Although Lambshank’s numerous MK-related posts over the months have generally been rather speculative, lots of what he says does ring true of how a lot of people here feel about the company at the moment. Salary cuts were imposed retrospectively back in the summer of 2009, and staff were then blackmailed into accepting this cut, (shamelessly packaged as an ‘incentive scheme’), until at least summer 2010, when it will be up for review.
