Like so many other 'issues' the powerful still look after themselves... www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35408064I'm not picking on '***co', but they were the ones back in the 70s when I was a van salesman delivering to stores with dairy products, and I would not get 'shelf space' without a 'gratis' pot of cream for the weekend to the dept manager. The stakes just got bigger and we now have a 'corrupt' system of business which will take decades to eradicate, if ever.

I suppose it depends on the persons definition of corrupt. As a non business person I would say it was morally wrong, but morals and business don't seem to go together these days.

A good friend of mine worked for a big supermarket chain..could even be this one! Who knows!
But it was common practice for them to not get paid their overtime etc. Quite shocking really.

A few years ago not long after the crash ( caused by greedy bankers) I was talking to a guy whilst on holiday in Cyprus, He was a banker from New Zealand and working in the city.
His actual words were and I quote 'The City" is corrupt to the core, and only remains as it is due to the fact that the true extent of what's going on is kept hushed up, and if the beans were ever spiller the whole lot would come crashing down around them!
