The Revenue service is excellent, when ringing the 1890 number you are told in minutes and seconds how long you will be waiting to speak to someone, something that Sky and NTL could do with.
And as for sacking the useless gits - the unions have it so tight that these useless gits are in a job for life - all they do is go in, put on the lights on but no-one home sign and collect the salary at the end of the week.
Privatise the Civil Service, put SLA's in place and penalise those who do not deliver bang for buck.
It is acceptable to tar all civil/public servants with the same brush because they do have one common factor. All of them chose to work in the public sector.Again the proverbial tarring of the same brush for all civil/public servants.
So during the last slump we also had a wasteful, bloated public sector?

We should all be on 7 hours a day and get back to having a life away from work again. Its a bit of a dream right now but I do think that we tend to spend way to much time either at work or in work mode (dam mobiles) at least I do anyway and its becoming harder to see the benefit coming from my extra hours.
You'd need to clarify your definition of 'obstruct'. At times (both public and private sector), I've 'obstructed' organisational change for very good reasons, where it was very clear to me that the change wasn't going to work, wasn't thought through, was going to impact customers negatively etc. Should I have been shown the door?I agree... and any employee who obstructs that reform should be shown the door.
That is a fair point I have to say. The only problem is that the private sector "useless gits" have a fair chance of being fired if they continue to be "usesless gits" whereas it seems nigh impossible to get fired in the civil service. From my experience, the useless/lazy gits tend to be moved on to new sections or departments rather than getting fired which is not ideal.

Yes and some of them work damn hard and are absolutely brilliant at their job. Why does choosing to work in the public sector mean you have to tolerate being lumped in with the minority who don't do their job properly? That really doesn't make sense.
... ALL public servants partake in the exercise of taking 8 uncertified sick days in any one year
...and that there is a culture of doing so.
I see some very interesting posts above. Here’s a question to public sector employees:
If a colleague who you knew was utterly useless and abused the system was sacked and his sacking resulted in a union picket on your place of work would you pass that picket?

So it seems people don't get the sack in the public sector, especially for being 'utterly useless'.If a colleague who you knew was utterly useless and abused the system was sacked and his sacking resulted in a union picket on your place of work would you pass that picket?

There would never be an occasion in the public/civil sevice where a picket for the above situation would occur. There are mechanisms and procedures in place whereby a sudden sacking could not occur.
