What job is ‘overpaid’? Is there such a thing ?

i travel all over

Modified from the lounge

Or is it a supply and demand thing ?

Take the most obvious example . A politician . Often said to be an overpaid job. Would I want to canvass and risk verbal abuse ? Have a huge avalanche of people asking me for things that are hard to get (a local Cardiac unit when government policy is To have a few expert ones) and dislike me when I can’t achieve them ? . Would I want my quotes to be a subject of public scrutiny ? The stress of re election ? Let along people targeting me when i am in public or gathering outside my house .

No chance .

What about footballers . Salaries are abscene looking . But what revenues do they generate ?

There is something morally wrong about the person at the top getting 100+ times the pay of the person at the bottom. The gap is increasing not decreasing. Having said that I don't believe it should be capped. Shareholders should call out the massive payouts and ask for a more even pay distribution. Just like environmental corporate responsibility is becoming a thing... so should pay responsibility become a thing.

Eh, if someone is dumb enough to pay millions, then the recipient is "worth it" to them.

There’s a reason why we have lost to prominent senior HSE officials to the private sector… €€€

Why do you think you think the likes of Ulster bank are pulling out ? Nothing to do with the bankers salary cap ?? There’s a reason our banks are so behind, but the masses want salary caps and don’t want to pay for their water

Salaries are a reflection of the core values of the society in which we live: celebrity and enterprise are valued and are thus remunerated accordingly.

Regrettably, many folk who work astonishingly hard at the bottom of hierarchies, public and private, cannot afford the basics in life: accommodation is currently ridiculously expensive through scarcity caused by government incompetence and inadequate planning.

Sport is being hijacked by crafty businesspeople and is really no longer about sport but is now televised entertainment, such as premier league football. The fees paid to the elite are astonishing, but those careers are ephemeral.

Essentially, it comes down to power: individual workers are powerless and the so-called minimum wage is an unliveable amount.

The scarcity of labour, after the pandemic should push wages up, but other benefits will probably decrease such as security of tenure: long-term work benefits.

The most overpaid are those at the peak of the public bodies such as TV and radio presenters; but they can negotiate even bigger fees from private companies: both sides know their value.

The key is not to get caught at the bottom of the hierarchy; when I worked recently for a business, when I got injured they sacked me and there was nothing I could do about it; but I know they are currently having problems getting anyone to work for them: low wages, poor conditions and a toxic working environment.

They make big profits so can afford to pay big salaries. Talent is in short supply so they compete for the best people. Same with pharma.

By a long chalk, the most highly, but also most unethically and parasitically remunerated woman in the UK is the lady whose family own the firm which specialises in online gambling; she is paid several hundreds of millions per annum, most of which comes from working class areas which can least afford it.

From memory, a couple of years ago her salary with bonuses was £365,000,000.

Three hundred and sixty five million; excluding the increase in the value of her shareholding or her dividend.

Amd yet our own Ivan Yeats was a bookmaker and managed to go bankrupt. Not as easy as it might appear

"

Ivan, as far as I can recall ran a bricks and mortar bookmakers, whereas the lady in question runs an online bookmakers, an online gambling business, an online casino, etc.

Bricks and mortar firms, which pay rates, council tax, and other associated costs are finding it increasingly hard to compete; so-called High Streets in GB are becoming economic wastelands.

Some large charities pay the upper echelon of their hierarchy exceptionally well; and surprisingly so.

Headhunting current senior business executives to CEO (chief executive officer) positions in NPOs (non-profit organisations) is very lucrative for recruitment organisations.

The top dogs of NPOs are paid so much because of their ability to manage complex organisations, but principally because of their contacts in central government and also internationally.

Without doubt some people are paid far too much. They will never be able to spend the money in their lifetime.

Overall, I cannot understand how people need so much money and know there are millions of starving people in the world dying from lack of food.

As someone said earlier, I also cannot understand how the head of charities, whose reason for being there is to help people with little or nothing, can in all conscience accept their large salaries.

It is a world ill divided with unbievable weath and those dying with lack of food.

The mind boggles!

Housing charities paying the top dogs massive amounts

In this country we have up to 70 charties helping the homeless instead of one housing authority for the whole country providing purpose build accomadation at reasonable rents

One housing authority to provide housing similar to the housing provided by councils of up to about ten years ago that way taking the private builder and offering a tender to build on state owned land. This would have the effect of providing cheaper housing to the state rental market and dropping the pressure on private rented sector and bringing rents back to more afforadable prices

But this wont happen because the big devolopers will get their lobbyist to campain that this is their function so we need to lobby out local politicans that they sort it out or next time round we will be looking and new ways of getting our interests looked after

It probably isn't; but these Chief Executives are internationally mobile and rub shoulders with the upper echelon of society, internationally.

Sometimes, I get the impression that the 'stated' beneficiaries of these charities are an afterthought!

Some charities abroad have turned a blind eye to sexual exploitation by their employees, in order not to tarnish their reputations; as religious organisations have too!

As someone who works in ICT I would say not, that’s a very blanket statement, I would say entry level positions are paying peanuts, but someone with 25 years experience, how would you rate them

"

The Royal Bank of Scotland RBS, that was headed by 'Fred the Shred' did cause massive damage to the economies on these islands and further afield, the ramifications will be felt for generations and has caused untold misery.

Fred and his corrupt cronies should have done time and been personally stripped of all their assets and sourced of income. It was outrageous what the inflicted on ordinary citizens who bore the cost of their speculative lending.
