Election Year or Fear!

[swaledale]

Regarding executive pay a) it’s obscene b) dedpite saying that I benefit from their corporations through my pension so there are no clean hands and c) my ire in particular is aimed at the public sector because as I said I can choose where I get my milk but not my water

But your happy for the less talented to run organisations in the public sector? In both there are people who are paid far more than they are worth, but public sector organisations do have to pay a competitive salary or they wont be able to recruit the right people for the job. I left the public sector principally because I could double my salary and actually have a lower workload!!

By the way water has been in the private sector for years now, so your criticising the monopoly situation I take it?

Yes I mean a pseudo public sector utility monopoly

I don't disagree its a monopoly, but its hardly pseudo public sector, given the loading of debt onto the companies, the cash paid out in dividends to shareholders and the salary plus bonus paid to the execs. No public sector organisation I know operates like that.
