Retiring Public Sector Whinger

[Pabilito]

Indeed... I also studied Mushrooms.. they grow in the dark!

I work for a large multi national .End of this month we hold a ballot for 7% pay cut, we have been told to comply or die .We have been told that hours will be cut roosters will be changed if we DONT except. SIPTU, well what can i say they are absolute wnkers useless. I talked to some of the guys their petrified of losing even 1 hour because of their circumstances so it looks like we will comply.

You people just don’t get it do you?

If I was offered any sort of income for the rest of my life I would PULL the arm off whoever was offering it!!..

We ordinary ejits in the Private Sector wake up each morning to the terror of not having an income in our old age while you Public Sector Whingers complain about having a substantial pension!...

Well,why on Earth did you not join the Public Service when they were strapped for staff in the late '90s and early to mid 00s? Wouldn't have been anything to do with the crap wages,would it? After 40 years service my full pension entitlemdent will be €118.00 per week,BEFORE deductions. I don't know it will be like by the time I'm finished,which will be sooner rather than later due to outsourcing and privatisation, if the rumour-mill is to be believed. So I imagine you'll be happy then.Or maybe not,when you have to stump up when you call an ambulance and are further billed for every item used.And that'll be the tip of the ice-berg in the brave new world.....

118 yoyos before deductions after 40 years ? A 6000 euro pension, Im sorry if i come across a bit skeptical but if i thought that was what i would be getting after that length of time id of up sticks along time ago.

Guess thats the difference between a private and public sector employee

You as a private sector are interested in one thing - financial gain

Public employee has a job which gives them some financial gain but they want to contribute something to society make a difference

Im glad you painted the picture so clearly

Yea right !!. Would you like me to post the names of a few recently retired Patriots.

Presumably you are not aware that the pensions of P.S. retirees were already cut in 2010 by a sliding scale between 3% and 12% depending on income.

Not enough... short by about 8billion euros....

Funny how whenever a PS worker comes on and moans about wage cuts, they forget to mention the ridiculous 20% benchmarking increases of 2003 gifted by Bertie

I'd love to see you prove that %.

Go ahead, just as soon as you've put out that fire in your pants.
