I wonder how many people in the private sector would think it acceptable to describe their jobs in the way public workers are supposed accept. People in the private sector are not as thin skinned zany...Whatabout calling carpenters chippys, electricians sparks or plumbers honey dippers? I never minded being called a chippy, it was a good thing. How about if someone said supervising a team of brickies was a waste of money that could be done by a moron. You and I would both think such a claim was made by someone with no knowledge of the building trade. |

Anyone who thinks that building site workers aren’t slagged off should ask the painters 😁

Training for parking? What on earth does that mean? You train council traffic ''wardens''/using ticket machines for council workers/emptying ticket machines/how to lower a barrier? That's certainly bunce if a car park worker can't learn the role in a 10 minute explanation on their first morning . So you train on house related benefits - again that can't involve anything more than following a simple crib sheet and signposting if necessary. Customer care training? Maybe that's why it takes an ignored email then three phone calls and speaking to five staff to order a recycling bin from my local council ? Whichever council you work at must have money to burn . Only ones on a wind up are those who like to pretend the average public sector worker is wholly productive , accountable , fully deserving of their gold plated pensions, all working their socks off , underpaid , understaffed and unappreciated and that they are not completely funded by the hard pressed private sector You know nothing. You claim that your position is not based on ignorance. But the more you say the less you appear to know. You're just on a wind up. Fair play, you had me going for a while. Great in asking questions (notice the ? marks ) which you've ignored as per I've obviously hit yet another lefty nerve in showing up public sector waste and you've got the audacity to call me ignorant! |
