There goes civilisation...

The company had over 10,000 employees in London alone, not counting the other 65,000 in NY, Frankfurt, HK, Tokyo, Singapore, Zurich, or Moscow. And they were committed to matching up to £3000 of each of the London employees, I don't know what the amount is for the other parts of the world, but I believe it's comparable. That's a bit of a commitment, isn't it?

I hate to sounded jaded and cynical but someone somewhere in the company did a presentation to the board to show why that specific amount would be the most cost-efficient in terms of tax relief. Sorry cg5154 but I suspect that's what happened.
