geared Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 From the sounds of it Tesco needs to get rid of a bunch of the top brass along with those jets, the new chief executive should have those in his sights next. They've been loosing ground in the market for ages, it's no wonder as they've been splashing out on stupid things like private jets!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppet2 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 What annoys me is the way supermarkets have expanded. They are now in every high street and in many cases less than a mile away from their larger stores. How much more of the market/our money do they want? The fact that they have muscled in everywhere is what puts me of them in general, yet still pay many if their staff just above the minimum wage, according to last night's panorama, leaving people to rely on tax credits. The bosses messed up so they must go. Distribute some of their mega bucks salary to the shop floor workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) The new CEO Dave Lewis seems to be a no nonsense type of boss. The short shrift approach of getting rid of the private jets seems like an indicator of what is to follow in the next few months. I think that if anyone can turn the business around he will be the man to do it. He has reignited their old scheme of head office staff being ordered to work on the shop floor in the run up to Christmas. I feel we will see some positive results from this guy. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/epic/tsco/11134197/Tesco-bosses-ordered-back-to-shop-floor.html Edited October 8, 2014 by Janus Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzijlstra Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I do dream of money, sad isn't it. Had a look at an Alcocopter as well, but don't like the running costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defecate 3 dozen fray bentos pies and keep them in a plastic container for 3 weeks..it'll keep the AC up for a day. I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
