jayteeto - my pleasure. My motives for replying to this in the first place were to stop the gossip about an individual but I guess this is never going to happen. You can come on here and say you wouldn't accept a pay rise and that is admirable. Very noble of you and you have more in common with the CEO than you think because he did exactly the same. The difference between you is that if the charity you fly for gets into trouoble you will find another job and fly elsewhere. You have no responsibilty for the future of it. The CEO has constant pressure and stress to keep the charity moving and it's head above water, coupled with the responsibilty to it's employees. That is a huge burden and not something I personally would ever want to have to deal with.
I agree with all of you who express a problem with some individuals becoming rich from managing charities. I share your sentiments completely but at the same time I also believe that GNAAS was never a get rich scheme (initially it was a one-way ticket to being skint) but through dedication and belief in the service the CEO has built it from nothing.
