Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
On the salaries of CEOs of charities, I note that you don't make any comment - but others certainly will: whether here or in other places.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion, for what it is worth, is that it doesn't matter what they are paid IF (and I know it is a very big 'if') they are generating revenue for their charity. To take an example simply to demonstrate my point, if a charity pays someone, say, £150 000 but he or she raises £150 000 000 then that seems a very sound use of their money.
In addition, the charities you have mentioned are big organisations. Running a large business, of whatever sort, is difficult. It's hard enough running a small one! The number of people who are actually able to effectively and efficiently run outfits of that size is small, and they command high salaries. If a charity wants someone good enough to do the job, they have to pay the going rate.
But, as I said, there's a fair number of 'ifs' in what I've said...
