It's really handy that they have links to where you can buy coconut oils.

so if those incongruously high salaries are standard that means it's ok? isn't that a criticism of 'charity' organisations that comes up repeatedly?

If it was an article about the incongruously high salaries of charity workers and board members in general then it should have written about more than one charity.

 

[nooleen]

it wasn't. it was about ALS.

the question of comparison to other charities only came up in this thread.

 

[Lili Marlene]

As did the idea that the salaries are incongruously high.

 

[nooleen]

yeah, introduced by cornu who pondered that they might represent total earnings from outside jobs such as being on a hospital board

 

[Lili Marlene]

I would say the idea was introduced by Johnnystress when the article was first posted.

 

[nooleen]

well, you'd be wrong

no mention of salary

 

[Lili Marlene]

No I'd be right; running things would include the money used to pay salaries.

 

[nooleen]

it doesn't have to be an incongruously high salary though, does it?

anyway, to sum up, the argument is:

"i don't believe the figures on that site, who knows what they represent."

well, they're instantly verifiable.

"well, ok, but i don't like the cut of the site's jib."

yes, but the figures still stand.

"well for goodness sake, who's to say 300 grand is even a high salary? even though i was surprised by it and my first reaction was that it must include another very highly-paid outside job."

 

[Lili Marlene]

The figures do indeed stand and the site is indeed a crazy conspiracy website.

 

[nooleen]

The figures do indeed stand

great. so there's no need for further argument. or that's what i thought about 20 posts ago.

and the site is indeed a crazy conspiracy website.

now i haven't checked this out, but i don't think being linked from a crazy website has any effect on the contents of the charity's own tax documents.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I never said the figures were wrong I said the website implied things by presenting the figures in the way they did.

For what it's worth I pretty much said your take on their 'spin' was wrong, we could argue about that if you like?

 

[ann post]

I just filmed one.

They nomitated me.

HHMMM.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Jesus, just get it over with and nominate each other, would you?

we've argued about that
see the bit where you try to imply that there's nothing 'noteworthy' about 340 grand salaries for charity workers

i nominate lili marlene to STFU

Ok..we all agree the figures seem "acceptable" in that they aren't out of the ordinary in tindustry. Seems mental to me but that's probably just my Irish begrudgery

A few months this country was in uproar over expenses paid at Rehab, a few months before that the CRC was all over the headlines and heads were going to roll...but it all fizzled out

I hate posting information from dodgy sites, although the coconut info ties n nicely with my recent seeeeiayis posts, so for what it's worth here is the real deal
