      Water bosses are just blatantly being like supervillains at this point, huh?

    2. ToxicHazard- on

      This is why ‘bonus’ bans are pointless

      It needs to be a total compensation cap

      A job enhancement scheme installment.

      A standard wage consignment addition.

      A rectification of compensation package.

      I’m sure there’s plenty of ways they could make up bullshit alternatives.

      It’s clearly just a bonus. Claiming it’s a payment to retain important leadership figures is ridiculous when they’re failing as badly as they are. The issue is that they’re failing their customers and the environment, but they’re not failing the shareholders. This is just another clear sign that privatisation has failed and we need to nationalise it all.

      Water boss sounds like something out of the Mad Max universe.

      Aren’t these monopolies? You can’t change supplier unless you change area?

      Do we not have anti-monopoly laws here? Also, why is a basic commodity for profit anyway?

      Fuck these people.

      All water companies need to be fined onto oblivion and then nationalised.

      >Mark Thurston, chief executive of industry giant Anglian Water, pocketed the “retention” payment as part of near £1.86million package for last year. He also banked more than £450,000 this month under a separate scheme

      Am sorry. What ?

      Had the wettest start to the year and now he imposes a hosepipe ban…. Great

      You’d think with all that money he’d get a decent haircut.

    11. HaphazardJoker258 on

      Should be fined out of existence. Make the water service public again

    12. B23vital on

      Can someone explain to me why it’s so hard for the government to actually do something about this?

      Like is it hard, or do Labour and Conservative care that little is just virtue signaling

    13. Bullshit_Brummie on

      As a customer, perhaps we all need to stop paying our bills, all at once in protest. Or maybe pop round his house and make our displeasure obvious and loud. Commenting on here while entertaining will not change the abhorrent behaviour of these types.

      Great system we have in this country isn’t it…. And it’s the same in every fuckn sector…. Wasn’t privatisation a great idea

    15. NagromNitsuj on

      All these failing companies that are on the rob need to be told, there will be no bonus payments until bills are driven down and standards are met. Now is the time for real leadership. Act on our behalf.

      It’s disgusting what salary they get. The job isn’t that difficult….. and why don’t their staff get a bonus for staying? ……and now we have a hosepipe ban!

    17. Kwayzar9111 on

      disgusting…. fix 75% of leaks then you *may* have a bonus

    18. Valuable-Ad2028 on

      Fair is fair. If you hire a thief and he steals billions for you and you’re getting off scot free, it seems mean not to slip the guys going all the work a few mil.

      /s

      In Yorkshire the boss was paid a **£660,000** “consultation fee” by the company that owns Yorkshire Water.

    20. pepperino132 on

      How have they been allowed to do this for so many years?

      Why haven’t parliament put a stop to this robbery?

      No wonder faith in politics is eroding.

      Honestly it’s quite easy what needs to happen. Enforce the pollution and spills correctly, ensure they have to pay significant monetary penalties, watch as they cannot pay anymore and ask shareholders for more money, continue the cycle until they go bankrupt and then nationalise them.

    22. KennethKestrel on

      It’s about time we started speaking with our wallets. I mean, what are they gonna do if we all stopped paying our bills?

    23. Utility company bosses getting massive payouts confuse me.

      They aren’t ‘performance-related’ as engineers and lower-paid staff do all the maintenance, repairs and customer interfacing. These people just hide at the top.

      Being a resource anything needs, why are there even people in charge of it?
