping software company. https://t.co/pPJ3sz9G6l

Lip service mate.
It's not lip service. The missus works for the Living Wage Foundation and they have a whistleblower service where any employee of these businesses can contact them if they're not receiving the Real Living Wage.
This includes contract cleaners who aren't even directly employed by the company in question. It is very robust and they accept no excuses.
The employers have to agree to this as part of their accreditation - and if there's one case they lose that accreditation.

The cynic in me sees Brewdog jumping on their “lovey dovey” brand of being an indie brewer but they’re a cog in the machine like the rest of big business. Same with Lush, eventually all that’s left of the ethics in a business is the brand and strap line before it gets sold off to Greene King/Unilever.
The other day I was in Morrisons and they had no face washes I knew were vegan friendly and I had to read the back. Most had the Unilever logo on them. Illusion of free choice whilst we head frantically towards monopolies.
Also I’m p1ssed off at Lush because today they sent me a tiny pot of R&B I ordered in a box 8 times the size filled with polystyrene peanuts. Defeats the purpose really if you are clinging onto being an environmental brand. I know several people who work/have worked at Lush and it’s all a marketing front these days. Awful to staff, pay is the bare minimum when added up with hours and disciplinaries for MH issues. But they have no issue spashing out big money to send mouthwash to space or host a big birthday showcase for the founder.
Money and power corrupts all.
If anyone knows a product similar to Lush R&B by the way I can use to keep my beard tidy I’m all ears.
Sorry for the side rant. Actually no I’m not. SIDE RANT.

You need to read the link in that post to Badger.
I read a bit of it but I haven't got forever. They are individual members of staff complaining about bosses, from what I saw. I read through a few and got bored. Where is the stuff about poor pay (which is what I commented on)?
You've also ignored what I said about Brewdog being Living Wage.
I've given you the facts about how both these companies pay their staff, and you've fobbed me off with a blog of staff complaints.
Anyway, I don't really care about either of these companies, they have nothing to do with me, so I'll leave it there. It would be good if you could just accept that I know what I'm talking about here, but I'm not going to get into a ding dong about it.
