A pilot scheme where workers got full pay for doing just 4 days a week was recently hailed by those organising it as a triumph and among those wheeled out to boast of its success was David Richards MBE of Wandisco (WAND). claiming his company's sales had rocketed seven fold and productivity was up 25%. In fact...
Mr Richards was considering putting staff on a 3 day week for even bigger gains. Give the man awarded an MBE for offering up data to support bogus science in the scamdemic another gong. Unfortunately it today emerged that those sale numbers were driven by fraud and that, in fact were not $24 million as had been claimed but just $9 million. As a result of this Wandisco is now in a financial crisis which may well see it go bust, a $1 billion blow up.
Maybe if Richards puts his staff on a two day week on full pay it will be even better?
