Inflation up and rising. Costs to businesses up. Energy prices going up again in January. Not long ago I paid £68 per month for gas and electricity. In the winter I was able to have my heating on 1-1.1/2 hours in the morning, then again 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. I now pay £85 per month (Just increased by my supplier) and I have it on for two hours at night. Absolutely bonkers. Whilst I admit and I was just as p*ssed off as most people with the Tories, Labour have steam rollered in like a bull in a china shop and now costs are and will keep increasing by more than they needed to. Companies will cut costs by cutting hours or even laying people off. Will put prices up whilst giving lower wage increases. This in turn will lead to workers striking for higher pay. There's a saying "You can't burn the candle at both ends" Labour are trying to put all the ills made by the previous Government in one go. It is too much all at once and is already leading to many sections of our community taking to the streets or totally feed up with a Party that has only been in power a few months. |  | | |  |

Don’t they ?
All the business owners I’ve met in my long time on this place we call Earth are blooming hard working and are obsessed with the figures.
You lead from the top matey. |
I'd put money on the business owners you've met will be plumbers, market stall holders, builders and maybe the owner of the local hardware store. I reckon you've met very few CEOs at the top of businesses as big as B&Q. |  |

OK I'll ask it another way.
You've been one of many plaudits of mark ashton and his running of the club.
If you can easily take over the running of B&Q I take it you could easily run itfc?
If that's the case then really these plaudits of ashton are OTT as you're basically saying he's not that important and the club would run itself without him.
No?
:) |
No. Nice try, but running a football club is nothing like running B&Q.
The CEO of B&Q doesn't have all the projects to organise that Mark Ashton's had this year, and the B&Q boss has way more business managers below him to keep things ticking over. | |

But the CEO doesn't have the sales quotas, the sales managers do. |
Clueless remains clueless.
You wouldn't make it past the front entrance to head office, before security slung you out on your ear  | | | |

Woohoo, Zapers! ZAPERS! Z A P E R S !!!
This is all hypothetical, dear.
Glassers brought up the scenario of me running B&Q; if it were ever allowed then security would have been informed and would escort me in. But it's not real. I'm not going to actually try and run B&Q for a month. | |

Hypothetically you took up the challenge. I’m just pointing out that even in your deluded mind, you wouldn’t have the necessary skill set.
You seem to be the one who’s so keen to project your abilities . | | | |

Of course they do. The CEO is answerable to the board and the investors.
.....and you had better look for a new position if private equity is involved. |  |

Way more managers?

That's quite a lot of managers flash. Quite a lot of projects sure. But that's a lot of managers to be able to easily get them done tho. No need for ashton is there? |  |

If sales go down from £750m to £500m then he's gonna know about it. [Post edited 26 Nov 2024 9:20]

Not heard of LTI’s then? Again, not interested in justifying CEO remuneration, but there’s some bonkers assumptions here about what they actually do.
Some people have been watching too much Succession I think. | | | |

Starmer has increased the cost of marquee hire at our local Christmas tree grower from 2 to 4k in one year. Seems like businesses are just trying to take the piss now. They didn't hire it. |  |

Is this all evidence that we need a better business model though or are we sticking with, "it's just the way it is" and trying to game it on the markets? | |

Personally I think more firms should give (or at least discount) equity for their staff. That way everyone is invested, and everyone is rewarded for the company’s success. | | | |

I'm really not. I've basically said I wouldn't do a lot and I'd entrust any big decisions to the experts/slightly lower managers. Which abilities of mine have I projected?
But regardless, you know next to nothing about me and haven't a clue what my skill sets are in a working environment. | |

Or just share profit and decision making as per a cooperative and dispel the myth about clever manager/ceo types. | |

Here's a July 2024 article with some interesting facts about FTSE 100 CEOs.
https://www.raconteur.net/ceo-index/ftse-100-ceos-in-numbers-2024
Amongst other things it states that 64 of the 100 CEOs were promoted from within the business, which points to conservatism rather than radicalism when it comes to taking the business forward.
Interestingly, the most recent high profile case of a CEO radically changing things (admittedly a partnership rather than a FTSE 100 company) was Sharon White at John Lewis who wasn't successful.
And somewhat ironically, Tesco, which screamed the loudest about the NI changes, was the company with the largest disparity in terms of pay, with its CEO being awarded 431 times the pay of its median staff member. And for context the £31 million increase for Tesco in NI has to be seen in the light of a company with £2.3 billion profits. [Post edited 26 Nov 2024 10:16]
