What job is significantly overpaid
Jump to: Newest in thread
Strictly speaking, he doesn’t get paid much. Unless you count all the back handers and board seats for ‘general advise’. That’s where 90% of the real package comes from.
I’d probably do the same given the chance ?? |

"Not mine
Do they not pay extra for a bubbly attitude?
You'd be surprised how fucking bubbly I am at work.
I have none left for here.
"
I probably wouldn't be surprised, takes more effort to be moody   |

"My boss. I do all the hard work and he just sits on a computer all day.
Get him a chair for Christmas, it’ll be more comfortable for him. "
He’s overpaid. He can afford to buy it himself. |

"Footballers and government get paid way to much ..."
Economically speaking, footballers have been proven to be underpaid. They generate insanely huge amounts of revenue and taxes from everything around them. Even the absurd astronomical wages paid to Messi and CR7 was far less than they generated.

"London Underground train driver and the also get over 40 days holidays per year
They also have one of the strongest unions
Hold the country to ransom demanding more money every time "
That’s what people pay most unions to do yes. As well as other things. |

Estate agents.
They demand rent, slim some off the top, transfer the rest to the Landlord and that’s it.
They try their hardest to off load any of their responsibilities to the tenant, hoping they are naive enough to do it.
I’ve threatened to take my estate agents to court about 4 times in 18 months, and that’s just to get them to do stuff they’re meant to do.
And the slap in the face? On my renewal they added extra clauses to the paperwork so they wouldn’t have to do those things. So I’m doing all the agents jobs and the landlord is paying them to make me do it. |

"Mp
I disagree, MPs should be paid well as they are running the country. However they should be barred for second jobs as that leads to corruption and opens them to lobbying. "
Yep, compare the responsibility to those running multi national companies and MPs are paid a pittance. |

Their life expectancy is 10 years less because of their job. Don‘t think it’s underpaid. They should just replace them with robots. |

Where did you get that snippet of information from |

"Consultant Doctors
The ones directly employed by NHS Trusts I think deserve the pay they get. It's the agency ones who take the absolute piss."
Not even Agency ones get remotely as much money as ones who work abroad. I don’t get how the NHS manages to retain their junior doctors (5 years Uni debt) 10 years underpaid compared to any other job that they could do. If you went abroad you‘d save up to £60k in Uni debt, earn between 2x-5x more during your first 10 years and 10x as a consultant.
U.K. doctors are extremely underpaid not just in comparison to other doctors globally, but also compared to people of their non-doctor skillsets. That‘s why some doctors quit to go into finance where they earn £400k/year or go to Australia or New Zealand where they are loved by the public (as opposed to threatened on the job) and get way way way way more money.
Never in a million years would I be a doctor in the U.K under the current conditions. |

Very true, life expectancy is afair bit shorter for underground drivers. Also any train driver deserves the pay concidering the amount of fatalities/jumpers and the mental impact of it  |

"A lot of managers and project managers in tech companies are not very technical."
That's actually sometimes a good thing.
I've seen many technical people raise up to management level and not have a clue how to manage people or projects.
Yet I've seen managers brought in that do, and have no technical knowledge, but they listen to their team, trust in their skills and are their to support them and help them do the best they can. Like a good manager should.
It's when you get a manager that thinks they know the nitty-gritty side of things better than the team, and they are in it for themselves that issues start. |

Emergency services, hospital staff, bin men, teachers, etc. we couldn’t be without them and they pay taxes as well. Most of them also worked through the pandemic. |

Unless you know the skill, experience, risk, stress, knowledge etc required for a job then how can anyone actually decide whether it’s overpaid or not?
Some people within those positions may not be the best person but someone else may be excellent at the job.
What you aww them do is only part of their job. Much of it may be dealing with other issues. |

Most politicians of any level, with nice pay offs and a possible sinecure when they lose their job/ seat.
Many charity CEOs.
Diversity officers and management consultants. |

The Prime Minister of the tiny island state of Singapore earns S$2.2m. That’s about £1.28m at today’s exchange rate.
He also pays one of the lowest income taxes on it in the world.
This, in one of the wealthiest countries in the world that does not offer welfare except to the destitute and is a one party autocracy despite appearances. |

Forgot this little gem of a tidbit. The current Prime Minister, who has held his office for many years is the son of the founder of the nation. Don’t you dare say it….no…nepotism?  |

Why should public sector workers like, police, bin men, hospital staff, armed forces, passport office, judges, school teachers, social services, get paid less because they are paid from taxes? I don't understand that. |

Alot of this jobs listed actually don't pay tax. My bosses pay nill tax. It's cheaper if you pay the maximum allowance as wages before tax then pay everything in divends directly into a savings bonds.
Rich people are always smart with there money management. |
