However, I remain thankful that the job I have provides my family well but I have to work for it. </p> <p>Finally after that my role is being reviewed again, no this is separate from above this concentrates on my grade not service wide, again my pay could be effect, shift patterns and responsibilities. </p> <p>So if you think we get a smooth ride then you're wrong, like any job we are subject to many things effecting it. However, what we do have is those that will stand up and say this is wrong and fight for it not whine get on with it anyway or move jobs for the same to happen again.</p> <p>If we all rolled over when changes were being made we'd all be shafted. Many strikes over the years have done huge harm but others brought around the better working conditions we all work under. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/public-sector-workersbe-happy-you-have-a-job/page/2#post-3204296 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:39:45 +0000 miketually 3204296@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>what a really mature thing to say!</blockquote></p> <p>Gosh, what a lot can be found out through someone's posting history <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/public-sector-workersbe-happy-you-have-a-job/page/2#post-3204265 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:33:16 +0000 unfitgeezer 3204265@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>"Wish I could afford a holiday to Amsterdam with my wife and 2 kids and have a MacBook pro"</p> <p>what a really mature thing to say! </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/public-sector-workersbe-happy-you-have-a-job/page/2#post-3204219 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:22:23 +0000 stevewhyte 3204219@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>They dont do anything about tax evasion because its a poliical issue.</p> <p>All the governments buddies run these companies, allthe government are in the pocket of thse people.</p> <p>You think we elect the government, well maybe we do but we only get to elect the people that big business want to have in power. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/public-sector-workersbe-happy-you-have-a-job/page/2#post-3204164 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:07:48 +0000 miketually 3204164@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>I'll clarify that, why don't the police, inland revenue, council officials etc. put a stop to all this naughty illegality</blockquote></p> <p>I think they're all riding a gravy train, or something.</p> <p><blockquote>(apologies if I've not named the appropriate pillars of the public sector)</blockquote></p> <p>It's the HMRC's job to do that. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/oct/20/spending-review-civil-service-job-cuts">That's HMRC who have got rid of loads of the people whose job it is to do that</a>.
