    Clearly. I like people to defend the indefensible, it's fun.

    Up late or early?

    I'm at work getting double time which is nice. I'm doing the easiest job in the world today, emailing reports to people. The woman that usually does it is off for Easter.

    :D.

    Just standard pay for me (working tomorrow night as well - tomorrow night being tonight?! :rotfl:)

    Unfortunately that's not £350,000 per year (though I do work for a council :rotfl:) :(;)

    Gutted. I'm not on £350,000 either which is a constant source of pain. I must ask for a rise tomorrow.

    Off the cuff - less than.

    Hard to defend such a salary but at the same time I can't see such a salary being much of a secret somehow. At least not indoors.

    Where do you draw the line ten, maybe twenty times minimum wage? Or put another way how much should a person on such a salary be able to save / earn the council?

    Are the TPA going to chase these up and see how they are performing against KPI's and CSF's? This should be demonstrable.

    If it can be shown that they are saving a significant multiple and / or reducing impact against another person or persons doing the job for less then it can be argued to be money well spent. It would need comparing against other or similar councils.
