Greedy public sector bully boys to risk lives

[bormotello]

There never was, and never will be, public support for public-sector strikes.
That is why we do not actually care about public opinion.

What is reason to cry about greedy bankers and workers solidarity?
Why not to accept truth that nobody has right to reduce quality of life of public servants and "peasants" from private sector must silently accept tax increases for low paid workers?

What part of 77 billion euro and counting dont you get that our beloved govt are pouring into broken banks that are private businesses? Yes there are too many admin workers in the PS, a load of useless dead wood imo that were given cushy jobs under Bertie's reign, but there are a lot of people who need to be there that do not deserve what's happening. The same goes for all the Private Sector workers who are being screwed also. For what? Anglo etc. It's disgraceful what is going on in this country. For everyone who gets off their butt and goes out to do a days work, they are being laughed at by the disgraceful govt that is in place and their friends in the banks (not the ordinary workers in banks ), and corrupt developers. The sooner that lot are out of govt the better and if it happens because of PS action then good for them! Then they will be doing the public a service!

How does wasting money on banks justify spending (exlcuding banks) exceeding income by 25bn EVERY YEAR

So, should we let them burn or not?

Of coarse not
Just pay them as much as we can afford

Public Servants who don't care about Public Opinion are on a hike to nowhere.

You mean should we try to stop them committing hari-kari?..

There are big boys with bearded leaders wearing scarey trench coats and flashey red ties, I say let them choose their own fate.

Disgraceful stuff from the PS. Tis all about money for them.

They were quiet happy to take all the wage increases and gold pensions thanks to the work of the private sector. Remember that golden nugget 'pay equality' or 'wage equality' or 'public private parity' that the unions were so fond of?

Now that the private sector has collasped, where is all this 'pay equality' gone? The unions dumped the private sector workers faster than you can say diddums.

Here's hoping the whole public sector go on strike. For three months. We'd save a fortune. Screw the people who'll die/get run over/burn in a fire. Tis more important these numpties get it through their heads that value for money is a concept that must be enforced. When we see the incompetents getting fired then we'll know the PS have finally gotten the most basic of principles of what having a job entails.

you are dead right but its not going to happen in this decade. value for money is in Newry as far as the PS are concerned


You are so right.

LOL... yea like we dont know that.

What about providing good quality services?
What about value for money?
No point in getting into pay & conditions for the PS because we know they wims will be cartered to & the status quo will remain

Don't you get it?

I believe I provide excellent service in my job.
I believe my work was worth every penny I was paid before the cuts.


And public approval is a very fickle thing, not worth any worry on my part.
Public approval will not pay my bills.

You believe that you "provide excellent service in your job" yet you "do not actually care about public opinion"

So you serve the public but don't care what they think??? fu.k me!!. have you ever considered being a business consultant?..

e.g. ""Listen guys, don't mind them fu.kin customers, I know we are the best""

I provide an excellent service for the section of the public which I serve.
I'm sure they appreciate the service I give.

Public opinion in general is a dfferent matter entirely. Posters on this forum are an example. You will often find two groups of posters with totally opposing views on the same event /idea/principle. That's life.
Why would I waste my time worrying over something which is not logical, is very fickle and over which I have no control? You can please some of the people all the time.......etc.

I care about the people who depend on my work.
I care absolutely nothing for 'public' opinion.
You should be able to see the difference - if you put your brain in gear.
