That's NZ ...$500,000 per annum is exorbitant? <br /><br />That's NZ dollars? <br /><br /><b>GOOD GRIEF?</b> <br /><br />Has this turned in to Red Alert?<br /><br />In the real world, that's not even a good <b>bonus</b><br /><br />As with almost all managers in NZ - public or private sector - Marryatt is <b>underpaid by a factor of 5-10</b> compared with comparable jobs overseas.<br /><br /><i>The Chief Justice 'earns' $460 000 pa plus (publicly funded) superannuation benefits</i><br /><br />Again this is clearly massively underpaid - even though (compared with Maryatt) the CJ has almost no management responsibility. <br /><br /><br />Tall poppy syndrome & the great NZ clobbering machine starts here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-64698203467938704882012-01-07T10:08:37.554+13:002012-01-07T10:08:37.554+13:00The Chief Justice 'earns' $460 000 pa plus...The Chief Justice 'earns' $460 000 pa plus (publicly funded) superannuation benefits.

What is the market rate? Is it the 'buyers' perceived ability to pay for the level of service offered by him based on supply/demand? Not bloody likely! <br />Maybe his high remuneration is only half the problem. Maybe the real problem is the army of state-worshipping, bossyboot busybodies in the other council offices drawing a handsome salary to stand in the way of progress in every council office up and down the country.mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-20738129259552146582012-01-06T15:51:17.131+13:002012-01-06T15:51:17.131+13:00Trougher.

No one in any position funded by the theft of money from the rate or taxpayers should be paid such an exhorbitant salary. The Mayor should cancel his contract immediately on the grounds that there is not value for money being shown by his employment.Allannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-56995285881101547392012-01-06T14:07:19.987+13:002012-01-06T14:07:19.987+13:00I am not interested in public spiritness.

He could have declined with thanks in current circumstances.<br />Sadly he is one of a number of Local Government CEO's who churn round every few years getting paid more substantial sums as part of the system we now have.Paulusnoreply@blogger.com
