I just read on the news that Chris Moyles had a bit of a rant on his radio show yesterday morning about not having been paid for two months. He was back on air this morning, standing by what he’d said the previous day, and defending himself with the statement that he’s “not a morning person”.
One could questions why a non-morning person is hosting a radio show that kicks off at 6:30am, but back to the topic in hand. Why has he not been paid?
He’s employed by the BBC which takes over £150 a year of most households’ money in license fees, a slice of which goes to the radio stations. A portion of this should be making its way into Chris Moyles’ bank account on a monthly basis. For some reason this hasn’t happened.
Is it an administrative cockup? A form not being filled? A banking error?
Personally, I’m assuming it’s a hint.
Chris – bugger off. You’re a **** DJ.
I sometimes have Moyles on in the morning, mostly he is annoying, sometimes a bit funny. Aside from that and who he is though, it’s bad that his employer can’t sort out his wages. If that were me, I’d be knackered as would still have to pay monthly bills and I’m sure it’d be the same for him. No, I don’t feel sorry for him cos of his big wage packet but the Beeb must be breaching some employment laws by not paying him. Who will fork out the legal costs there? Us….
You’re right. Far cheaper and easier to just sack him and get it done with.
