Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Stan, sadly not the recipients intended by the donor.
I have not had a reply from cynic re posts on page 1635/1636, maybe not that important.

George,

In general I think that if people are working, then it should be "payed" work so I'm not against people working in Charities being payed in fact.

The "some" I was referring to in general, are the one's at the top (as usual) who disproportionally get a lot more.

The "well being" of a "society" depends on all of society being well and therefore it maybe be the responsibility for all in society.

One of the reasons for treating a "tramp" with TB, or and alcoholic with syphilis, is that it attempts to protect the rest of that society from those disorders.

The defence of to all maybe may be help and treat the less capable or more inn-able.

Perhaps, the reason for a Wealth-fare system financed out of general taxation.

Just pondering a little.

Dan Hodges in The Telegraph:

"So now we know: Ed Miliband struck a deal that allowed Unite to rig the Falkirk selection."

Absolutely Stan, it must be around 15 years ago that a director of Guide dogs for the blind was on £69k a year, heaven knows what he is on now. That's an awful lot of donations not reaching the people they were intended for. Of course they have to be paid but they like so many in 'positions' they allow their greed to run riot.

You mean like a sitting MP being bribed with a Knight-hood to stand down for a Boris to step into a safe seat.


That would also make them a hoody.

251,

DON'T FORGET, you are paying for their SKILLS of milking the situation.

Seems that a tory MP was offering to sell similar skills to the Albanians.

Who would have believed it!

red1---as I said, 'like so many in positions'.

Average salary of top-100 charity boss exceeds £166k


Governance | Tania Mason | 31 Aug 2011

http://www.civilsociety.co.uk/governance/news/content/10344/average_salary_of_top-100_charity_boss_exceeds_166k


The average salary of the chief executives of the UK’s top-100 charities is £166,048, exclusive new research by civilsociety.co.uk has shown.

This represents an increase of around 10 per cent on the average salary in 2009, which was £151,563.

The figure is contained in the Leadership Survey 2011 published in the September edition of Charity Finance magazine. The research, which explores the age, gender, background and pay of the chief executives of the UK biggest 100 charities, is carried out every two years.

In this year’s study, 27 of the CEOs profiled were new to the list, and of these newcomers just one in ten came to their job from the private sector. Around half came directly from the public sector and one-third came from a charity post. The remaining 10 per cent joined from the armed forces.

The top five earners in the list were all men, and when their salaries were removed the average salary fell to £138, 949.

Forty of the 100 leaders were interviewed as part of the study and this sample said that their most time-consuming task was service delivery, followed by policy development and dealing with trustees.

What strata of society do they fit into.

Thanks for that MaxK, bit of an eye-opener what. The top five must be picking up obscene salaries, nice work if you can get it, what expenses are they allowed on top of their salaries I wonder.

Same as some MPs think they are entitled to.

So the top 5 salaries between them are responsible for almost £3.4 million.Like I said, obscene.

So? What are we going to do about it?

george - no idea what your question was, and in any case, i see everything is now swamped by the customary ranting posters .... glad i was far better employed by a decent lunch with a good m/e client

"glad i was far better employed by a decent lunch with a good m/e client"... Well isn't that bleeding typical, he spends half the day down the pub or restaurant living it up on who.. Us that's who, what scrounger.

... Employed? my rear end!






































P.S. Got any jobs your place Andy? -):

scrounger? .... hardly; i paid ..... no chips on shoulder or otherwise either

One for you.

I am sitting in a cafe with my tablet. I looked for WiFi points to connect with. The cafe has a very strong signal, so I used that. I did notice one that must have been set up by someone with a sense of humour. It was called

The Promised LAN

I don't have a problem with people who are good at what they do being paid big salaries, when you consider we have loads upon loads of very untalented footballers in this country being paid ridiculous amounts of money. Tiger Woods was paid £2.3million in appearance money to play in a golf tournament in Turkey recently and that was in addition to the healthy cheque he made for finishing second. Absolutely obscene in my view, especially considering the guy is a terrible role model for youngsters. I am well aware some of the money I give to charitable organisations in this country helps to pay salaries and people who think that all those who work for charitable orginisations should give their time for free live in cloud cuckoo land.

doodlebug4 I agree re footballers and golfers, in fact most sports these days have mega buck earners producing mediocre performances, and of course people working for charities have to be paid, (I've not seen a post here suggesting they shouldn't be paid). The point is the directors/CEO's of many charities are taking obscenely huge salaries at the expense of the very people those charities were set up to help.
