That's a year ago folks......................
The combined ministerial and parliamentary salary of the UK's Prime Minister is at present £142,500.
There were 28 CEOs a year ago being paid more than that!
We are often told that "You have to pay the going rate" so why is it that the CEO of the Zoological Society is - apparently, more worthy of a £160,000 salary than the bloody £142,500 pa Prime Minister?
Just how much longer are we, in this country going to accept this kind of B******s!! stevmk2

Re: Charity CEO Pay!
What's your problem with this ? We're not talking about a small local charity running on a shoestring. These are essentially large companies handling huge amounts of money and require the expertise at the top to run them. The salaries of the CEO's of large charities is pretty much in line with commerce and industry. If you can get someone of the required cilibre to work for less, grab them.19-12-2015, 09:53 AM

That is my problem, particularly when you witness some of the sheer incompetence exhibited in the running of charities by these "top people" cascading down the management chain and emulated as if it's an example of management excellence.
I worked for the BBC up until 1998 when I was made redundant.
The BBC is now so top-heavy in managers that in many cases staff in departments are outnumbered by managers but the BBC is not alone in this practise; they are merely following a trend that's been going on for years.
In my working life I have encountered some incredibly incompetent people in management positions that really should not have been there but it seems to me that your argument is basically flawed as these ludicrously over-generous salaries do not, in many cases reflect that these people are in fact the best.
Previous records are often fudged, as are the blunders and incompetence because these people look after their own.
We had a new Senior Manager in our hospital a few years ago who became infamous for his blunders and incompetence until he was "let go" by the Trust with something like £450,000.
He works for another Trust in Scotland now. stevmk2
