Thank goodness the question Hayley_20 asked was answered by exmax when it was. Just 11 minutes later and it might not have happened as the whole thing was brought to a grinding halt in rather dramatic fashion.
Anybody else wish to discuss what they earn or spend?
It hardly seems to me that a discussion of it was ever asked for, nor did exmax enter into one.
What's the problem with asking for and being given a guideline figure to allow some expectation of likely future financial flexibility in order to plan domestic arrangements? It seems more than reasonable to me.
There really is no big secret to what anyone, in any position, in any industry earns if you care to look a little. The mere mention of a rough figure really is nothing to get so excited about, especially since the only interested party was Hayley_20 who will eventually come to know the situation anyway but asked so she might plan ahead.
Any others who read such a reply and chose to feel affected by what they see have a number of choices available to them. The fact that they are presented with an approximate and reasonably freely available piece of information that may make them consider those choices
changes nothing.
Well done exmax for showing a little support for what 2 years ago would of been a colleague.
To everyone else, sorry to mention the original post, as you were.
