I’m bored with hearing about those who are considered to earn too much. The latest in a long line of tales, involving the head teacher of a London primary school whose basic pay before bonuses is over £200,000, is trumpeted as being a scandal. Which, of course, it is.
People very rarely decide their own salaries and if it is considered that they are paid too much then the fault lays with those who set the pay rates. They are the ones who presumably set salaries commensurate with a person’s abilities and taking the going market rate into account. These are the people who need to be held accountable when the public starts screaming about unacceptable pay rates.
The other side of the same coin is that if a person has such qualities and experience to draw a high salary in a open jobs market, then good luck to him or her.
The other thing that I find fascinating, and most illogical, is when the media screams that so and so is earning more than the Prime Minister. That may well be the case - but then, let’s face it, the Prime Minister’s salary of £142,500 is woefully inadequate. Pitiful even!
