State workers still enjoy advantage over private employees

What a ridiculous post. Nowhere in the links that I could see did it say whether it was comparing salary or total remuneration, which is pretty important when comparing public to private because of the significant difference in pension provision. Maybe it is there and I missed it, but it's hardly trolling to raise the issue. Furthermore the link did describe IT support as a highly skilled job which isn't really my understanding of what highly skilled means, perhaps you disagree? Finally I said that it was probably pointless to try to compare the two anyway, which is tHe absolute opposite of trying to cause an argument isn't it? (unlike labelling people as trolls when they aren't trolling, which is, of course, trolling)

Well it just shows what you know about the jobs that you don't do. There are some posts in IT support that are probably more skilled than your post or mine. But at the end of the day it's all relative. You are skilled with accounts, IT are skilled with computers, and I am skilled in other areas that I can't really go into.

It is many of the unskilled jobs that have now been contracted out. And some of the skilled ones.

But that wasn't what the post said.
