    This is deliberately inflammatory.

    JLR have been struggling for a couple of years now, and as the supply chain partner, it’s DHLs obligation to reduce costs. The pandemic has merely exacerbated that need; the people on that contract and surrounding it have seen this coming for miles.

    The salaries of 2,200 individuals doesn’t come close to the scale of the global bonus, when you consider that most of these are directly paid for by JLR anyway.

    Grow up.

      Hi Salty Boat,

      Interesting comment. Unsubstantiated, but interesting nonetheless.

      So what number you have in mind, and on what basis (including pension considerations), when you say “The salaries of 2,200 individuals doesn’t come close to the scale of the global bonus”?

      Best regards,

      Ale

        Not very unsubstantiated.. the article says 2,200 employees. If each of these employees is making €80K/year then that total is less than €2M. It says the bonus cost €200M so I think it’s more about that part of the operation not being strategic to hold on to
