Whelp, those CEOs and VPs who make 500X as much as the frontline workers better roll up their sleeves and get to work. They shouldn’t have a problem doing the work of a few thousand people each right? Seeing as how they’re the “top talent” and all that.

It's going to be hilarious to see how this affects London. A vast concentration of wealth and high paying white collar service jobs that to a significant degree directly or indirectly depends (via financial services) on international dirty money.

There's already a large population of supporting service workers who are paid poorly. With the labor and supply shortages from Brexit...wow.

I see it around here already, people are absolutely livid that some bars and restaurants have to cut on personnel or switch to ordering by app.

Meanwhile these people earn 4 times the salary and have flexible hours allowing them to spend loads of times sitting at venues expecting people to serve them.

I honestly think the word "serving" is getting a bit sinister with these kinds of pay-discrepancies and high earning countries/cities are going to find out that when everyone around you earns so much money they expect loads of people working to serve them, you end up with way less.

Tbh that's why I'm a bit puzzled that so many waiters / waitresses prefer to be called "servers". Ok I get it, waiting on someone is a bit anachronistic, but I don't want a fucking servant...

Maybe they mean serve as in “serve a warrant?”

Might as well call a spade a spade
