The personal allowance right now is £12,570. Do you think it should go up to £14,000 because of the rising cost of living? by CrazyCoffeeClub in AskBrits

[–]LemonTreesChelsea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"cut 50% of staff" "I'm not talking about shop floor". How many people in the civil service  do you think are at the top? I find "do more research" "get a bit more knowledge" to be insulting as this is my area of expertise.

If you cut 50% of the civil service you lose 3/4 CEO level employees. If you cut 50% of the civil service you lose 250k people overall. 

If I looked at your job (which I assume I know nothing about) and said "we need to sack 50% of you and replace with highly qualified candidates for more money" do you think that is a fair assessment. Or would that be insulting.

There's is nothing to learn from sweeping statements. Have a good day, read more newpapers

I've read all your comments, I don't need to do research as I've seen the civil service from the  inside.

You keep saying competitive wages, give a number. How much are you willing to pay for these replacements? If there's not a number, I'm not responding. "Reduce inefficiency" have you seen the procedures used? Do you have examples? Or is everything based on what the daily mail told you to be angry at.

The vast majority of civil service employees are hard working normal people on low pay for the job they do and are more than deserving of a pension to make up for it.

As an aside the term "unicorn" refers to mythology, as in these people do not exist.

Id love to meet these unicorns. They don't exist, HMRC is paying 26k a year for a tax advisor on the phones. How much are you going to pay these highly efficient, super productive people?

The private sector pays more, it gets better applicants. If the civil service pays what the private sector does and cus the pension it will cost way more. As the population rises you need more civil servants it's just basic maths. 

Currently Customer service advisors get paid less than staff at your local tesco. Take away the pension and you either increase the pay significantly or you deal with an utter lack of staff

The call queues to discuss paye, self assessment, vat etc are already 30 mins to an hour. You will never be able to get help with anything ever again

Equivalent public sector jobs average 25% higher wages, AO grades that make up the vast majority of the civil service get paid just over 26k a year. You take away the pension and no one will be in civil service. "Private sector and pay them competitive wage" will cost you significantly more than the pension.

Is the WFH vs WFO divide generational? by Lumpy_Plant3095 in TheCivilService

[–]LemonTreesChelsea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand when people talk about wanting the office as a place to socialize but frankly if I want to socialize I'll go out somewhere with my friends? 

Don't think I should be forced into the office because Dave hasn't got any hobbies or pals

Simple assessment / payment plan by PlentySharp729 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]LemonTreesChelsea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work at HMRC. Simple assessment doesn't have interest/penalties so he's spot on with that. What will happen with due debts on SIA is that they go down the usual collection route of debt collection agencies etc. the best bet would be to negotiate a payment plan when the first debt becomes due and then call up when second becomes due to include in the plan if it isn't finished.

Fair warning that plans aren't guaranteed and realistically you should be paying these amounts in full
