So, despite profits falling 88% the head of BAe Systems earned 41 times as much as a major in 2010

It seems that a certain sector rewards inefficiency far more than another ever has.

So do you think it is right to pay a 5 a day co-ordinator over 30k?

A simple yes/no will suffice.

Yes/No

I'm sure the CEO of Vodaphone gets a fair whack but he earns it

No he doesn't.

The firm earnt the money. People who produced the goods and services for sale earnt the money. Management of itself produces no discernible salable product.

Market forces determine how much he is paid.

[Bolton Midnight]

Yes/No

I'll take that as a don't know.

So which part of the public sector do you 'work' for then?

[ArrowsFA1]

I'll take that as a don't know.

That would be a fair assumption given that none of us have seen any details of this co-ordinator job you've talked about.

We know far more about Vittorio Colao so do you think it is right to pay a CEO €932,000 salary plus bonuses making a total of €2,264,000 in 2009?

What do you think they don't exist then? Or climate change coordinator or real nappy coordinator etc etc. What is it like putting your head in sand, taste okay?

Doesn't bother me as I'm not paying it, so they are free to pay him a trillion euros and hour as far as I'm concerned. Let those who use Vodafone worry about it.

Grasped it yet?

It would simply be very useful if you could provide the details of such a job seeing as you asked the question, or is there a problem finding one?

Doesn't bother me as I'm not paying it...

Grasped it.

[Bolton Midnight]

cba, only a complete idiot would require a link to prove they do exist.

You've got it then have you, well done, shame it took you so long. Presume that'll be the end to your pointless and incorrect replies then?

It's absolutely impossible to tell from a job title alone. It sounds a lot for very little, but what's the overall benefit to the taxpayer down the line if these kids' health is improved as a result of this job? They might need less frontline treatment, they might take less time off work as adults in the future, they might raise their own kids better. Might.

Simply put, if paying somebody £30K generates savings of £30,000.01 or more then the answer to your question is "yes".
