      Crap clothing design and treats their staff like crap. Terrible company to work for.

      This is also the problem with automating a lot of the grunt work in other job fields.

      It works great with all your experienced you have at the moment, but what happens 10 years down the line when they’ve moved on and you never hired people at a lower level to learn/progress?

      Wait till he discovers where the mythical senior level staff comes from in 10 years time

      Surprisingly not about AI for a change.

      TLDR: Next boss, a Tory peer who was paid £7 million last year, is concerned about a rise in the number of applicants for jobs at next and would like to see minimum wage/employer NI contribution rises reversed and the ban on zero hour contracts stopped because:

      >“When people talk about a company making a billion pounds, they assume that that’s somehow a person with a billion pounds in their pocket and they must be very, very rich. But the nature of public companies is that we are owned by hundreds of thousands of savers whose savings are often very modest,“

      Is it any surprise when this government is actively hostile to any idea of job creation and economic growth for this country?

      Next make a very nice profit so not sure i feel too sorry for him pushing for zero hour contracts. He’s making a big deal of self service returns yet the staff are still needed to collect, scan and sort them for return – i see it myself. Sounds like he’s just trying to make a point to the government.

      The irony is *incredible*.

      Next desperately need to be able to ‚hire‘ people on zero hours contracts, presumably so they don’t have to pay them if they don’t need to, and also reduce the NI they don’t pay them. And the government are making that impossible!

      And all because they are *only* expected to make **£1.2 billion in profit** this year! However will this guy be able to afford another yacht???

      The same man who takes home millions a year in salary but refuses to pay the workers in the factories that make his clothes a livable wage?

      Considering Next clears 1 billion profit a year, and has done so constantly for 10 years and has restricted its internal mid management teams with a 5 year pay freeze and it has some of the strictest working conditions of the industry, it’s kind of crazy the nonsense they spew.

      But yep, gotta blame an increase on national insurance

      So the guy raking in millions is worried about entry-level jobs drying up, but his solution is just to make those jobs even crappier for the people who actually need them. And the classic „think of the pensioners“ deflection when he’s sitting on a massive pay packet is honestly getting old. We’re watching them saw off the bottom rung of the ladder and then act surprised when no one can climb up.

      It’s OK guys, young people don’t need jobs. It’s not like it’s going to cause a violent revolution with all of the 1% against a wall or anything.
