NSF,
Who can disagree with any of that?
Some interesting notes. Last year Ray said: "It has been a challenging year for many of easyJet’s people and I am grateful to them for their professionalism and dedication to our values and customer service. Our success is rooted in them and their ability to adapt, innovate and act, and we look forward to many more years of continued growth." Hasn't the message to the employees changed subtely.
Furthermore, some numbers. The DBA debacle cost us £7.8m. RW's salary went up 16% to £488k. On top of that he was awarded an annual bonus of £98k, plus an option of shares which netted him £1,377k. So that's nearly £2m for Ray.
I have no issues with someone earning a lot of money, but I do have issues with that person telling me I (who have worked my arse of to make that money for him) have to accept that my derisory annual salary has to be cut in order to keep the shareholders happy and wealthy.
