  Fucking ridiculous.

  Jail that fucking boss and board of directors, let Thames Water fail, and bring it back into public ownership. Then, just to prove a point, throw them into stocks and dump Thames Water sewage onto them.

    and dump Thames Water sewage onto them.

    While ensuring it doesn’t go into local rivers. Just to make the point.

  “Chris Weston said the supplier needed to offer “competitive packages” to attract talent…” “The ailing business is saddled with debts which stood at just under £16bn at the end of September.”

  Not quite sure what they are talented at…

    Fuck all, really.

    Competitive packages should attract successful candidates, not cunts who consistently fail at both moderating pay, and literally shitting in the rivers and leaving for the taxpayer to clean up.

    Fuck the shareholders of this company, it’s an abject failure and needs to be brought into local authority ownership.

  £770,000 in bonuses. Laughing their heads off as they swill champagne and chomp down caviar.

  After nearly 30 years of work I’ve become convinced that ANY company or organisation would be better run without executive/senior management and letting the staff make decisions and work collectively would be more effective (or at worse… no worse than this disease of mangerialist greed that’s clearly adding to the ruin of this country).

  I’d love to know what CEOs actually do all day that justifies their exorbitant wages.

  They love to trot out the “we need to attract top talent” line, but what skills, knowledge and experience are they actually providing that couldn’t be done by an 18 year old straight out of school?

  The average CEO earns five times the average wage, we all know they aren’t working five times as hard as an average worker.
