He may have a point... I was just looking at the Charities Commission website, at the accounts of one large organisation (an RAO) that I know recently made a lot of people redundant and yet there was something about an 'operational surplus' of several hundred thousand pounds.
On another slightly unrelated point, is all this current support for the IfA and pay minima going to do anything to improve conditions? I still hear plenty of tales of people working 12 hour days (including a 2 hour commute either side) or longer for only 8 hours pay for example, surely this comes in somewhere, and yet some of the RAOs are responsible for such treatment of their staff. Sure, everyone is used to it, but it shouldn't be allowed.
