That's the way to do it

In Britain, we've heard lately of large companies making billions of pounds of profits (particularly some of the utilities) while their customers struggle to pay increasing prices, and their staff do not receive bonuses which reflect those profits.

This story has shown that there's another way, and that there are boards out there in the world who recognise the value of the people who put in the work which creates those profits in the first place. One interesting thing is that many of the employees actually phoned to check if a mistake had been made – thereby displaying integrity and honesty, and a sense of loyalty that had been earned by their employer's decency and was being reflected back at them.

Good on them. If only there were more such companies about.
