I mean does one have any effect on the other? Extreme Salaries and price rises? Don Elder seems to be well paid as are the Power Company Executives surely one could see a link or is it just a coincidence? When do 'Market Forces' come into play and say A ENOUGH is a BLOODY ENOUGH" The patient is DEAD stop bleeding the public! |

| 1331827 | 2013-03-07 21:13:00 | We got a Letter in the post from Genesis the other day advising of a power increase - around the same time as the Mighty River shares interest was announced - Hmmmmmmmmm | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1331828 | 2013-03-07 21:16:00 | It's a very hard scenario to fix. Imagine yourself in the position of a hugely overpaid executive (with expenses commensurate with the salary). You originally took on the role with the salary expectation set, because you previous role was similar and was paid at a similar level - in fact each of your roles over the years has paid more than the last. This is normal for everyone - with experience and increasing responsibility comes rewards. Can you honestly say, that after 20-30 years of ever increasing salaries, that you would say, of your own initiative, "Hell, I'm paid way too much. I'll talk to HR and get them to cut my salary by two thirds."? If you have outgoings at the level that your salary funds (family responsibilities, mortgages, lifestyle) it's very hard to even imagine trying to live on less. Could you value your worth at 30% of what it is now? I couldn't. I have very specific experience and I am good at what I do - and since I'm a contractor, I'm only as good as my last project. Therefore I expect to be paid commensurate with my specific experience. |

He is our Maggie Thatcher and Winston Churchill combined the Englanders two greatest PMs. Disregarding what ever disgruntled Englanders residing here say they are not born here so their opinion is worthless. History books are going to be kind about PM John Key. |
