Have they looked at Ireland over the weekend - government workers pay freezes and pension levy's. They are paid too much already and there would be a queue of people waiting to get their jobs if they don't want them. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/artic...sNnMxYl0ZbagLrw Edited to add link.

localyokel Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Let's reduce everyone to the lowest comment denominator, let's grind everyone down until there's nothing left apart from a basic desire not to die, and pay them on that basis. Lets face it lots of people are actually worried about losing their jobs. Bus drivers as long as you don't turn up for work pissed or do a bit of kiddy fiddling on the side its a job guaranteed for life with guaranteed pay increases and a good pension (guaranteed too). Its impossible to lose your job so what the *** are they complaining about? They're not going to be out on their arse if the economy turns are they? Bloody lucky if you ask me.

sarahc Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's not the bus drivers though is it? It's the inspectors and depot supervisors. http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/Isle-of-Man...rike.5006797.jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you envious or just stupid? What's wrong with people have steady, secure, well paid jobs with a decent pension? As for 'impossible to lose your job' - the facts really don't support you on that one. If you think bus drivers are bloody lucky, train up to be a bus driver and apply next time a job comes up - it's not exactly bus science..... i think your a bus driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a bus licence, I did apply for a job and was told that only 10 people are allowed to apply each year and a waiting list exists for those 10. It's like the post office, protectionism and nepotism. Also Tynwald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
