THE RSPB has reported a huge increase in the number of high-earners it employs.
Last year, there was just one manager in the £80,000 - £90,000 pay bracket.
But, according to the recently-published annual report, that figure has now rocketed to 12.
Five further executive staff are on salaries of more than £90,000.
The highest paid employee is chief executive Beccy Speight whose pay is given as between £160,000 and £170,000 though employer pension contributions and other benefits take the total remuneration package to above £200,000.
I can now see why you don’t get many comments, what a rigmarole to sign in via Google!
ReplyDeleteMy point is that I could understand if these high salaries were paid to top reserve managers like John Badley at Frampton and Pete Short at Blacktoft who deliver for the members but I guess it’s for all the top “administrators”. The people who do the actual work at RSPB love their job and don’t do it for the money. The bureaucrats should be the same or be out!
