These salaries are shameful in the context of the current situation, and obscene at all times

Is this all true? See pic copied from post online

I would.imagine it's true. Shit isn't it

If it’s true it’s disgusting. Top exec pay rose throughout the recession despite companies making less profit, these terribly important people argued successfully that their talent required such money.

Yep, it’s always the way though. The fat cats at the top get the best cream, and all the call centre agents at the very bottom dealing with the fallout of the fat cats’ decisions are barely making enough to live on.

Yes absolutely true. Added to which all of the £££ us plebs pay these companies goes abroad. It's the Tory way though. If you don't like it don't vote for them.

And I'll just add that 2.3billion litres of water are lost daily through leaks and yet villages in Oxfordshire have no water because the reservoir that serves them has run dry.

It's so wrong, Thames Water were on radio 4 yesterday and confirmed their top boss received a £3million 'hello' for taking the job!

'They'll' say pensions are invested in the companies but the pensions can invest in something else.

Total joke and they're taking us for fools!

I'm surprised it's so low, I've never worked at a big company where the CEO earnt less than 7 figures.

Oh, here we go - "we need to pay humungous fees to attract the right people!'. Yet there are never any shortage of applicants for those jobs, are there?

Whereas the NHS cannot recruit staff - but a pay rise is not on the horizon.

Stick a physio in a CEO job and I bet they'd last a hell of a lot longer than a CEO in a physio's job. I bet I could blag it for months as a CEO. They wouldn't last a morning as a physio without being rumbled.
