Making the news today....

Tbh, I'm not sure that the public sector is underpaid...

 

We'd all like a pay rise, however it's only the public sector that moan to the media.

 

To be fair they do have the more important jobs and do you think if the rest of us could moan to the media we wouldn't.

 

Talking of the media, it seems that there aren't any trustworthy news channels/papers out there so, in people's opinion what is the most reliable and unbiased news outlet?

I'm thinking it's the fat bloke down the pub as it stands.

Who decided what jobs are more important? Everyone who signs up for a Public Sector job surely knows its a thankless task but generally do it because the pay is higher than the Private Sector, the pension is higher than the private sector, the perks are better than the private sector and generally its a jolly when the tax payer pays your wages.

I hope not, but then Im not the usual fat slob socialist who's on the Dole in Scotland either. I'm gonna assume its a rhetorical question?

[difflock]

NO!, but I am!

Quite Seriously,

Not the fat bloke down the pub,

but an Ex Local Government/Civil Servant,

who witnessed a Bonus Scheme Supervisor(i.e me!|) starting at a post being graded at scale 4/5.

And with my diligence, and reluctant Union involvement finally climbing to SO2.(and questionably/arguably PO1)

& Subsequently

watching a very cognatively challenged Chargehand, be awarded Scale 5.

And! 'e reckoned e was worth more!

FFS!

Not fat and not on the dole here either, although I did claim benefits for about three weeks when I left school in 1986, socialist **** that I am!

Awesome, so all we've established is we generally dont fit into each others implied stereotypes.

 

You're not one one of the majority of commie scroungers in Scotland and Im not a fat pub dweller.

 

Neither generalisation has any impact on what I initially stated, so quite a poor deflection really, but nothing less than Ive come to expect from what I can only assume is a deluded SNP supporter?

 

Oh, and thats three weeks more than me.
