Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Dutch public broadcasting executives saw their already high salaries increase by an average of 4.8% last year, with some receiving raises of over 10%, while regular employees received only a 3.2% increase—below inflation. This disparity, revealed by De Telegraaf's investigation, has been criticized as a poor signal given that regular staff face job insecurity.

Terwijl de salarissen van het gewone omroeppersoneel vorig jaar ’slechts’ met 3,2 procent omhoog gingen - minder dan de inflatie, stegen de inkomsten van de toch al goed betaalde omroepbazen een stuk harder.
Gemiddeld gingen zij er met 4,8 procent anderhalf keer zo hard op vooruit, met uitschieters tot meer dan tien procent extra salaris.
