Thomas Jefferson Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 From the video: The nature of employment has changed drastically. From working in stable, decent-paid jobs in the '90s with expectations of progressing upwards, young people today are increasingly finding themselves trapped in part-time, insecure, poorly-paid work with few opportunities for training. Sounds familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jefferson Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think the girl in her early 20s who is first interviewed seemed quite intelligent and on the ball; it's a pity that none of the employers have been willing to give her a chance just because she hasn't had prior experience of working in an office. Are employers really that thick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jefferson Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 No but they can afford to be really choosy with a european wide labour bank to choose from. Scottish people should get a priority, just like Manx should get a priority here. They can honk all that bullshit about the best person for the job, but funny how it's always the comeovers who are deemed better. Our fellow colonial subjects in Sark are learning this lesson now, as their first civil servant is a comeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkin Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The bredders who speak the Multicultural London English seem to be the least likely to get a job at the moment. The population are terrified of them, yuh get ma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jefferson Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Being Manx or Scottish is not merely a "chance" or location of birth. Different people think in different ways and have different temperaments and inclinations because they are a culmination of generations of selective breeding. You can't just say a child is born with a blank mind; it inherits "programming" or genetic code from its parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
