    Obviously the many people who will lose their jobs feel the repercussions but hey exec man doesn't give a fook about them.
    Its the same with certain "failed" Premier managers, they save a club from relegation possibly once, that means they get jobs from another five or six clubs on the strength of that, regardless of outcome. You can see how desperate Chairman are not to get relegated from the cash cow that is the premier league

    Maybe DHL's systems don't have bucket as a valid unit of measurement.

    What's the betting DHL left a "Sorry we missed you..." card, inviting them to collect their chicken from the nearest depot?

    I do wonder at what point on the management ladder you get a brain transplant that makes it a good decision to go with the lowest bidder even when there is plenty of evidence that it's a stupid move. Surely not all senior execs are born stupid?
