Prince Harry faces the wrath of his employees

It is not a revolution but a revolt with which Prince Harry is confronted.

Meghan Markle's husband landed his very first civilian job a little over a year ago, when he became "chief impact officer" of the start-up BetterUp, which promotes mental fitness.

If, since the arrival of the former senior member of the royal family, the company has increased its value by 300,000 million dollars, as

points out , the coaches who advise users of the application have seen their contracts switch.

A new system linked to their remuneration was imposed on them, based in particular on the evaluation by customers.

As one of the start-up's wellness advisors summed it up to The

: “When I coach a member, I don't want to focus on how they're going to rate me.

From an ethical point of view, we are there to coach the client, not to make him click on the like button”.

On the other hand, their time spent preparing their coaching work in advance will no longer be paid.

What is the prince for?

One of the employees interviewed by the publication put his potential wage loss at “almost a third”.

At the same time, the position created for Prince Harry raises questions.

For the coaches interviewed, his hiring is "window dressing" solely related to marketing issues.

A buzz that still receives an estimated monthly salary of six figures, and it does not pass.

Especially since the coaches are not employees of the company, but autoentrepreneurs.

This means that they cannot form a union to assert their rights.

Left to fend for themselves with a company valued at $4.7 billion, they ended up talking to each other on a private chat group, taking the risk of breaching their contract which stipulates that they have no right to communicate with each other about their remuneration, specifies

Faced with the slingshot, BetterUp announced that the new compensation system will be "quickly adjusted" taking into account the negative feedback they have received.

The coaches, who spoke on condition of anonymity, remain skeptical.

As for Prince Harry, he did not speak on the case.

That said, this isn't the first time he's had to deal with discontent from his staff.

Buckingham Palace launched an investigation last year after several allegations of harassment against Meghan Markle made by royal employees.
