Billionaire businessman and host of The Apprentice TV show, Lord Sugar, has hit out at people who work from home, calling them "lazy". He also said they should be paid less because they saved on commuting costs.
He was posting on Twitter in response to a segment run on Good Morning Britain about the cost of living crisis. During the discussion, business owner Geeta Sidhu-Robb suggested that employees working remotely actually saved their companies money as home-workers end up having to pay more for energy bills.
But Tina Knight disagreed, arguing that those who work from home instead make a saving on commuting costs, meaning companies shouldn’t have to pay them any extra. Lord Sugar also thought that home-workers should be declined a pay rise, reports BirminghamLive.
