the stinking enigma Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I thought I read somewhere that fox media had bought a 5 or 10 percent stake in pokerstars? I took this to mean a re-opening to the American market was on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Is the Head of Pokerstars a HNWI? Is there not an obligation of these people to recognise the concession that they have been afforded and to provide some comfort to their employees in return for their own privileged position in our generous tax system? Ten employees!!! Half a million quid! As if they couldn't absorb that out of their immoral earnings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This company was sold again since he sold his stake in the business. This particular HNWI uses local services and craftsman and I understand he actually pays people the agreed price and on time, unlike other HNWIs who argue the toss and tell people to ‘sue me’, Incidentally our poor excuse for a supposed state Propaganda Mouthpiece has said sweet FA on its news website - perhaps Starship Enterprise are colluding to bury this bad news, Pathetic really. In the past, The Job Centre hit squad would be sent into the workplace to try and get those being given the boot, first pickings of any jobs that may come into the market. Not really sympathetic to newly redundant or laid off staff. Would also be nice if HRH The Chief Minister could have acknowledged job losses and given his citizens some reassurance.

Non-Believer Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 If this is true numbers wise, there'll be no hurry to publicise this by Govt. Remember, e-gaming is the, "Can do no wrong" saviour of our economy. Methinks things are starting to unravel a bit over here. Expect recruitment of more spin doctors by Cabinet Office to mask bad news. They're trying to put a positive spin on Flybe's pullout at the moment too.

It’s gone corporate now the main founders have got out and you can’t control corporate businesses as they will just do what they need to do to cut cost and maximize profits and survive. Government should know that by now. There is no loyalty at all once the main share owner becomes distanced from the local management team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, some of us do try, but in many cases, sadly, there is not a great deal even before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trmpton Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 One of the local recruitment agencies were recruiting for a “established” gaming company who are relocating here.
