Lee,
You have always come across as having a pretty good business acumen, so are you really suggesting that commercial entities should all adopt minimum wage in a professional environment where costs and selling prices are very much dictated by market forces and market values?

No not at all, supermarket labour is an american thing that is being brought over here enabling labour to really bugger the country seeing house prices rise and rise, converting our way of life from the homeowner to the renter to accomodate a more european lifestyle and more sunny climb, whilst keeping wages low and an economy on near collapse whilst convincing people that train prices and overall cost of living is correct it's just you're the only person (in reality 60%) living on the poverty line yet the PM raises his wage 250% to enable him to live when he gets in office, nevermind the other 30 million people.
So no, companies should pay accordingly and allow their staff to at least live a little whilst they work their miserable little bums off for next to nothing. But at the same time the services have to be worth the cost or people like myself who find out about mishaps in the system as detailed by someone recently making a mockery of that system and needing to be convinced the payment is worth it - the additional security and not just a push whenever to whoever. It's still £30 yet nominet won't knock off cost of sealing an envelope, postage, paper and printing - well not yet anyway, perhaps a trial and we'll give it time. :mrgreen: but likewise what's £30? usually payable by the buyer when it's a £1k sale but then when it's £30 sale it's off putting to the buyer - equally not all transfers are from domaining - I know.
The organisation needs to cover the staffing levels regardless of what is happening, whether that entails multi tasking or complete focus within one department, the balancing of costs for services isn't easy and perhaps the transfer fee which is quite an healthy income for nominet affords the company full time wages for those involved in the DRS proceadure, of which there is no fee payable by either party until the point of conclusion whereby monies still don't go to nominet so in that respect it's plausable.
But that's all you had to say, for checking paperwork and a database doesn't take three hours at £10 an hour, not even I could walk into a £10 an hour job these days, the most I think I could earn is £6 I suppose? so if your lot are on £10 then fair play to 'em. And my anaology was just explaining labour's hope for Britain, slave labour and highly paid execs, that hasn't changed since they came to power, the only thing that has changed is cost of living has sky rocketed and wages stayed the same. Labour, you got to love 'em at least the foxes are alright now and the iraqis are liberated... and they play croquet don't you know. What what, toodlepip.
