Fat Cat Friday Should Shatter the Myth That Britain’s Bosses Deserve Their Pay


THE GUARDIAN: Top executives now earn 133 times more than the average worker. They can no longer rationalise this growing inequality

Please raise a glass – if you’re not doing Dry January, of course – to our nation’s exceptionally talented CEOs and their superhuman work ethic and skills.

They must truly deserve the 11% hike in their salaries since last year, unlike millions of good-for-nothing slackers like nurses and teachers who have endured years of stagnating pay. » | Owen Jones | Friday, January 4, 2019
