Someone above said "give yourself a break". That resonated with me and iv skipped all subsequent comments to write this. You really should give yourslef a break on this as difficult as that may seem and as bloody frustrating as this scenario is for you. As another said, you can only control...

Youre missing the point joe sod. The point being that just becaise certain workers are irked that others are allowed wfh is not an arguement against wfh.

I think the opposite is true. Hardly anyone getting wholesale wfh in public sector.

No they are clear and direct, i have re read them. However, can you respond to any of my other retorts, in particular this one: Its between the employee and their employer ( manager). Their colleagues opinion isnt important. Whats your thinking behind this question, if I may ask.

Its between the employee and their employer ( manager). Their colleagues opinion isnt important. Its clear to me from the OPs various posts that this is not the case. But this, of course, is in OPs view. Im not sure I know what you mean by this. Can you elaborate? Remote working is better for...

I agree it was rude but in a strange way I tend to understand and agree with the retort. All too often questions of this nature are met with ancilliary tangental questions that assume the OP's purely financial question is without consideration of context. I think it would be better if the OP's...

Or get in youger staff with experience, skills and ability. Freshen things up. Whats the alternative, stick with the ol' guard. What could go wrong? If you enjoy your work do not quit just becasue of punitive tax.

Harris will get it because pascals for europe and coveney just simply wont be taoiseach. No wonder harris odds on, almost unbackable. Id like Pascal though.

@Dave Vanian Lets get back to the point here please. What part of this statement do you disagree with: "Pension companies in ireland are creamin it in profits at the expense of the irish public. Their charges are obscene and lack transparency".

These companies are absolutely and utterly creaming it in commission and to suggest otherwise is wrong.

My pension is through my employer. I will ask these questions as itd be good to know. Even better if it was provided up front.

But that irrelevant to my observation. For larger funds, and 500k at retirement isnt huge, the annual fee is 5k?! Thats excessive. What additional fees are there along with this? Arent there other fees as well? My annual statement simpky does not transparently tell me fees charged. Itd be...

Surely the word 'lazy' could be subsituted with the word 'smart'? A bidding war drives the price up. Its not a case of anyone making you look like you did well. Youve either done well or you havent. Id follow the EAs recommended strategy, they know best. Theyre starting prices isnt...

I have seen this come up before on AAM. I really cant recall seeing anywhere on my annual statement the fees they took for that year. Im not talking about their fee structure/percentages etc. Im talking about brass tax - how many euros did pension fund take off me in the last year. Is this...

But 1% of a 1m fund is 10000 fee per annum. That seems excessive on top of whatever other fees they take. Obviously not everyone has a 1m fund. Eveb 5k in annual fees on a 500k fubd (again, not too mention whatecer other fees they take) is imo excessive. What would be a reasonable fee, you...

Is this correct? Seems to me to be a lot to pay in fees for the 'management' of my pension fund. Why so expensive? Is that considered good value? Are people made aware od this by pension funds? Is there proper transparency regarding this?

Employers done administer it, do they? Usually the outsource that? Why is it beyond the realms of possibility for individuals to be able to choose a pension scheme , given its importance? Surely it would be easy to have a selection of options from which to choose? What would be the additional...

Forget about calling it strange. Whats the pros of going avc versus nsp? From what i have read the pros of nsp are lower fees/commissions and no stock market risk.

Thank you @ClubMan. I appreciate it.
