W illiam Hill cut pay of manager's twice in eighteen months !

how can they justify 2 pay cuts while announcing huge profits?

i hope your friend finds another job

He tells me, they've built in a ''reduction to £20 max '' into there business model !

are the area/regional managers getting similar treatment? And the Directors getting reduced bonus rates?

a business model built on non risk/non gambling (namely FOBTs) has to end.......the men at the top are still dining out..

proper job yfdsc?  any different to your missus working 7-12 in a chip shop 6 nights a week?

make sure sandra's opened the shop up and she's switched all the fobt's on. 

then back home in time for homes under the hammer.

Do William hill sell pineapple fritters now ,I might start going in a bit more

One with mum written on it

was it an okay job thirty years ago RM, where people used them all the time and many done their brains on a daily basis backing horses and dogs they couldnt even see.

Yes, which is 90 % of the business.
In days gone by they read the Sporting Life,knew a bit about sport and if you like, earned their keep.
Not any more, and the delight on their faces when some poor bugger walks out skint, is sickening to me.
I'm out.
Defend it if you will, but I wont be around to listen.

FOBTs are a bit over 50% of their high street turnover

generally most betting shop staff couldn't give a toss about racing/sports/betting and most are clueless although I haven't come across many that I have suspected that they take pleasure in people losing

If fobt is the high street bookies main source of revenue and if some of them will have to close in the event of a massive reduction in maximum stake allowed then sobeit. There are many other more respectable businesses and employment to be involved in; this form of revenue/trade is an indecent and deceptive way of obtaining money from the venerable and least privileged through addiction.

Fobt should never be allowed in any high street bookie. Instead they should only be confined to establishment such as private clubs and/or casinos because of its addictive quality and the ramifications it generates.

they work more hours than the bakers cat for very very poor pay just few pennies more tham min

its part of a phat cat culture where ony a few big cheeses get all the spoils
every bet not collected goes into a big phat cat kitty and is shared among
the elete  , id you think they are tight laddies did not even take their staff for a Crimbo night out
despite getting £50 per head tax free beak from inland revenue, every company gets a one of tax rebate of £50 per man/woman to take them out once a year ie xmas night out and claim it back
what they done was spend it all in the phat cats and the shop floor workers got a card !
the greed is obscene not even afforded a xmas night out while the elete few sip  champagne
workers like hamsters on a wheel , being asked for more and more for less , i know some nice people who work for these companies they dont get home to 10 pm and start at 10 am be better stacking shelves less stress

Hal thank fook you don't have too far to go b4 you can put ya feet up

Just heard that a shop I used to punt in many years ago b4 they decided to ban anyone that had a Scooby and turn the place into an amusement arcade is due to close in the near future - big shock to a lot of the staff within said company as the shop was one of the best for trade/profit for many years in the area but went down the fbots route as per company procedure when it was a cash cow for em and yet now nobody punts in there - karma has well and truly come home to roost and this is b4 any reductions to the fbots regs

you luv a luvbite don't ya
