wazir Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 This is terrible, the government is meant to be a job for life... Since arriving on the Island in September I've been told it's best to join the masons then the government - is this no longer true? Is there any danger I will have to work for a living?

Dave Hedgehog Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 They'll have to go on strike then. Though with no banners allowed I am not sure how anyone will actually know they are striking, certainly not through a reduced workrate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khunbaan Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Best news i heard this year, most civil servants are not even worth paying the minimum wage. Time for a good clean out of the slackers who just turn up and get a wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jehovah Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 My pension went up today, they underpaid me previously, by 1p. Long live the civil service pension scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Dolce_Vita Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Aah, this might shut up some of the people who have a go at those in the civil service. Now the situation for them is being brought down to the same level of insecurity. Hope those people are happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khunbaan Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yes very happy but i would be happier if you didnt post so much crap, its boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
%age Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yes very happy but i would be happier if you didnt post so much crap, its boring.Easily sorted: Back on topic. This is absolute music to my ears. The thin end of a much needed wedge. Remember this day, as it is a significant demonstration of the Isle of Man no longer being able to sustain itself. Remind me, where and how exactly do we get all this oodles of money from? Edited to add: There are many Civil Servants who are hard working and worthy of their salary. They should not have any worries. The rest however . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Dolce_Vita Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I can't say I care much for the opinion of dickheads who are pleased by the idea of people being put in difficult situations because they worry about losing their jobs or actually become redundant.

Twitch Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 There are many Civil Servants who are hard working and worthy of their salary. They should not have any worries. The rest however . . . . How does one go about ascertaining the effective ones from the ineffective? What are you proposing? Sack them and replace them? Make them redundant? Melt them down for glue? How do we support them and their families? Benefits I guess? Who pays for that? Oh yeah...us. Most civil servants I come across do a good job. There's some bad ones of course, as there are poor employees in any walk of life. I work with some in the private sector. And you can't sack them either...verbal warnings, written warnings, oh the bureaucracy of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimcalagon Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 For the purposes of this story, who counts as 'civil servants' - does it include care workers, nurses etc who are already poorly paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
