Do you give!

Its true though, like Master says; if you pay peanuts you get monkeys running the show.

Some of these ceo's would earn the same generating the income they do for any big business but they are all usually over paid and over protected at the cost of the shareholders.

Choose who you give to carefully, so your money goes straight to the front line, the best two in my understanding are Medicines sans frontiers and the Fred Hollows foundation.

The sad fact for me a lot of people give up a lot of there time for free,in there charity shops with out theses people the fat cats don't get a fat pay check.
Pretty bad for the moral for the giving charity workers, a sad state of affairs to my mind you could
say hypercritical and condescending to boot.

What a good CEO would do is keep admin cost to a minimum so that the majority of every pound goes to the the people that most need it. Administration is a cost that will always arise. Volunteers do the work on that basis, they may have free time, may need the work experience. Still do not understand your logic.

I do not give money to charity, I give my time which is worth considerably more.

My logic is I feel people having the piss taken out of them giving them charity's all that free labour,
I feel a lot of people would be very disappointed if they new how much a CEO cost.
This is just a little de-bait that 1 or 2 may have some interest in that's all no more.

Anyone doing voluntary work are doing it for a good reason and I am sure most would not care what anyone was earning, just as long as the vast majority of the money went to the people most in need.

Now give me a job as a CEO.

I'm with Andre and Master on this one....do you want Oxfam to be entirely run by volunteers? If you don't put the right kind of money for the job then it is likely you'll have some buffoon in charge who will not get the same result as someone who is very good at their job. As you have seen with the exposure of those Kony 2012 jokers, if you don't have the right management then you will often end up with high costs and little of the money actually getting to the place where it needs to be.

When chosen well someone earning this kind of money can be a great asset to a charity, but it needs to be someone who could earn much more in business and is doing this because it is charity work, rather than someone just there for the paycheque. Whether they are worth 100k largely depends on the individual and their experience.

If I was super rich I would go to a Cancer research charity (or some other worthy charity) and say right here's £500,000 go and buy loads of kit/medicine/hire new staff/do more tests on me etc. I'd want to see my money do some good.

I'm wouldn't write a cheque and hand it over you just don't know what's really happening with the money.
