Admiral insurance company boss gives 10 million to staff. He retires, leaves the company but shows recognition that he would not have earned all his millions if it was not because of the staff.
That's a refreshing change and a nice gesture.

Lovely gesture - sure it'll cheer up his employees after what has been a crap year.
Similar to what the Richer Sounds chap did last year.

I worked for a company for 25+ years.
When the two owners sold up and shared the best part of £350 million, the majority of the 500 workforce got sweet F.A. Not even a few quid for a party.
The only ones who ensured their pockets were well and truly lined were the half a dozen divisional directors.

That’s awful, and you say that they hadn’t been paying you for the work that you did for all those years?When the two owners sold up and shared the best part of £350 million, the majority of the 500 workforce got sweet F.A. Not even a few quid for a party.

Hard to believe that they would go back on their promise to give their family’s money to a load of people that they don’t know. Did you take legal advice about breach of contract?

I suppose you think a few quid for a party is entightlement as well?
