How about the men and women working for the BBC look at their wage slip and think "How f
king lucky I am, doing a job I like, getting a nice wedge for not doing a lot whilst there are some poor sods slaving away on the NMW"
What a ridiculous argument and one that could be levied, by your approach, at anyone who enjoys their job, works less hard than e.g. a nurse, and gets decent pay. king lucky I am, doing a job I like, getting a nice wedge for not doing a lot whilst there are some poor sods slaving away on the NMW"

BBC is really taking the piss to pay them who are so boring and couldn't entertain to make people smile and there are those who are trying their best to keep a roof over their head living on a minimum wage this is just capitalism with power and the mighty wealth of paying the TV license .
Well that's cleared it up.

Cool! What sort of stuff do you do?
At the moment; roleplay, theatre, and a popular interactive experience, along with whatever adverts and tellys I can get.

You sound very bitter, most jobs involve some networking, or career management, so you get in front of and impress the right people (be that internally or customers) in order to progress. That's just life.Raygun said:

Really? I find that really odd. What don't they go and do something they might enjoy?
Unfortunately not everybody knows a crony at the BBC to help them board the gravy train.By the way, for three of my last jobs in the past 20 years I was introduced by a "crony". It's how the world works for an awful lot of people.

From what you've posted on this thread so far, you obviously have a glittering career in the higher echelons of the music business. Did you have any cronies to help you into your current lofty position?Raygun said:

Nope,next question.Just wanted to clear that up.

OK, so the career you secured was completely down to your own efforts. No cronyism involved. It was secured purely on merit and talent. But the career you failed to secure was because you never had a crony in place giving you a leg up.

I started out as a handyman for a guy called Rupert Neve, learnt and made my way up.Just wanted to clear that up.
Check out a film by Dave Grohl called Sound City.

That's all very good, but I just wonder why you assume everyone who has made it at the BBC and who now enjoys a substantial salary has their job as a result of cronyism. The newsreaders, the actors, the DJs and the talk show hosts. Could perhaps any of them have started out making the tea at a local newspaper, or playing the northern clubs, or doing am dram, or whatever. Check out a film by Dave Grohl called Sound City.
Did they all know someone who was in a position to get them a lucrative BBC contract?
