    Oh Rocco

    Seems we are all lazy beggars because we aren't working 24/7

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/a...work-home.html

    SIR ROCCO FORTE: From 'quiet quitters' to 'lazy girl jobs' and mollycoddled graduates, I worry Britain's become a nation of the workshy
    Apparently we need to be on call 24/7, working for free on minimum wage (think there are laws against that) and help colleagues for free in our own time.

    Brexit seems to have stripped employers of cheap labour and it hurts.
    Then Covid allowed people to not turn up at the office to be counted.

    Rocco did it so we should as well - give me a multi billion business and I might be interested.

    He runs hotels and supported B-it?

    Biting the hand that feeds him.

    He should know that not many British people have the language skills of those in Europe, and want to work in hospitality where there are irregular hours and low wages.

      Well I saw it first hand 40 years ago and its got worse (well for brits working in hospitality) post 2005 when all those nice young eastern Europeans arrived willing to work for minimum wage.

      In the 80s Hospitality was a terrible work choice, people are horrible to staff and its surprising how few diners have waiters thumping them for their rudeness. Never worked behind a hotel desk but viewing the way guests treat them again I am surprised at how few assaults there are.

      Alcoholism and sexual activity (some abusive) was rife.

          Hmm I thought that our exit agreement required a level playing field clause if we want to trade with the EU.

          Imagine if we had French labour laws
