At best opportunistic at worst completely amoral and would reflect badly on the industry which for the most part has not felt the real impact of cv-19 either mentally or financially.

I hope that’s a very poor joke on his behalf.

Best discuss that idea with your employees

Twitter the home of the twit.

Glad I don’t use Twitter

Who's paying for all this free money. Will it be via direct taxation or indirect eg capital gains or pensions.

Well it's something that crossed my mind .....not doing it cos a, I have no staff and b, not an arable farmer ,but I did wonder would it happen ........biggest worry to the employer that does it would be 'who on earth will check the grain store / spud store while they are off skiing !....furloughed staff back on 'cash in the hand' perhaps .

Flicking down his feed and see a new grain store, an electric Porsche but doesn’t want to pay his staff ??

He’s a typical one who plays the system. A few like that around here. I call them subsidy chasers.

Jealousy isn't very becoming. A grain store isn't likely to have been built based on this year's business profits, it will be a long term capital investment. As to the fancy cars, so what? Does it matter what someone chooses to spend their personal money on? I doubt even @Clive could manage to get that one through as a farm truck.

Glad I work for a farming business that values my input to the business and me as a person

Certainly not jealousy, I see a successful business and one which is presumably profitable with projects on the go but doesn’t want to keep staff involved or employed with it which seems odd to me...
