streets. Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Also, I'm sick of people being compared to the Prime Minister. Who the f*ck decided he should be the benchmark for how much people should be paid!? Local authority leaders I can understand as to the general public they are just doing what he does but on a smaller scale. But this "earns more than the PM" thing goes too far at times... Even beyond the public sector! Agreed, like the prime minister doesnt get - free housing for 4-8 years - all meals & travel paid for - most expenses paid back - 24 hour police protection for life - a very very healthy CV to earn millions doing speechs and advising work when they leave office - thousands of personal gifts sent from businesses and world leaders. When you add up the perks the prime minister gets, it probably equates to much more then £150k a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So actually he's being paid around 200k PLUS all the things you just said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grafter Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 His salary is ridiculous, granted. However, I'm sick of people f*ck*ng moaning that the public sector should be paid pittance in comparison to the private sector. It's quite simple... If the pay is sh*t, only the sh*t people will take the job. That means shitter quality public services. People expect everyone working in the public sector to be some kind of volunteer! It's a job like any other... The best person has to get hired but the best person will not apply if the salary is not competitive. For example, if ITV wanted to pay a presenter £200k and the BBC paid them £201k, people would complain. But if the BBC paid presenters £20k and had a bunch of sh*t presenters everyone would complain that the BBC is crap. Also, I'm sick of people being compared to the Prime Minister. Who the f*ck decided he should be the benchmark for how much people should be paid!? Local authority leaders I can understand as to the general public they are just doing what he does but on a smaller scale. But this "earns more than the PM" thing goes too far at times... Even beyond the public sector! strong post yh the problem isnt these man gettin paid more than the prime minister the problem is the huge difference in pay from the top to the bottom, that is the real issue everyone puts the work in, the people on the ground do a hell of a lot, and get paid peanuts in comparison to these top public sector workers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. But as the Tory MP in QT pointed out there is a big difference between a public sector CEO and a private sector CEO. While the public sector always has money coming in through government(though they have tough job now cutting the budget). The private sector CEO has the responsibility of having a clearly defined strategy and vision for the business to make profit and increase market share and there by increasing tax revenues for the Government and creating more jobs. But agreed CEO's in the Private sector no matter if they fail or succeed get a substatinal pay off and a very generous pension pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because their goals are not the same doesn't mean a public sector exec's job is any less difficult. They have to balance the political aims of their superiors with the needs of their stakeholders, all within increasingly strict allocated budgets. Providing high quality services on a tight budget isn't easy and you need a good business mind to do so! Yilmaz is right, the problems start in the private sector and the public sector just tries to stay competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
