TeaFan Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 But it's ok, because she's head of a failing private sector company whose revenue is 100% from the public purse. A4E have just won another major government contract, despite their performance on a recent contract being described as 'abysmal' by the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee. Last year, chief executive Emma Harrison pocketed £9.5 MILLION of public money for providing useless services to the government. Imagine if a failing civil servant was paid anywhere near that amount. Imagine the outcry! Meanwhile, anyone paid from the public purse who is actually employed by the state has a pay freeze whether or not they are actually good at what they do. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/feb/09/a4e-welfare-to-work-contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 A4E is a deeply troubling organisation. It wouldn't exist at anything like its current scale without our money. It appears to be hold powers over the lives of private individuals that no private company should. A beast nurtured by Labour unfortunately. And the coalition don't seem to mind a bit of it either.

Bladesman Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I am surprised that under this government crap like a4e hasn't been tackled. Mind you with unemployment as it is keeping a4e going will help fiddle the stats just the same as it did under Labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 A4E is a disgrace, and if it weren't for public money Emma Harrison would be glad of a 16 hour contract at ASDA (subsidised via the government) in order to access working tax credits. As it stands she is a millionaire. Yet many of the 1 million unemployed are denied the ability to grow vegetables upon an allotment. Dig for victory? Dig some heroin and rob primark more like. For the bins round the back of the supermarket containing OOD meat are fenced off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTERVIEWER Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Stephen Hester, head of the Royal Bank of Scotland, gave up his £963,000 bonus because he didn't want to be seen as a 'pariah' as his bank is almost entirely state owned and to reward executives on such a scale, for failure, is obscene. A4e is a private company which is entirely dependent on public contracts for its existence. It could not survive without tax payers money. Yet its CEO - Emma Harrison - has accepted £8.6 million pounds in dividends despite the company having an abysmal performance record. Emma Harrison is obviously unconcerned about becoming a public pariah as long as she is so richly rewarded, for failure, in a time of economic austerity.
