Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The company lost 200,000 customers in the first three months of the year. We look at the reasons why with entertainment journalist Caroline Frost, and what challenges the company is facing. The International Monetary Fund expects global economic growth to slow to 3.6% this year. The forecast shaves almost a percentage point of growth from its forecast from before the war in Ukraine, and we get analysis from the BBC's economics editor Faisal Islam. The BBC's Theo Leggett reports from France on the country's post-pandemic economic recovery, ahead of this weekend's second round of the presidential election. Also in the programme, we look at why some people decide to anglicise their name in order to “fit in” in the workplace with the BBC's Noor Nanji. Plus, our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare considers how the Ukraine crisis affects the way businesses engage with the political sphere. Sasha Twining is joined throughout the programme by James Mayger, Bloomberg’s China economics reporter in Beijing, and by Takara Small, CBC's technology reporter in Toronto.
