if we're basing is on less fun more money waste workers should get paid more than ceos
OK never mind the fun part. Despite that it might not need the same level of expertise, managing people is much more complex than conducting research.if we're basing is on less fun more money waste workers should get paid more than ceos
considering the amount of braindead morons who can't tie their own shoes that become managers through brown nosing and bootlicking I doubt the complexity of the jobOK never mind the fun part.

To be clear, I am not suggesting scientific researchers are paid well. I just object to the blanket statement that scientific researchers should be paid more than managers.
That could not be less true.OK never mind the fun part. Despite that it might not need the same level of expertise, managing people is much more complex than conducting research.
Well, you should be more specific then. That might be true for some managers in some contexts.considering the amount of braindead morons who can't tie their own shoes that become managers through brown nosing and bootlicking I doubt the complexity of the job
Well I guess it is a personal perception. I'm speaking only from personal experience. I suppose other people might find managing people less complex than doing research.That could not be less true.
This. People are by far the hardest part of my job.I don’t know about the complexities of being a researcher but I’ve managed people for 15+ years, large teams of people from lots of different countries, with all of their own individual problems - it’s not easy at all.
Ian Og will be looking an all expenses paid trip to the Costa del Sol to research the matter further.May needs Ian Paisley Jr with his delicate diplomacy on the case pronto.
"Theresa! Tell them where they can take their sombrero, straw donkey and sangria..."
That's exactly what millions voted for, sadly.Just had an ex employee pop in to see me. He's Polish, a very skilled engineer and a nice bloke.
Been in the UK 13 years but is now going back to Poland.
He tells me that the community he knows in this region is now a fraction of what it was because everyone is going back.
There are some that have relatives in other parts of the country and the same is happening everywhere.
There are numerous reasons but the main one is because they don't know what the future will be here.
It is a bloody shame that this seems to be the case.
You cant afford emAll the highly trained doctors, nurses and engineers that you lads don’t want, we will take them over here thanks
It's even worse now you have to take out a mortgage to get from Birmingham to London on a peak time train. Even then unless you booked your seat it's standing room only.British Rail was a national laughing stock, public transport in t his country has always been a joke.
Fortunately there is no solution unless you give credence to the “blue sky thinking” (also known as back of a beer mat scribbling after a good liquid lunch) of David Davis about checks based on chips, scanners and drones. I think that sentence is just a sop to the DUP.In summary the Political Declaration means that if the UK finds a solution to the Irish border problem then the UK will then be heading for a Hard Brexit. Should reassure business no end.
Yep. Waiting for the magical unicorn.Fortunately there is no solution unless you give credence to the “blue sky thinking” (also known as back of a beer mat scribbling after a good liquid lunch) of David Davis about checks based on chips, scanners and drones.

There is such a thing as controlled immigration. Australia has pretty much a perfect system. If someone is highly skilled or the country needs people for certain industries they will be welcome with open arms.All the highly trained doctors, nurses and engineers that you lads don’t want, we will take them over here thanks
Theresa May is certainly a strange person. I was feeling a modicum of sympathy for her last week and then she came out with her “queue jumping” line, completely disregarding the British people like me who have benefited from freedom of movement and of course completely ignoring the younger generation who will be denied those opportunities. But despite the fact she is the second worst PM of my lifetime (the shallow Old Etonian tosser who set off this sorry mess claiming first spot), she still seems more convincing than the overgrown student politician heading HM’s loyal opposition.Yep. Waiting for the magical unicorn.
The UK are right back to pre-referendum but wasted two and a half years doing it.
Can't have Brexit if the Irish problem isn't resolved but if it is solved it's off the cliff.
On top of that no-one is happy. Continued uncertainty.
It seems that the vision of Brexit is Theresa May's personal vision of Brexit, sounds very democratic.
I would accuse her of being xenophobic but it could actually be worse than that, she just doesn't seem to like people, full stop.
Edit: Plus of course, the UK loses their representation and vote in March.
Incorrect - there is no open policy, the Uk don't apply the rulesThere is such a thing as controlled immigration. Australia has pretty much a perfect system. If someone is highly skilled or the country needs people for certain industries they will be welcome with open arms.
One of the biggest issues with the EU’s free movement policy is there are far more benefits for an Eastern European to come to England, France or Germany than there is the other way round, mainly financial but also the standard of living. Even this year with all the uncertainty the net migration figures are still over 100,000. The infrastructure in this country can’t keep up with the growth in population. There is a lack of housing, schools, hospitals are always full, trains are overcrowded. Controlling immigration better would help with this situation.
But for some reason if you’re anti-immigration you must be xenophobic or racist. I’m not against immigration I just think an open door policy is a bit stupid, especially when it’s biased towards members of the EU whilst people from countries outside of the EU have to meet so many more criteria.
In the 70s, when France had TGV and Japan the Bullet Train, we were just about weaned off Steam.It's even worse now you have to take out a mortgage to get from Birmingham to London on a peak time train. Even then unless you booked your seat it's standing room only.
EU net migration up to March of this year was 87k. Non-EU migration was 235k.There is such a thing as controlled immigration. Australia has pretty much a perfect system. If someone is highly skilled or the country needs people for certain industries they will be welcome with open arms.

All you have proved is net migration is much higher when you include non-EU migrants. Even with this supposed uncertainly causing people to rethink about coming to the UK.Incorrect - there is no open policy, the Uk don't apply the rules
EU net immigration is 87000 and non-EU is 235000

Furthermore citizens from EU8 -Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia are leaving the UK more than arriving.

True... but equally the biggest cost is the funding for network rail as they are pretty busy upgrading the Victorian era network as British fail did nothing with itIt's even worse now you have to take out a mortgage to get from Birmingham to London on a peak time train. Even then unless you booked your seat it's standing room only.
Yes hence why I said we need a controlled migration policy. But clearly you didn’t read my first post.You said Eastern European, the majority of EU immigrants to the UK are from the EU15. What's the Uk doing about the massive increase in non-EU immigrants or don't they bother you?
You mean you ignore all the points I made.Yes hence why I said we need a controlled migration policy. But clearly you didn’t read my first post.
3% profit? Is this data reliable? its hard to believeTrue... but equally the biggest cost is the funding for network rail as they are pretty busy upgrading the Victorian era network as British fail did nothing with it
Yeah this is fairly basic stuff like. 87k is not 100k, address that Josep.You mean you ignore all the points I made.
If an EU citizen is a burden on the UK, the UK can remove them. So why is it only the UK that has a problem with other EU citizens.
You've ignored the point you made about Eastern European immigrants and you said one of the biggest issues is the EU's freedom of movement policy, you said the EU immigration was more than 100,000 clearly you haven't read your own post.
The logic is pretty easy to understand, but I will spell it out for you as you seem simple minded.
An inefficiently run rail network is cheaper for the public than an efficient but privately run network + profits + subsidies.
Even better the open door policy to non-EU immigrants, need an immigration policy now!Yeah this is fairly basic stuff like. 87k is not 100k, address that Josep.
Because... reasons!!Why is it that whenever a nationized service is shit, that's apparently proof that nationalisation is doomed to failure always, but a long series of private companies can feck up that same service, and apparently that doesn't prove anything?
https://fullfact.org/news/do-train-operating-companies-earn-massive-profits/3% profit? Is this data reliable? its hard to believe
.
Profits at the end of the day
Taking these subsidies into account, last year train operating companies enjoyed, between them, a margin of £305 million(3.4%). Analysis from KPMG shows margins similar to this going right back to 1997.
