European Tribune - Comments - Thursday Open Thread

Thursday Open Thread | 34 comments (19 topical, 15 editorial, 0 hidden)

Was talking to one of my editors today. He works at a certain well-known UK magazine publishing company.

The staff have been told to choose between a pay freeze and redundancy - while the CEO has had a pay rise of nearly £100k, and is now earning a modest half million or so.

Or rather, that's the salary component. There's extra for stock options, and such.

I can think of one in the South West, whose employees are particularly badly treated whenever I run into one of them, it sounds like just the sort of thing that they would do.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
