I'll give you that. We have a mix of direct hires and outsourced.
The wages of Chefs always surprise me. In the HSE Chefs are very low when compared to the Attendant role.

Yes, a good probation process is indeed very important. Maybe I've spent too long reading certain threads here, but I got the impression that sacking people was a measure of the effectiveness of HR management round here, and not the boring ould stuff of selecting the right people and managing them appropriately.It's very hard to sack people, and rightly so. That's why assessing people in the first 12 months is so important. Unlike the State sector we don't manage them up. That said it's more about the systems and processes we run and the flexibility of the workforce than the "slackers" we carry.
Yep, where the employer can afford it. I'd add income limits too. People on high incomes don't need it and so shouldn't get it.
The reason they've been outsourced to private contractors is unsustainable pay rates, staff inflexibility, superannuation burden et al.Bug bear of mine that you forget that most of these roles have been outsourced, along with cleaning and canteen roles, and are literally at minimum wage.
Answer: These "frontline" workers won't be getting a state-borrowed €1000 tax-free windfall or ten days extra annual leaveHow did Covid affect things for welders, for building sites, for meat plants, for engineering shops?
Have you read the comments sections on social media posts about this?Tell me more about these 'floodgates'? Do you think that you've maybe jumped the shark in your great leap from the 100,000 health care workers to the entire population?
Ireland a state of neutrality..now that's funny. Lollipop men/women being reassigned as traffic wardens is perfectly acceptable only for the union, of course.Poor analogies there - it would be more like sending the army out on NATO missions when they joined up in a state of neutrality, or sending lollipop men and women giving out parking tickets.
Dealing with pandemics is an inherent part of being a healthcare worker as is major casualty numbers from an explosion/RTA/insurrection or whatever else.Working in Covid settings was not foreseeable. Unless you had some crystal ball there?
Re-read my post and pay close attention to the very clear directions and commentaryI've no idea what your issue with 'triage' is. This was standard approach in EDs (or 'Casualty Depts' as they used to be), 40 years ago - nothing to do with TV drama at all.
To be fully effective, the FFP2 masks have to be worn very tight to stop any air leakage around the edges, it is impossible to do so without getting marks like the above on soft tissue. That said, my wife who is one of these front liners certainly wasn't wearing that grade of protection for most of the pandemic.and tell me why they aren't smart enough to wear masks & goggles that fit?
Sorry to hear she's ill.That said, my wife who is one of these front liners
Working for a structurally sick organisation and being sick are too different things.Sorry to hear she's ill.
We hired a Chef during the first lockdown, He's a fantastic work ethic. He said his last job was in a hospital and he left because the hygiene standards were appalling, the politics was unbelievable and nobody did any work. He said it was the most stressful place he'd ever worked because there was a culture of not doing anything.I'll give you that. We have a mix of direct hires and outsourced.

Doesn't surprise me.he left because the hygiene standards were appalling
If she has any concerns, this might help.Why are you posting a picture of my wife? She doesn't remember anyone asking for permission to post her picture here.
Don't get confused now, originally my query was about why were exclusively military terms being adopted into other employments. They never were "standard" as you claim. Next we'll have a "triaging expert" for hardware and software faults, an entirely meaningless concept just as it is for people outside of a warzone.Obviously, you've some major bugbear about standard terminology in the sector
Given that they're wearing uniforms and PPE, I think it was a safe inference for me to draw that they're still on duty, or are you saying they wear their contaminated work clothing home for their off-duty hours? I notice ids and logos are missing from the 2nd batch of photos so we still don't know if these are HSE staff. Some of the originals were not HSE employees.It's a bit of a silly question to ask how they had time to take pictures, but seeing as you asked, I'd guess it is because their shift ended, and they don't work 24 x 7. Do they need your permission or approval to share pictures, or something?

Triage has been a standard practice in emergency medicine for decades. Here's a paper talking about how they did triage in the 1960s.Don't get confused now, originally my query was about why were exclusively military terms being adopted into other employments.

As for the 10 and 12 hour shifts, health workers lobbied long and hard via their unions to have those shift patterns introduced in order to reduce child-care costs as well as travel costs and time. No sooner had they been introduced, than those self-same workers were complaining about the length of their shifts and the hardships they created for them. Whinge, whinge, whinge, it never ends.
But feel free to keep whinging, whinging, whinging about some manufactured slight about terminology. It never ends.Small community hospitals such as Fairfax Hospital, Norwalk Hospital, and Danbury Hospital chose to adopt the new staffing method. Hartford and Yale-New Haven hospitals considered this staffing method but ultimately decided to develop triage systems and ambulatory care facilities instead
Did the possibility strike you that they took the photos just after they finished their shift, before they changed out of scrubs? Or do you just want to look really, really hard for anything to possibly whinge, whinge, whinge about? It never ends.Given that they're wearing uniforms and PPE, I think it was a safe inference for me to draw that they're still on duty, or are you saying they wear their contaminated work clothing home for their off-duty hours?

On the other side of it, why are their personal mobile phones being used in contaminated environments and then taken home presumably without being decontaminated?
I'm happy to comply with any AAM policies on the matter. They're not your images to police.Not really. Has nothing to do with AAM privacy policy. You are posting pictures of women up on internet sites without their permission. Provide a link if you must but they are not your images to share.
I agree. It's too close to home & lots of people see this site. I would ask RetirementPlan if such unflattering photos of him/herself were posted on here would s/he be ok with that?Not really.
