Burberry CEO 'Bout To Get Paid: Is This Money Gon' Trickle Down?
Burberry's CEO could be stackin' paper with a £12.2 million bonus, but what about the folks holdin' it down?

Aight, so check it. Burberry, that bougie brand y'all see in the music videos, might be 'bout to cut a fat check to its CEO, Joshua Schulman. We talkin' 'bout £12.2 million, fam. That's a whole lotta racks. They sayin' it's a bonus for hittin' certain targets, like makin' the stock price go up. Meanwhile, back on the block, folks still grindin' just to make rent. Schulman already pullin' in £4 million a year, which is more than most families see in a lifetime. Now, I ain't hatin' on a playa gettin' his, but what about the folks doin' the work? The ones stitchin' the clothes, sellin' the bags, keepin' the lights on? Are they gettin' a piece of that pie, or just crumbs? Burberry claimin' they turned a profit this year by cuttin' costs and bringin' back customers in China and North America. We all know what cuttin' costs usually means: layoffs, lower wages, and more work for the same pay. Ain't nothin' changed. And if Burberry is dependin' on customers from China and North America, what does this have to do with the community? Kate Ferry, the finance director, saw her pay DOUBLE to £2.5 million, I’m telling you ain't nothin' changed. Sounds like the rich gettin' richer, and everybody else stayin' in the same struggle. They sayin' Schulman's bonus is 'incentivizin',' but it seems more like a slap in the face to the workin' class. It's like they tellin' us, 'We value profits more than people.' Danuta Gray (whoever that is), the chair of Burberry's money committee (for lack of a better description), tryna say the bonus is 'reasonable.' Tell that to the single mom workin' two jobs just to feed her kids. Word is they votin' on this scheme next month. I'm bettin' it's gonna pass. Corporations are always gonna look out for themselves first. Question is, how we gonna look out for each other? How we gonna make sure everybody eats, not just the folks at the top? Time to hold these companies accountable and demand some real change. Less talk, more action. For real.
