Swan_Vesta Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 It's a hovel. I'd rather live in Darfur than in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worjackie Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 One thing that would help change this inequality would be for companies to stop paying massive wages in London that are much higher than those we get up here and simply pay the same rate regardless of where you work. Many people in Sheffield struggle to get by on £13-15,000 a year yet the national average wage is £26,000. It's ridiculous that people in London get paid £30-40,000 for doing basic penpushing jobs.

If companies introduced that policy, they would have no cleaners, typists or receptionists and would be forced to abandon it immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulgarian Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 One thing that would help change this inequality would be for companies to stop paying massive wages in London that are much higher than those we get up here and simply pay the same rate regardless of where you work. and that would be fine if everything (including housing and travel) cost the same everywhere. Even in Yorkshire it's not consistant, it costs more to live in Leeds than it does Sheffield, so people get paid a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
