Loading ...Slowly going back to serfdom? Billionaire Mining Tycoon’s New Diktat: Don’t Go Out For Coffee During Work Hours
Do not leave the building, or take a coffee break – these are among the new instructions an Australian mining boss plans to give all his employees. The billionaire said this was costing their company a fortune and hence they plan to “hold staff captive all day long”.
Chris Ellison, the managing director of Mineral Resources, has announced that his company will install amenities at their head office in Perth which ensures that employees do not leave the building during their work hours.
During a financial results presentation, Ellison expressed his disapproval of staff leaving the building to buy coffee or work from home, stating that it’s costing the company too much money.
“I want to hold them captive all day long. I don’t want them leaving the building. I don’t want them walking down the road for a cup of coffee. We kind of figured out a few years ago how much that costs.”
