"Compared with the private sector, more public sector employees are in challenging public facing roles such as social work, policing, teaching and nursing where they often have to deal with people in difficult and emotionally charged situations," said Dr Jill Miller, an adviser to the institute.

    Then why are local authority absence levels so much higher? Social workers will account for only a fraction of overall employees.

    I could understand if they were the only ones taking [STRIKE]the pіss[/STRIKE] time off with stress but it's mostly lazy backroom staff who are too bored to bother going to work for six months at a time.

    After witnessing this morning a very challenging situation at Southwark's parking shop, I thing that the customers/clients have much more challenging task to deal with public sector workers; not the other way around.....

    For a minute I thought that I got to the Monty Python's sketch ;-)

    I'm not sure it's that they can't do the job but poor management is often the root cause.

    "Paging Dr Jill, paging Dr Jill, there's an ailing trite report waiting in bed 4".

    Seriously, what do these people think is their job role? Yet more advisers we don't need.

    To her, a challenging day might be a particularly vicious fight with a stubborn paper clip.
