[\quote] the fact that they have replied customers off by overcharging so much is not something I would applaud


To rip off many to distributeto a small clique is not something to applaud

Why should companies make let’s say a hundred million profit for example and not use that profit to help the people who created it in the first place to share in that success and help them get on and have a better or easier life? Now I’m sure this example company has a bonus scheme in place and the workers might get a 10% bonus, still decent I’ll accept. But 10% of 26k (used ave uk earnings) is £2.6k before tax still it’s better than nothing. Now the boss man who earns a million pounds a years receives a bonus of 500k before tax. Now that’s 50% bonus on a shed load of money verses 10% of not a lot of money.

A fairer distribution would be better and the fact that the company in the article did it should be appaulded rather than dig out. What we need is more companies doing the same.
