Cost of living: Windfall tax ‘will bring about job losses’, energy industry warns | Business News Tags:United Kingdom 11 comments Sounds like blackmail to me. Only that one guy who is counting all the profits energy is taking in … he knows how to flip pages and burgers. How about save the jobs and you bosses take a pay cut…. No? Thought not No it won’t. Not unless you fire people out of spite. Is that what you’re threatening, Mrs Oil CEO? Bullshit. They are panicking because *gasp* they may have to give up their price gouging and want to keep the trough full. How exactly? If they’re just taxing profits then the company is still making money.. > If we don’t have investment, we don’t have new projects coming through, production in the sector will drop off a cliff by 2030 Good. We can invest in renewable energy instead Weren’t these the same companies saying they’ll invest regardless of the tax? >Energy industry sees record profits. >Windfall tax will bring about job losses. We know they can afford it, but maybe freeze your millionaire bonuses and dividend payouts if you’re having to resort to redundancies. This has massive “if you dump me ill kill myself vibes”… and we call that emotional abuse. Perhaps those fossil fuel workers should retrain in cyber?
