Re: Virgin Media's Berkett paid £3.6m in 2009
He had a pay freeze, plus he didn't give himself a bonus that was in his contract presumably drawn up by a board of shareholders. Loads of companies had pay freezes last year (the one I work for included) and that didn't stop those that make the company money from getting a bonus.

Most people have to remember that a a chap in Berketts positions isn't a paper pusher or a telephone operator. He is responsible for the entire company and when it all goes wrong and the company makes a huge loss he will be tossed out on his ass just as quick. It just so happens that he has done quite a good job of late especially in an economic climate that the likes of us have never seen before.
