CEO of the company I work for rocked up at the office today in his Aston Martin. Proceeded to tell everyone on a business briefing that there will be a round of redundancies, came out with the line "its a difficult economic climate for us all" and will no doubt cruise off home in his Aston Martin shortly.
Safe to say it's not gone down well. |  | | |  |

The company I work for have just bought another. The CEO said there would be "certain natural efficiencies".
This was, of course, code for a wave of redundancies. |  |

I never get these sort of things, if he biked in would it have made any difference to the horrible news everyone was delivered?
Sorry to hear that news by the way. Hopefully you’ll be safe.
Profit of £5b this year at my place, still looking to shift some out the door [Post edited 25 Feb 18:48]

Agreed. I don't resent him his apparent wealth as he does do a difficult job, travels all over the place and away from his family a lot, works long hours etc. I wouldn't do it to be honest.
As is often the case its sometimes about how things are done rather than what decisions are made. The reality is our cost base is growing and our sales aren't, and we have owners who instruct him to make difficult decisions. Much of that cost is external factors that have been forced upon the business. That's the very harsh reality. But saying its a hard time economically for all of us is a bit tone deaf when a lot of the audience were low paid factory workers. Some walked out this afternoon in protest I'm told. |
Sadly money doesn’t buy class. |  | | |
