Venkatakrishnan took home about £10.5m in 2024, I'm sure he's the best person to comment on what the public sector spending should be.
Only on the condition that his bonuses and other remuneration are taxed at 90%
Someone has to pay for his multimillion pay!
Inflation only pay rises by default. Anything else needs to be proved on merit. That way you're not "loosing money" as you keep up with inflation and the incentive is to improve your work output to gain more. This includes high and low earners.
Yes but you get what you pay for you greedy little piggy. The public sector is constantly asked to do more with less. The media is quick at decrying the pitiful pay increases but are equally quick at pointing the finger when something goes wrong, be it passports backlogs or flooding events. In other words, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
I should know, I'm a monkey.
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
