Re: Rupert Murdoch's Salary
A friend of mine works for Sky in London. She said that James Murdoch cancelled alot of the top bosses bonuses last year, I think it was, and used that money to give the lower level workers extra holiday leave. He also stopped the big wigs from having their own posh xmas parties and made them have the same xmas party as all the other staff were doing.
James is highly regarded by the majority of the staff at Sky...or so I am told.
