I'm sure you can do your own research on that one. My point isn't about whether they are good or bad. My point is about the reaction that partnering with Gript gets from 'the baying mob'. Portraying ISME as an organisation that is concerned about 'the baying mob' is a bit of a stretch.I never heard of either of them. Are they bad people?
Of course it was- how would the internal fiscal decisions of a private company be in any way relevant here.That's correct, it's not public money, but that wasn't the point being made above.
Because it shows that most such decisions, around rewarding or remunerating staff, are done with 'other people's money', whether public or private.Of course it was- how would the internal fiscal decisions of a private company be in any way relevant here.
Populist opinion is quite base and doesn't tend to get caught up with ideology so ISME's affiliations are irrelevant.My point is about the reaction that partnering with Gript gets from 'the baying mob'.

This isn't a semantics discussion, despite it being convenient for some to try to detract from the point.Because it shows that most such decisions, around rewarding or remunerating staff, are done with 'other people's money', whether public or private.
75% of businesses are family owned. they employ around 50% of the workforce and 50% of the countries GDP (so more than 60% of it's GNI*). Therefore it is false to suggest that "most such decisions, around rewarding or remunerating staff, are done with 'other people's money'".Because it shows that most such decisions, around rewarding or remunerating staff, are done with 'other people's money', whether public or private.
You're right, it's not about semantics, it is about the Government making a modest payment to a group of workers who went through an exceptionally challenging period, many of whom worked above and beyond their role, their hours to actually keep people alive, putting their own health and welfare on the line in doing so. Most of these workers are modestly paid, they'll never get stock options or a Christmas bonus, they'll never even get a Christmas party unless they pay for it themselves.This isn't a semantics discussion, despite it being convenient for some to try to detract from the point.
They'll probably have more than enough time to get it out of their system while they are waiting to be seen in the ED.I trust that they'll be equally vocal the next time they're sitting in the ED getting stitched up or lying in their hospital bed after their operation.
Most of them are well paid. I don't begrudge them that, but nursing and medical employees are relatively well paid. They earn it, no argument there from me, but they are, on average, well paid.Most of these workers are modestly paid, they'll never get stock options or a Christmas bonus, they'll never even get a Christmas party unless they pay for it themselves.
You mean the government saddling us with even more debtit is about the Government making a modest payment
Certainly not the case for all of them, on the contrary.to a group of workers who went through an exceptionally challenging period,
And many who exploited it to the enth degreemany of whom worked above and beyond their role,
They're paid for those hourstheir hours to actually keep people alive,
That's part of the job they're paid to doputting their own health and welfare on the line in doing so.
Most are well paid.Most of these workers are modestly paid, they'll never get stock options or a Christmas bonus, they'll never even get a Christmas party unless they pay for it themselves.
Defending the indefensible and attempting to deflect attention from the point says much more about the unionised apologists than those stating the obvious and their observations.But the petty bitterness and backbiting coming through on this thread says so much more about the posters than about the targets of their ire.
I trust that they'll be equally vocal the next time they're sitting in the ED getting stitched up or lying in their hospital bed after their operation.
The cost of a holiday will purely coincidentally increase by €1000 and be labelled something like a covid premium/inflationary increaseIt's also going to be a massive boost for the holiday sector
We had people out with Covid, close contacts, kids at home etc over the last two years and we make medical equipment and were very busy so the last thing we were in a position to do was give people extra days off.Our company gave us days off over the past two years (they were referred to as Wellness days) and this seems to have been a common enough idea in the private sector. Would it not have been easier for the government to give extra holidays to frontline healthcare staff rather than a payment?
excellent, so they'll have more money to spend, drive up demand in shops and hospitallity and increased VATThe €1000 bonus is tax free.
We are heading into a higher inflation period. Not a bad thing considering the amount of global debt but our state spending policies need to be recalibrated to take that into account.excellent, so they'll have more money to spend, drive up demand in shops and hospitallity and increased VAT
Couldn't agree more , happy to clarify that the bonus is tax free.excellent, so they'll have more money to spend, drive up demand in shops and hospitallity and increased VAT
