Is Britain's workforce lazy?

from James O'Brien Daily

The founder and former boss of BrewDog, James Watt has said that Britain is one of the “least work-oriented countries in the world” and that the country’s obsession with a work-life balance is one invented by those unhappy with their own careers. James O'Brien asks his listeners whether this is true of their employees, and if so, why? With a new study finding the ‘Cost of dying’ in the UK has hit record levels, with the average funeral cost at £9,797, James asks his listeners to share their opinions on a rather sensitive topic - haggling with a funeral director. Plus It's Prime Minister Questions where LBC Political Editor Natasha Clark helps James digest all the happenings. This episode was recorded on the 15th of January. Catch James O'Brien weekdays from 10am on LBC.
