Yeah, I'd say that ouch is reserved for everyone that works at Fairfax and the smaller shareholders. For Gina, the loss would be the same as you and I walking down and buying the weekly shopping. Feel it for sure, but won't affect your life one iota.

This reminds me soooo much of Ansett. Workers demanding higher pay, workers demanding better rights, workers demanding not only a say how the company is run.....but in this case, full and utter control in what the product is they pump out. I suppose the Directors are up in the boardroom...

.....and the only people left to buy the left wing rags will be right wing business people.....ouch !!! :D

Agreed....

You ask some very silly questions sometimes, especially when the answers are staring you in the face. ....because she is a free woman, and she has every right under the law...just as every citizen in this country has, not to sign a document if she doesn't agree with what is written on that...

Nice summary oracle. Looks like the typical company where the management don't own substantial stock and are just in it for the gravy and bonus. Sort of the opposite of Warren Buffett. Unfortunately, you seem to have your business hat on oracle. This won't do. It's all about jobs /...

So, just saw a report that Reinhart is seeking 3 board seats 'without unsuitable conditions'. She obviously wants editorial control....or a portion of it.....rather than nil. One thing that doesn't gel with me is, she's purchased 18% of the stock, so I would have thought with a board of...

Why complicate things - simple things work. Complicated things are notorious for breaking down and not working at all. Robust my boy - go look that word up !! :) .....it depends on your definition of 'far right'. I raised the issue in the initial post that the boss and/or owner of a...

Yeah, it wasn't really a suggestion - more like stating the bleedin' obvious. I've never seen a company, ever, where the bosses have no say in what the workers do and/or produce. I was under the impression the ultimate decision making body of any company was the Board of Directors. That...

Dunno and don't care what they eat, but obviously if there are only 10 people left, it proves once and for all that the job market isn't that tight. If Australians can easily afford to quit a well paying job, then that speaks volumes. The news (TV and radio) a few days ago were making a big...

Thank you. I would hope that ratio was about right, I'd prefer it to be slightly higher, but 99% will do for now. I'm a very forward thinking long range type of chap, not one to dwell on the past or the present. Much better to have your sights trained at the front of the ship - seeking both...

I think it's valid for every business - bar none. For some reason media companies like to think of themselves as special.....I reckon Fairfax is about to find out they are not. I read that GR intends on supplanting the Hungry Jacks boss Jack Cowin into the board as well. It sounds as if the...

What of their concern ?? Is the concern about the control aspect, or is it about the "special" case media try and portray themselves as.....i.e. they are not a 'normal' business. What is a business owner supposed to do when a certain percentage of the workforce wish to go in a different...

It seems the young folk don't so much....but up and down my street, almost everyone has one paper on their lawns in the morning, some have two, and on weekends it's common to have three sitting there on the lawn. A lot of elderly folk (30+) spend a good portion of their day reading the paper...

...true, but I was under the impression that the 'product' Fairfax was dishing out was the same regardless of the medium...whether it was on paper or on the internet. Perhaps I'm wrong, but when a journo writes an article, I thought it was the same ?? Do they really write two separate and...

I'm reading all of the brouhaha surrounding the latest round of re-positioning, and our home grown WA lass with a bag of cash buying up stuffy left wing wannabes and their east coast rags. David Marr, the abomination who was on that dreadful episode of Q&A slagging off Ms Rinehart for all he...
