Alan Sugar has caused uproar on Twitter by branding people who work from home “lazy”, suggesting they should be paid less.
The comments were made in response to Good Morning Britain‘s segment on the cost of living crisis.
It looked at how much more it will cost those who work from home, as they pay more for energy bills.
Business owner Geeta Sidhu-Robb suggested that employees working remotely save businesses money.
But Tina Knight disagreed. She argued that those who work from home save on travel costs, so companies shouldn’t pay them any extra.
Alan Sugar’s views on working from home
And The Apprentice’s Lord Sugar wasn’t convinced either. In fact, unsurprisingly, he was very forthcoming with his views.
Writing on Twitter, the 75-year-old said:
.@GMB are saying people who work from home should be paid more to keep warm as companies are saving money while the worker are away. RUBBISH they have to pay rent, heating and rates with or without a full work place. People should be paid less they are saving travel costs.
