Sports Direct shop staff to each net '£43,000 bonus'

"Two thousand shop staff at Sports Direct were celebrating after landing a shares windfall worth on average more than £43,000 each for beating sales and profits targets. Sports Direct, founded by former squash coach Mike Ashley 29 years ago, has hit its target for the second year in a row, with profits up 25 per cent for the year ending this April. This means its staff are set for a shares windfall worth more than twice their average salary of £20,000. It is believed to be the largest shares bonanza of its kind ever to be handed out to shop staff in Britain. While other high street stores are struggling, the company - whose boss also owns Newcastle United - has surged ahead with its business.


Staff at the discount sportswear chain, which also owns Sports World, Lillywhites and brands including Slazenger, Lonsdale and Dunlop, who are entitled to the share pay-out are those that have been on the payroll for two years. Each will receive an average £30,960 share payout, and in addition will net a bonus payout for meeting the previous year’s target, which means they will each pocket an average total of £43,860."-- Daily Mail website.

Okay... let me get this right. A shop that sells everything with a tag on it saying 75% off (yeah right - like it was ever 75% more!). All undoubtly manufactured in sweatshops in the far east... and more importantly employs the most retarded chimpanzees known to the retail sector is paying out bonus' of £43,000 to said monkeys. I f*cking give up. Have you ever had a good experience in one of these shops? The staff are total f*ckwits... there is barely a f*cking braincell amongst any of them. And they get a £43,000 bonus. I despair.

But more importantly... what I find incredible is that the bloke who owns Sports Direct is actually rewarding the staff in this way. Surely bosses in his position would simply pocket the money for themselves? Weird.

Rant over.
