Boss asks for a pay cut

I had to check the date on this one, but apparently the head of the Co-operative society has asked for a 40% pay cut (60% after bonuses and so on) because his job has become so much easier.

The head of the Co-operative Group has asked for a 40% cut to his base salary because the job has become easier. Chief executive Richard Pennycook says the business is now back "in calmer waters" and the reduction reflects the revised demands of the current job.

What an uncharacteristically selfless view.
