Which of these would be sackable offences in your job?

I think you have just explained why Aer Lingus is going down the drain and Ryanair making profits. Unions are a cancer on business, no way I'd tolerate one if I was starting up a company.

Looks as if Ryanair is not particularly profitable either!

i thought you were leaving the country 6 months ago

I told you at the time that if we continued to increase taxes that I had arranged for me to do my job from England. We didn't increase taxes.

I paid 40k in tax last year, the country is much better off with me and people like me. It is easy to do skilled jobs from other countries so you'd be fukked if enough people like me left.

There is another thread on that. It doesn't matter where there money comes from, profit is profit.

Funny, you were calling for others to leave, as they were a burden on the welfare system

AIB and Bank of Ireland should be back in profit soon too, but I don't think many would agree with you that huge injections of our taxpayers money do not matter. You sound too much like Gordon Gekko ("Greed is Good") for my taste.

How is not answering the phone part of a work to rule?

There is ony one rule in the PS: You can't be sacked.

And they developed due to an unhealthy lifestyle by employers, if you care to look at their genesis.

Once upon a time unions were a good thing trying to get decent conditions for the workers. Now they just try to protect the worst most useless workers. How many teachers get fired for being bad? How about the pay rises they wanted for extra carriages on a train?

They try to ensure the least work possible.

What defense is there for expenses. Just pay the petrol and hotels etc. Expenses shouldn't be an earner. You live off your wage.

Nothing is wrong with rational greed. If we didn't have it we'd be in a cave. I am a capitalist and view the banks as being failed PLCs that should be in liquidation. Destructive creation would ensure another bank would step into the void (although we'd have higher charges until other banks come in to compete)

That's just a begrudger trying to take down the best Irish businessman of our time.

Meow pussycat,.. have you no little ideas of your own or do you just like to knock real achievers?

I don't get your point? I pay tax and contribute a lot of money into the system. Others are financial drains. We are spending 25bn more than we make and no touchy feely heal the world hippie mantras can get around that. we must cut costs.
