Banish all organised religion. The cause of so much war and  strife. And with it any notion that we have any dominion over the earth and nature. we're only passing through and have been here for a minuscule amount of time in the life of a planet.

Or allow emergency workers to claim some of the shite politicians can claim!!

I know what a nozzle is. Usually used for helping pour liquids without spilling them. But how would one go about fitting one to a doctor? And why?

There should be a maximum pay gap between the highest earner and the lowest earner in every business. 

 

Children should be seen and not heard

 

Footballers should have a wage limit

 

A certain amount of cheese should be free and home delivered weekly.

Yes, that's what we should be doing. Paying doctors a £12k salary.

 

That will really help the state that the NHS is in.

I'd say exactly the opposite, double or treble Minister's pay to get industry leaders that are experts in their field instead of lazy, good for nothing, ex-etonians who have never had a real job. Have a 'Board' of elected politicians but each and every Ministerial appointment should be the best person possible from the private sector, Health Minister - best executive in the medical field, Finance Minister - top banking executive etc etc

Impossible, companies would simply split their business into separate companies.

 

Say you bring in a maximum pay gap of £100k and in Ribble Ltd i'm CEO on £1m per year, there's no way i'm paying the office cleaner £900k so I simply setup Ribble Cleaning Limited with one employee who is paid just above the living wage.

[Pans Jambo]

Get rid of smart phones and social media. It almost all lies/fake news, the mentally unstable, the self absorbed, fake lifestyle crap that makes you feel like your life is shit and greedy corporations selling you even more shite that you don't even need.

 

Its unhealthy.

 

Get back to the old Nokia phones with calls, texts and the snake game. People will interact face to face more and the world will be a better place!

Just because it's hard to achieve doesn't mean it isn't a good idea. You've also just grabbed a pay gap from thin air and used that to base it on. What if the gap was different? What if it was, say 5%?

It's not a good idea, a salesman with years upon years of experience generating millions of pounds worth of business for a company should only be paid 5% more than a school leaver with no experience? Christ everywhere I've ever worked there's been more that a 5% differential to account for experience and time served with the company and that's just between workers on the same pay band  far less between top and bottom in the company.

Footballers having a wage cap means that football clubs would just have even more money sitting in their banks. The only way you could balance this out is by radically reducing the amount of sponsorship and prize money that's out there.

Like this one. Anyone who wants PT training or private facilities can pay accordingly but council owned facilities should be free for anyone and everyone. Not just gyms but swimming pools too. Again people can pay for classes, but at least have the basic use of all facilities for free.

Would that salesman be the highest earner in the business?

Or, ideally, they could invest that money in infrastructure, community and development.

Possibly but if not then he'd be getting even less than 5% more than the school leaver.

 

Average UK salary is £29500, taking the 5% you quoted would give a pay gap of about £1600 a year between the top and bottom in a company which is just never going to happen, why would anyone take the responsibility of even a marginally more senior role for £1600 a year?

I did say the wage gap between the highest and lowest earner so peoples pay inbetween wouldn't necessarily be effected.

Of course they would be affected, if you applied it only to the highest and lowest earners then instantly someone else either becomes the new highest or lowest earner and it would keep going until the whole company was paid within 5% of each other which is unsustainable for 99.9% of companies.

Why would someone else automatically become the higest earner?

said new highest or lowest, example below

 

Ribble Limited

Highest earner = £100k

Lowest earner = £20k

All other staff salaries between £25k- £85k

 

To make it that the difference between highest and lowest is less than 5% the following would need to happen

 

Scenario 1 - lowest paid needs to come up to £95K

Scenario 2 - the highest comes down to £21K

Scenario 3 - they meet in the middle and both get paid around £60k. 

 

In any of the above situations someone in the 'all other staff group' becomes the new highest or lowest paid

Scenario 1 - person on £25k in all other staff group becomes the new lowest paid person

Scenario 2 - person on £85k in all other staff group becomes the new highest paid person 

Scenario 3 - person on £25k in all other staff group becomes the new lowest paid person and person on £85k in all other staff group becomes the new highest paid person

They can also be attached to the end of a hose. Like in that Simpsons episode.

I'm not sure how it benefits the world by attaching it to a doctor either. I have also learned that people who are on a lower income resent people at the higher end, and the higher earners are quite happy the way it is. Insightful. A day when you don't learn something is a day wasted.

You're getting this all wrong. 

Ribble Ltd

Highest earner £1,000,000

Lowest earner cannot earn less than a set percentage of that £1,000,000

5% was just a random figure that came out but if we use that figure then the lowest earner couldn't earm less than £50,000. That figure is pretty high so it could be 2% or 3% or whatever. I haven't done the maths. This wouldn't cause any difference to the wages in between the highest and lowest earners. It would mean, though, if you, as CEO of Ribble Ltd wanted to give yourself a raise there would be a ripple at Ribble in the wages lower down the pay scale. 

This would definitely make the world a better place, which was the whole point of the thread 😁

They all have second jobs too, as being an MP is clearly not filling the hours...

 

Doctors do need caps though. They've been out of control since Tony Blair gave them pay increases and reduced hours - now they either work PT or work PT for the NHS and top up their pay across the road at the private hospital where the NHS has to pay them to do the work there instead...It's bonkers.
