Lots of heartbreaking stories being reported re the hardships this is causing employees.
Thomas cook staff notified by text at 5am don’t come to work
Employees working abroad including Jamaica, reps and cabin crew on changeovers lost jobs and left stranded
Virgin are stepping up and flying these people home
Also reports from government that TC executives received up to 47 million quid in bonuses this year even though they were running a failing company
Govt telling them to hand the money back. Yeah right
Seems TC rented everything planes, shops and office bases, so not much company assets.
People on holidays now are being demanded for money by hotel owners or face eviction due to payments to them being paid in arrears. Not everyone can pay for holidays twice .
In the U.K. we pay for balanced on packages 8-10 weeks before travel so why tour companies then pay suppliers up to 90 days in arrears makes no sense to me.
What a mess
