BBC Children in Need

Your criticism of CEO salaries, only a few posts ago...

My criticism was aimed at the salaries of the CEO and all the troughers running a 'charity' that is in terminal decline but needs swanky London offices costing £750,000 per annum.

I clearly stated that LOROS is a very fine organisation. In fact Children in Need might learn more than a few lessons from them. Havihg reviewed their accounts it seems to me that the CEO of LOROS and his very small senior management team are delivering real value. I wish them continued success in the very valuable work that they and their staff/volunteers are delivering. It seems that they are doing it without a 'Director of Insight'.

Just hit Mandarin and empty the shrimp tray, you'll see fat people wailing. And get a hell of a meal to boot.

I don't know Mandarin but in any event am already booked in the restaurant at the ROH, just to make sure they get as much of my money as possible (it's all for charity, after all).

It's the reason the word charity was placed in single quotes - I totally agree with Pen4 that if governments spent their money properly, then the need for charities would be less.

Charities that do care or research are different, there can never be enough money, my issue is the money that’s taken out for ceos etc.

But what if one of the CEO’s tasks is to secure large-sum donations that would probably not be given if the schmoozing never happened?

As much as we’d like to think that the donations would be given regardless, we all know that’s not how the world turns.

Not too dissimilar to you or I donating if someone runs a marathon, but if a donation was requested outside of this, we may be less inclined, no matter how worthy the charity may be.

Which I get, however my issue is with the obscene amounts of money some of these CEO’s earn.

That is not a primary task of a CEO in a charity
 
They pay top wages to compete with the private sector, who often pay more for similar roles. These aren't little charities run from the Parish Hall by some well meaning retirees.
 
Just had a look at the background of the big cheeses at Children in Need.

The usual bunch of Corporate failures and 'Community Inclusion' academic types. All aboard the gravy train.

Why don't you apply for a job there then? You seem to know what it takes to run a multi-million pound business.

They move onto the next 'Charity' job to drive yet more 'inclusion' and 'dynamic change' and 'insight'.

And when the donations dry up they fuck off to do another Masters Degree at a 'University' no fucker has heard of.

Well I'm guessing this is your first one, so please don't get your hopes up.
An opera isn't really a musical event per se, it's a setting (or touchstone) used by film and TV writers. Operas are used to illustrate how rich and stuffy people can be, or simply a location setting to tell us the story of a deformed, murderous phantom who's love for Christine turns violent due to his horrible jealousy.

Just so you don't go in with any false expectations. (bring ear-plugs)

This looks more like jealousy than anything else.
 
To be fair guys, when I donate a hundred bucks, I hope that a big % goes to fund an office and some overweight guys and gals on big salaries and expenses as part of the deal.

Anyone who questions my love of all this has gotta be jealous or racist. 👍👍

Given the depth of medical, political & charity industry knowledge abundant here, it's really wasted on a football forum.
