Argos staff Christmas bonus cut by boss caught singing 'We're In The Money'

[editor]

Another fucking greedy cunt.

The millionaire boss caught on camera singing “We’re in the money” has halved Argos staff’s Christmas bonus to just £5.

Workers used to get £10 towards a seasonal bash before a takeover by Sainsbury’s – headed by Mike Coupe.

He was mocked after singing the 42nd Street ditty before an interview about a possible Sainsbury’s-Argos merger. Argos’ 16,000 sales staff earn a typical £11,931 a year.

That contrasts with the £3.9million package Mr Coupe pocketed after his bonus soared to £593,000.

Staff were told their bonus was cut to match Sainsbury’s, which bought Argos for £1.4billion in 2016.

CUNT

(eta, him, not editor)

 

[SpineyNorman]

He looks like a right wrong un too, the sort of person you'd call the police on if you saw them outside a primary school.

 

[Baronage-Phase]

I hope all those apples fall on him and crush him.... crush him hard.
Greedy pig.

£10 is an insult as it is but £5! WTAF?

Where is this ‘seasonal bash’ anyway? Greggs?

Tosser.

 

[maomao]

Thing is all the bosses who don't go around singing we're in the money are cunts too. He's sort of doing them a favour by being a more obvious cunt.

 

[Proper Tidy]

I thought the typical wage of under 12k a year worse than the xmas dinner thing, about £950 a month after NIC

Oh come on, they're giving a fiver to 16,000 people. That's got to add up. In fact, it's (just) over a week's worth of his 3.9million salary. You can't say fairer than that.

 

[Marty1]

Not simply a cunt but rather a mercenary cunt at that.

s’what got me too. He clears more in a month after tax than he pays his staff before tax in a year.

I can’t understand how anyone can live with that situation.

 

[Artaxerxes]

10 quid isn't a bonus, its less than a decent takeaway.

5 quid is an affront to human dignity.

Absolute mega-cunt of the highest order and I'm wondering at what stage people are just going to start kneecapping these cheeky rich fucks.

Suspect Sainsbury's/Argos will be gone in a few years. One squeezed by Tesco/Lidl/Aldi and the other sort of irrelevant in the age of Amazon.

Getting flashbacks to the time redundancies were announced at my company by MD who had just showed up in a brand new Merc.

On a more positive note, the good news is, I've been promoted, so... every cloud. You're still thinking about the bad news aren't you?

Same here.

 

[SpineyNorman]

Good news and indifferent news then

They should put him in stocks and allow workers to spend that generous £5 bonus on things in Sainsbury's they can pelt him with. Are they still doing 9p beans?

 

[Poi E]

No.

Clumps of mud would be free and environmentally friendly.

Still in the cans right?

Of course - if it has to be uncanned foods then I'm going with coconuts.

Sainsbury's are always mysteriously successful. Still the second biggest supermarket chain IIRC, despite being both more expensive and worse than any of its rivals. I agree that buying Argos was a shit move though.

You could cause just as much damage with their avocados although if you've only got £5 to spend then it'd have to be swedes.

Very expensive, and not all that good. Their pastrami is amongst the best, though. For a while, Aldi seemed to do exactly the same pastrami (looked to be manufactured to exactly the same spec, possibly by the same manufacturer...) at over a quid cheaper, but they lowered their game recently and went to a thicker cut.
