That'd be difficult, you moan about everything to do with the public sector
I'm on the dole in a nicely funded council house and couldn't give a fuck ;-)As someone who employs public sector people - ie a member of the public - I feel entitled to comment on their attitude, which in many cases I think is naive and selfish.
Many of them seem to think they should be a venerated, protected species, forever to remain at the high water mark of employment terms and conditions while the people who pay them are subject to the full force of the market and globalisation.
By constantly moaning about terms and conditions which are probably still amongst the best in the country they demonstrate how out of touch they are with the economic realities which affect millions of people who pay the taxes required to fund their relatively generous work related benefits.
The public sector is wank.Shit money and conditions - moral on its arse......
I know because I left and found a new job,after 13 years of shite,that pays better and treats its staff far better.

Exactly, I can't think of one member of my staff who would have left and gone to work in the public sectorThe public sector is wank.Shit money and conditions - moral on its arse......

Spookily enough.......Good for you.
Tell the firemen where you work so they can apply too.
Much like the Ambulance service,these people attend such varied and unpredictable situations that it's impossible to label them with one specialisation or skill set - It's just a shame those abilities aren't fully recognised and rewarded.The one thing that should change is their job title. When their is a horrendous motorway crash the fire brigade are their cutiing the injured out of the wreck. When a building collapses they are there again. They now even have to remove obese people from their bedrooms using special hoists (see yesterdays 5 lIve report) There are less fires than 30 years ago but that does not mean there should be less firemen.
What makes you think that I didn't ?Perhaps your firm could offer to take outsourced work and staff from the public sector.
This is a disgrace.
How will they manage a second job now?
Mass civil disobedience is required bur X factor is on so the proles don't give a fuck.
The gagging law makes it harder to protest legally. 21 days notice etc. And if they don't like it they can ban it.
As employees of the public the fire brigade's staff are probably treated better at work than the vast majority of people who employ them.
Public sector workers generally have shorter working weeks, premium pay paid overtime on higher wage levels, more annual leave, earlier retirement, much more generous pensions and better entitlements to sick and maternity leave than the average UK worker who pays their wages.
Why do they moan ten times as much as the rest of us?
Indeed we do.I'm not advocating the type of protest where we give notice, i'm talking about the need for an uprising or a modern day revolution
The people hold the power but have no idea how to use it,
As urmston has entered this conversation I will leave, he only comes into troll and why he's allowed to even be on here anymore is a puzzle to me, it's always easy to attack public service employees as they seem to be the only ones who try to stand up to this fucking government and the shambles it has created, lazy, gold plated pensions etc etc, change the fucking record. If he had the balls id bring him down to a fire station of his choosing and let's see how he handles it.
Indeed we do.
But most are consumed with whatever the idiot box tells them. They get more concerned about about a z list celebrity being unfairly evicted more than losing their rights, until it's too late.
