90,000 / 46.4 (52 - minimum statutory holiday) / 80 = £24 / hour.

Minimum wage is £8.72 / hour.

So at a bare minimum (before perks / generous pension / very generous bonus) they are getting three times the minimum wage.

That's still not great, but they are suffering far less than millions of cleaners and other essential workers, not to mention the millions of people on zero hour contracts who are unable to get minimum wage and the thousands of people in forced labour conditions aka slavery (ie migrant Labour).

Which is mostly to say that the condition of most people is a lot lot worse than most of us stop to think about most of the time.
