BBC Manager turns down promotion

With any luck any future promotions are now off the table.

How did I know before clicking this that as it concerns the BBC, it would involve some gender or diversity issue...

And 1.01 landed.

In many organisations within a job role, they can have a range of sub divisions and bands for salary depending on length of service and experience etc.

Everything from Teaching to Nursing to many many private companies the Army. I've worked in the same job title as other men around me and earned more, bigger organisations can have this laid out specifically in a ranked fashion.

But waaaa #MeItsSoUnfairToo. She's same job title but far less experience? #WaaWaaWaaFeminism.

Yes the BBC want to pay people what they think they are worth.....not just by job title,

I think they are right, within reason.

When we are dealing with people on screen, some actors clearly attract more viewers than others.


So when actors all demand same rate they are being a little unrealistic.


Although there should be a certain minimum, I would not want exploitation

Will Gompertz the BBC Arts correspondent reportedly get 150k a year.

You honestly couldn`t make it up.

Will Gompertz great example of the BBC, as soon as he comes on the news you know it's about 80% chance that the story is going to be a showbiz/arts "diversity" story.

How the **** is he on 150k? He's on the news for a few minutes a couple times a week max if that?

The way the BBC just print money for themselves, from a "TV Tax", how do they get away with it?

150k - that's slightly more than what the prime minister of the country is on. It's more I'm sure than qualfied expert surgeons are on.
"Newly qualified consultants earn a basic salary of £76,761, rising to £103,490 depending on length of service."
Plastic Surgeon average salary £88,635 per year. £90,454 per year.

All those years of medical training and hitting the books and Will Gompertz p1sses all over your salary for spending an hour every few days speaking with a transgender woman of some non white ethnicity in Hollywood about a film nobody gives a sh1t about and editing it down to 80 seconds for the news, then going to have an expenses paid dinner.

Obviously well worth his salary Mac.
FFS how bad was that.

OK TBF I was forgetting the responsibility. A surgeon cutting someone open and operating on someones tumour has the weight of life and death hanging over them every working day and go home wrestling with the consequences. Will Gompertz has to worry about which restaurant to go to on sunset strip, and take care of his not a comb over comb over.

I mind watching it at the time Aka and shouting at the telly as soon as he answered, "Verdi ya daft ****".

Truly unbelievable answer from the expert.

FFS their arts guy didn't get that right? Looking at the board there are at least 3 tap ins?
Handel's MESSIAH is so often put together it's like one word, anyone UK person his age should feel know "Ravel's Bolero" from the infamous Torville and Dean bit, Amadeus is obviously mozart, Brief Encounter I'd guess was Rachmaninov, 2 I'm not sure about but the one he got wrong says his name is "Joe Green" in English and anyone who knows a bit of basic french/italian would know that'll be Verd(something)??!

(ok vert in French but similar enough).

If I watch university challenge I'm astounded by how some people on there can know an incredibile amount about things like (blows my mind sometimes), and that's in addition to many other areas, and the BBC arts guy on 150k a year can't get some very basic questions about composers right?

"Will Gompertz great example of the BBC, as soon as he comes on the news you know it's about 80% chance that the story is going to be a showbiz/arts "diversity" story."
1.01 landed again tonight. I think I should raise that from 80%.
