Transparency is hardly a bad thing. People get poached from the BBC anyway, the private sector know they're 'underpaid' already.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

It's clear that the intention was to cripple BBC under the guise of transparency, make it easier for stars to leave, BBC lose ratings then easier to dismantle itLast edited by AtW; 20 July 2017, 01:24.Comment

Surely they are only paid what they can negotiate? Same as my job. I'm reasonably well paid for the work I do, but not top of my game. I could press for more. i sell myself on quality, not quantity...Comment

Apparently ALL individual's tax returns are freely available in Scandinavia. So you can see what people make out of wages, but also the other aspects of inherited wealth.
Oh man that would be an eye opener in this country. Wages are a smoke screen.
Let's look at inherited wealth, trust funds, BTL portfolio etc and how little tax is paid.
As for gender equality at the BBC, ha, they are going to get their arses sued. Disgraceful behaviour.Comment

Secondly loads of foreign people are transparent about their earnings. So you can have an open discussion about salary and they will tell you how much they earn plus their benefits.
When I was permie for a company they tried to get people to keep their salaries under wraps. However they hired 3 Swedish people and soon everyone knew what others earned. A lot of the women were under paid and asked for more or left.
My prior permie company put explicitly in their contract you couldn't discuss salaries. However the law changed so this was illegal. We then deliberately discussed salaries, including some of the middle managers, and it was those with disabilities who were being under paid or women who had children under seven. So some of those with disabilities asked for more money, and when they didn't get it got better paying jobs elsewhere.
I've then been contracting at companies with French, Spanish, German, Filipino, Polish etc permies and they have no problem letting you know what they earn. It's only the British who have a massive problem with it...."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
