TalkTalk CEO gives bonus to charity

The Chief Executive of telecoms giant TalkTalk has donated her annual bonus to charity, according to City AM.

Dido Harding has decided to give away her £220,000 bonus to charitable causes, following the release of a report which found her total income this year to be £2.8million – up from £1million last year.

TalkTalk also announced that, in light of the recent cyber-attack, the remuneration committee has decided to cut executive and director level bonuses to 40%, rather than the 62.4% suggested – according to City AM.

The publication also reported that TalkTalk would be awarding certain staff a little extra, particularly those who had “gone above and beyond during the cyber-attack and given up their personal time” to help the telecoms company pull through.
