No shame whatsoever. Or very good at hiding it.

The unacceptable face of capitalism.
Think Sir Philip Green holds that title at the moment . It's a close call though !
Wonder why Sir Philip hasn't had one of these inquiry's ......

from what I saw on the news yesterday, he barely doesI have wondered whether Mike Ashley has the power of speech as I have never heard him utter a word.

He's a glorified market stall schemer, one of his cronies turned up at our offices in a Range Rover ( the usual footballer style, blacked out etc) for a meeting wearing a shell suit, I kid you not! We're in the clothing trade, and were looking at maybe doing business, no surprise we dropped him quicker than an ice cream shit cone!
As for Philip Green, I used to work at Arcadia, and we would get the memo that he would be doing a walk round, and we had to clean our desks up etc. He's a an odious greasy dwarf, just after I had got my redundancy, I was alone in a lift with him, I was sorely tempted to drop him, I hope he gets what's coming to him.

Naked greed is such an ugly spectacle and they both have it oozing out of every pore.He's a glorified market stall schemer, one of his cronies turned up at our offices in a Range Rover ( the usual footballer style, blacked out etc) for a meeting wearing a shell suit, I kid you not!

A little balance required I think...
I know quite a few people who work at the HQ in Shirebrook (granted, not in the warehouse, where 90 odd per cent are eastern european migrant workers) and without exception they all speak incredibly highly of Mike Ashley. The pay and conditions are excellent and the bonuses can be astronomical. He doesn't pay dividends to shareholders as he prefers to share the profits amongst his employees, I know of no other place that does this. Seems fashionable to kick a bloke for being successful, listening to various union mouthpieces and guardian readers on the radio yesterday you could be forgiven for thinking he was britains biggest ****, when the facts from people who actually work there are the polar opposite.

Shirebrook, that takes me back. Worked around there in the early 90's. Quite a bleak place to say the least. Funny place because it has the feel of being in Notts, but is actually in Derbyshire. I noticed a lot of resentment towards the Notts miners from the locals in my time there, who they saw as strike breakers and quislings.A little balance required I think...

As to what you say about Ashley, most successful businessmen have a retinue of acolytes among their senior and middle management. Succesful businessmen are usually highly manipulative people who appreciate the value of enlisting the support of acquiescent lieutenants and sergeants. They understand how important it is to have motivated people to do their bidding. I believe you judge the character of an employer by how he treats the lowest paid in his organisation.
