I've given up trying to have any recent debate with AnnaB because her opinions have become so ridiculously unrealistic. So extreme. So loaded with bias towards some anti-tory, anti-Capitalist, 'corporations are all evil' slant it's not worth the effort. Anyone living in this country with our health system, our welfare, our standard of living even for the poorest in society - throwing out such a ridiculous comparator - wouldn't recognise genuine third world conditions even if it came up and smacked them in the face.

HeHasRisen Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Jeremy Corbyn would have fixed it all, no doubt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t really blame Me Swales - I blame the people who approved this deal, presumably the mayor Oliver coppard and the Local Authority Leaders of Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster. They should be asked to explain Hardley in the public eye? Are you serious? They are the senior manager of a large public sector organisation which has wide ranging responsibilities and a budget of over £350m a year. Not as big as a large city council, but after that, pretty big. The leaders who approved it would no doubt tell you to go consult the temporary staff agencies, who would confirm that what they are paying is the going rate for someone that senior. For £300 a day you would be struggling to get a senior professional ( like an engineer, or project manager) never mind a chief executive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I remember when these huge paypackets (awarded by themselves to themselves,) first began to hit the headlines, we were told that to get the best, we had to pay the best etc. With all the qualifications in the world, all I can say to that is if they are worthy of these obscene pay awards, how come 'the Best' have failed to save the country from sinking into such dire straights across all departments. We'd be better off with Mickey Mouse running things, and he'd be a lot cheaper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by much. https://www.jumpinmonkeys.co.uk/category/character-hire/11/mickey-mouse-character-hire That’s more or less £90 an hour for Mickey Mouse. Even more if you want Minnie too. So, for an average Chief Exec’s 12 hour day, Mickey Mouse comes in at almost £1100 per day. He might not be very good, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever approved this should be ashamed. Oliver Coppard I assume? Well if Martin Swales receives £250,000 for overseeing the services of the Combined S. Yorks Authority with a population of approximately 1.8 million, I hate to break it to you but Sheffield's Cheif Exec., Kate Josephs, roughly receives the same for overseeing the services of the 590,000 in Sheffield. https://www.thestar.co.uk/business/sheffield-city-council-chief-executive-tops-town-hall-rich-list-on-almost-ps250000-a-year-4109838 Taken per head of population. Mr Swales appears to be a bargain. Edited August 28, 2023 by Baron99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 With all these wonderfully well paid executives, how come Sheffield is in such a mess, keeps making incredible mistakes like chopping down thousands of healthy trees in the midst of a clean air challenge, and managed to turn Sheffield city centre into a ghost town? It's just not good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
