highest paid boss in the uk

[Yossarian]

For £145k an hour, how long would you work before you jacked it in?

I'd work hard for decades until I'd accumulated a huge pile of cash, then I'd give almost all of it away to good causes. Or until I got fired for coming back from lunch drunk on expensive liquor too often, whichever came first...

 

[Pickman's model]

And the day you walk out, you lose £1,160,000 - worth sticking around until the end of the day, dude...

bet their notice period's something like three months

Does anyone actually know if she/ her company does any " good" with all that money?Apart from paying a huge amount in UK tax, which I'm quite surprised at.

Whatever "good" is or is not done would be dwarfed by what could be done if their wedge was sequestered, as it will be CTR.

I once resigned from a job that had a fucking SIX month notice period.

They got the message after a couple of weeks, that it was in everyone's best interest that I should be allowed to go straight away.

Just phone in sick each day, they'd soon get pissed off paying you...

I found that just being honest to my colleagues about what I thought about the shit managers I was working with was enough.

An estimated 50,000 children in the UK displaying problematic gambling behaviours because of sites like this. And she gets an honour. And obscene pay, for doing fractions of zero in work terms.

What would I learn from this, if I was a child growing up in Britain today?

I may run out of despairing expletives

Fixed-odds betting terminal limit U-turn to save 120 lives

Former sports minister Tracey Crouch said, on average, one person hooked on fixed-odds betting terminals takes their life each working day.

Trousering just over a million quid for every suicide.

Filthy greedy scum lining her pockets with profits from the misery of the less fortunate.

Sequestered?

 

[8ball]

For £145k an hour, how long would you work before you jacked it in?

1 day a week, for 3 weeks, each tax year. And actually pay it.

all bosses line their pockets with profits from the misery of the less fortunate, she just has thicker lining and deeper pockets made all the comfier (by her lights) by the greater misery of her less fortunate

Sequestered?

From Sequester, another word for Sequesterate, "take forcible possession of (something); confiscate"

 

[Brainaddict]

Sometimes you see no option but to make them scared of us.

True. But they actually are, which is why this particular minnow is presented as being at the top.

Ah right.

Gambling ads are incessant in this country. I'm not usually up for banning things when the vast amount of people don't have a problem with it, but the sheer amount of gambling ads on TV, online, on the side of football pitches, in snooker, darts, on player shirts, is fucking ridic. Not to mention Ray Winstone's stupid head.

I say get rid of the ads. We can all live in a world without them without our freedom to gamble being impacted. It's time to start treating it like cigarettes and just get rid of all the advertising. The only people whining about it will be these millionaire scumbags who profiteer off gambling addicts and the poor in general.

 

[likesfish]

definitely time for restrictions
like guns Guns are fun but unfettered access to guns is not a good thing.
Gambling can be fun but there are nearly 2 million problem gamblers in the UK I play Euromillions that said I don't play every week and can leave it.
my estate has lost its bookies and its been replaced by cafe Haylea's Cafe although internet means you dont need one anymore not that you needed one anyway.

Master of stating the bleeding obvious!

 

[Chester Copperpot]

“Ofcourse if people didn't gamble then she would'nt be able to be so disgustingly rich, I've never gambled in my life, no need for it at all. Infact, the whole point of it is that it's a con because the odds are so stacked against you, that's the main reason it exists, so you are actually at a loss, to make scum like her stinking rich.“

I thought this one got the award for most bleeding obvious quote of the day

Depends on the game.

 

[nardy]

Depends on the game.

Precisely. In bets of skill, such predicting the outcomes of horse races, it's possible to gain in the long run. In racing, the "over-round" (the bookies' built-in profit of around 1.5% per runner) must be overcome, but this can be achieved by backing horses where the odds are greater than their actual chance of winning. In games of no skill, such as roulette, then of course the house will always win in the long run.

I couldn't hear terribly well, but this did come up in QT last night. The company is based in Gibraltar and apart from propping up a football club, they are reported to have given £100 million to charity. I also gather they treat their employees well.
From a radio article, I gather they are waiting to break in to the US market as they have/are relaxing their gaming laws. If she and her company make that much now, just wait until they have a toe in the US

I know a couple of serious sports betters who claim to turn a small profit over time. However, they are constantly getting accounts closed or limited by scum like this who are only interested in easy pickings. She needs shooting.
