Yeah I’m deeply sorry I didn’t get my bonus this year....but thanks for my half a million last year , cheers 😡

How much did he get paid out I ask

So what about the large bonuses he took and a large salary increase,is he sorry enough to pay it all back?

Give ya “bonus” back then

Like the Carilion bosses. They all say 'Deeply sorry' but keep the bonuses.

Well it’s a bit too bloody late now innit 🙄🙄

That’s sound then Peter as long as your deeply sorry and you still live in your mansion with your millions tucked away whilst us hard working people have been screwed over and thousands have lost their jobs , as long as your deeply sorry it’s all ok , you absolute weapon

Whilst having interest on his 15million bonus payment!!! Cretin
