  • Elvis Costello not suited to sales role

    Line managers of sales staff might sympathise with Universal Music. Although plenty of managers will have sales staff who just won’t work hard enough, or refuse to up-sell, few will have to deal with staff issuing statements discouraging customers from buying their products. But this is just what Elvis Costello has done - taking to his website...

  • What's in a name?

    Image: Rex Features Reading the very excellent Flip Chart Fairytales blog on income inequality and some analysis of the faulty logic behind senior management pay , Guru was struck by a neat corollary between nonsense job titles and the pay debate.

So, Guru has been...

  • Capello puts work before son's wedding

    Image: Rex Features Fabio Capello gets paid a lot of money to watch some football matches and very occasionally tell English footballers to run onto a pitch and play football.

  • Ministers put professionalism in the bin

    Image: Rex Features Vince Cable used to be the one man in the world who saw the credit crunch coming. Now he’s the man who doesn’t pay his taxes and puts confidential documents in public bins .
