I like how you keep saying the directors personal wealth is irrelevant and accumulated over however long, but it’s the employees personal “wealth” the directors are asking for! It’s likely his employees have sod all accumulated in terms of cash and other assets. Why should the employees be...

It might not have seemed doomed at the time of expansion, but certainly a huge risk and they will have known that - and it's certainly looking doomed now. If it only needs a small amount of money to tide over a short amount of time, then he can use a bit of his personal wealth instead of his...

Look at the RHPD link - he has plenty of mature, money-making business with valuable underlying assets (property) that he can make use of (and take business loans out against). So no, it's not 'at the start' - he's been in the hospitality business since he opened Hide bar in Yarm back in god...

I don't doubt they will be struggling with 12 venues, and yes nobody will know the true details unless you are a director or decision maker in the company. However, I do know that the director has a significant amount of personal wealth, and begs the question why he isn't willing to let some of...

If it fails, it is the responsibility of the director and the decision makers involved with the doomed lockdown expansion - not the regular staff. So why should they be threatened (having your "suitability for the role reviewed" sounds like a threat to me, despite what's been said already on...

I'm sure those lads could afford to live it up; watching £2.5k roll in every month without lifting a finger sounds like a great deal in anyone's book. But being able to claim just short of the maximum available furlough money through employment at Rolls Royce, a large and very well established...

Agree with most points, but again, the 80% salary equating to £1,200 a month will be way out for the majority of people who work there - don't forget that a significant majority will just be young part timers working on a weekend, and maybe picking up one or two evenings during the week. And...

Well following on from that point, why should the company potentially financially break their far less well-off employees to cover business overheads accrued irresponsibly over the pandemic? I can understand the logic to some extent, and like others have said, they could have offered an...

Indeed - but it's the assumption that his employees have been living it up on 80% salary (and that's for those on living wage, let alone minimum) for the duration of the pandemic when in reality, they are most likely to be just getting by on £7 an hour on part-time hours. I managed to get away...

It’s not really a startup business - the guy that runs them has vast experience in retail and hospitality and should know better than this. And yes, FFS we are in a pandemic, now is not the time to be expanding in the worst hit sector and threatening your minimum wage staff with redundancy when...

Tomahawk might still have some rainy day savings if they hadn’t blown the lot opening ten new venues in a pandemic though...

Perhaps not strictly in full lockdown but they have expanded rapidly (and in my opinion, recklessly) before and during the pandemic, including opening a new Steakhouse venue in London in December 2020, the old French place in Boro in November 2020, Acklam Hall in September 2020, a Tomahawk...
