MONEY BAGS

Ex Qantas boss Alan Joyce is hard papped walking his good boy Milo at Palm Beach carrying a teensy-weensy bag of poo

Ahh, there’s nothing quite as sexy as a sulking man. And boy, does Alan Joyce do it well. We spotted him in Palm Beach today having the ultimate pity party with his doggo, and a teensy-weensy bag of shit.

Joyce was giving brand deal goals in his matching Kathmandu puffer jacket and cap (influencer much?) as he walked his pooch. Clearly there was much self-reflection, soul searching and serendipity happening. And you’d hope so. This is the face of a man who just lost a $9 million bonus.

The slash came in response to damning findings against Joyce last week, where a review commissioned by Qantas found the company’s reputational battering was largely due to, “too much deference to a long-tenured CEO”.

In non-corpie language, Joyce may have been enjoying playing the big boss a bit too much, and for a bit too long. And for context, the man held CEO status for 15 years, which is a bloody long time in any company.

But we can hardly feel sorry for him. While the bonus cut would certainly be a sting for anyone, Joyce luckily had $17 million in Qantas shares in his back pocket. Thank god he was able to cash those in after handing information over to the ACCC.

What’s that thing about eating the rich? Yeah.
