Senior manager's allowance producing hatred (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

execration

'hatred' is the definition.
(I know that execration is a type of hatred)

'senior manager's allowance' is the wordplay.
'senior manager' becomes 'exec' (short for executive).
'allowance' becomes 'ration' (I've seen this before).
'exec'+'ration'='EXECRATION'

'producing' is the link.

(Other definitions for execration that I've seen before include "Violent disapproval" , "serious stick" , "denunciation" , "Cursing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
