worth saying I only have "visitor" status at the UoE but BioSS has their offices colocated at the Kings Buildings campus and I work with many UoE staff.

@millerdl@mathstodon.xyz senior management salaries in the UK are out of control. It's absurd that they get paid over 10x what a Lecturer makes. Solidarity from across the pond!

@millerdl@mathstodon.xyz Thank you! The likely source of confusion and reason for lack of announcement is that the new strike action relates to the failure of management to abide by the terms of a previous agreement while the ongoing ballot is about a potential future round of cuts after April. Doesn't change the big picture though.

@millerdl@mathstodon.xyz Not knowing one's salary might suggest the money isn't the primary driver for doing a job one perhaps thinks worth doing. Which has some merit. Concentrating on one's own salary is common, but people whose main drive is that are sometimes not the ideal ones to run public institutions, particularly those with purposes other than direct profit.

@millerdl@mathstodon.xyz This is obscene and shameful. To be paid so much money that you don't know your salary when asked... And some politicians think it's people on low incomes who are bad with money. We know every penny at our disposal. We have to.
