'Fat Cat Thursday' highlights massive CEO salaries

Today is “Fat Cat Thursday” – the day that the UK’s top bosses will have made more money than the typical UK full-time worker will earn in the entire year.

Calculations from independent think tank The High Pay Centre and the CIPD show that pay for top executives will pass the median UK gross annual salary of £28,758 for full-time employees on 4 January 2018, just three working days into the new year.
