BigDave – all very valid points. I guess my biggest gripe is that all staff at Motability Operations (not just the much derided ‘fat cats’) are in receipt of an overall remuneration package that is way above their peers in the private sector, let alone the third (charitable) sector, all of which is paid for by the sacrificed benefits of disabled people. Motability is both a charity and a gilt edged top tier private sector employer, depending on which suits them.
Let’s not forget that December is bonus month at Motability Operations. I am anticipating hearing quite soon how many thousand pounds the person that I know there has received for working in a call centre. For what I wonder when they are already very well paid? Yet again I will have to bite my lip, sounding pleased for them whilst knowing that my wife (who is unable to work) has helped pay for it through her disability benefits.
