    Have to give them credit where it is due though.
    Public sector are much better at griping and moaning than the private sector.

    Life is not always fair.
    Some people are born better looking than others.
    Some people get sick and others don't.
    Some are more clever than others.
    Get used to it.
    Only primary school children and public sector workers keep banging on about how everything should be fair.

    Pretty obvious life isn't the same for everyone but surely you can pay people the same rate for the same job.

    There's only one person here screaming for more money, and it's not this banker...

    It's strange isn't it, how people like you stamp your little feet, shake your little fists, and scream for more money, but it's always apparently someone else who's being greedy.

    You obviously care about money very much. That's fine but please, don't try to pretend that it's others who do.



    No need to complain if you have just had a £1m bonus.

    You seem confused. In both situations the pay is the minimum that the employer can get away with. Do you genuinely believe that my bank pays me a penny more than they think that they have to?

    Why would they do that?

    Your bank and it's employees, people like you, are the problem.

    Any salary that is paid to people to perform socially corrosive and equitably counter productive functions is too much.

    You may well be very good at making money for your bank, but your bank should not exist in it's current form, and neither should you.

    Not that hard to understand is it?

    And no need to pretend that you aren't interested in money when demanding more of it, as the OP is doing.

    Well, you are entitled to think that way. It's stupid, of course, and ignorant. Maybe this is why you can't earn more?

    I hope to God it's not caring for anyone, or customer facing. Someone who'd prefer that I were dead shouldn't be allowed near vulnerable people.

    I just thought, the LA I do contract work for owns and runs a small bank. Are their employees the most hated workers in Britain?
