RE: Tesco recognition pleasing to read.9 Apr 2020 12:00
Yep ditto all those posts and very well worded, nice one !
This morning's paper coverage is all about how come Tesco can still be paying dividends when everyone else is cancelling them to save money because of Covid-19. Why is everyone up in arms ???
How about looking at the company as an institution serving the British public during this pandemic, the trolly staff, the cashiers, the shelf fillers, the packaging team, the delivery drivers etc. all putting their lives on the line through their own choice.
Most of these staff don't 'earn a great wage and there are quite a few of them that participate in the company's share option scheme as well. By retaining the dividend helps them all enormously as they can have the option to also re-invest these dividends tax free back into the share purchasing scheme of the company.
Good on you Tesco !!!!
