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?

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.

Why did the Treasury publicly mention this gentleman’s salary?

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???
