The Voice of Reason Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 And sorry, the whole "politics of envy" schtick doesn't cut it. I have no problem with someone running their own company (or someone else's) and getting paid handsomely for increasing profitability. I do have a problem with overpaid, idle career clockwatchers getting the best part of quarter of a million pounds, however. I am no apologist for Mr Aspden and don't reallly want to comment on his particular position. So let's leave that alone. But say the Chief Medical Officer in the UK - does he generate income/profitability? No. But should you be prepared to pay a certain amount to secure the best person for the job -Yes Or would you rather give that job to a school leaver with a grade "D" in biology because they are the cheapest option, and it's not a revenue producing job anyway? A good chief medical officer can save cast amounts of money, just like a good FD in a company. So a good FD in a company saving vast amounts of money should be paid top whack, whereas a good top civil servant doing the same, saving vast amounts of public money should not.? Sorry I don't follow your reasoning. You seem to be arguing against yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me an example of a good top civil servant in the Isle of Man saving a vast amount of public money please Jonathon Watson. Now, you give me an example of an FD of a private company on the Isle of Man saving a vast amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugger Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm afraid you do. Otherwise I will conclude that you have no grounds for suggesting this bloke, whoever he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your conclusions are your own affair. I have answered your question. You will not answer mine. I take no pleasure in claiming the moral high ground.

Either you're in some bizarre homo erotic worship of this senior civil servant or you spill the beans (if you have not already) on exactly why you said what you said.
