Arf arf, well done crapita

I'm proud that Capita will be the first company in decades to appoint employees to its board

At first, I'm thinking ok, which board? And which board meetings do they attend? Surely contentious stuff will just move to the pre-meeting or post-meeting where the plebs won't attend. But no, read on and this gem awaits...

The new members will be paid the same annual fee and expenses as other non-exec directors: £64,500.

In essence then, get paid 4 or 5 times your market rate for an opportunity literally no other employer will ever give you, and in return all you have to do is play nice. That, and hope the shareholders don't vote you down at the next AGM.

I can only imagine the giggles when this little agenda item came up at the last board meeting.
