public sector workers = lazy money for nothing scum, who collect an iflated dole payment each month to keep the unemployment figures artificially low.
however many of these cretins exist, they could be cut by 50% and the public wouldn't even notice.
some public sector workers are literally paid to do nothing. they just turn up and get paid. lunacy!
I couldn't agree more these types make life harder for the hard working public sector workers who give a damn and work damn hard for little or no thanks from management and to keep getting knocked by allcomers who want to have a go!Unsecured debt £0 :beer:
Credit cards £0 :beer:
Mortgage £81k MF date Jan 2024, now with added va-va-voom Dec 2019!! :beer:
Op's in 2011 - £1400 / £2000

Well said - I've written the identical post myself, on one of donaldtrump's previous rants against the public sector.

I think when we look back, this will be seen as one of the great tragedies of our time; the move to shift wholesale large chunks of labour offshore, in the interests of short term profit.You mean more funds removed from the UK economy :eek:
Interestingly, even before last years economic collapse, Lloyds amongst others were considering something called 'nearsourcing' - ie bringing jobs back closer to home - in their case it was Malta.
This was because of the large number of mistakes being made by workers further afield, many due to linguistic interpretation difficulties.0 -
why is a fire service up north somewhere looking for a diversity officer on about 65k????
its a joke. firstly there is no need for a fire service to have a diversity officer, anyone brave enough to want to walk into a burning building should be accepted whatever colour or race they are.
secondly, if they really need this non-job, then the pay should be about 16k.
its a joke and a waste of my hard earned tax.
i am sick of everyone taking "public sector" to be nurses and teachers. I have no idea what percentage they make up, but it is probably less than 10%
Most public sector workers have a "no can do" attitude and have a job that doesn't even really need to exist.
Axe 50% of them NOW!!!!!0 -

If it is a non job then why pay anything for it...... would you do a non job for 16k if someone would pay 65k? The salaries are drive by the market in general terms.

I was a bit out on the salary, but still massive for the fact the job is worthless. It was a while back, i couldn't remember it all - the actual Guardian ad has expired...

what a load of rubbish. what a complete waste of my tax pound.
"hello, my house is on fire"
"ok, the brigade are on their way now."
"great, please hurry, we are trapped upstairs. by the way, what percentage of the team heading my way are from ethnic minority backgrounds?"
"er, i think none"
"what? you expect me to have my house saved by an all white crew? is this some kind of sick joke?"
"no sir, these are all very brave men"
"all men??? no women? this is a disgrace. Please tell me at least some of them are gay?"
"er, not that I am aware of"
"right, call them back. I am not interested in being saved by this crew of racist homophobes. I would rather burn to death in my own home"

Thought I'd just correct dear ol' Winnie there.
Seems he didn't have the best grasp of punctuation, either... according to some, that is...0
