Jimbob1234 this public v private argument is here if you want to read it. I will echo what others have said...why don't you join the public sector if it's all it's cracked up to be? Anyhoo back to the recession....
So you work more than you are contracted to do!
You have just admitted there is a problem - maybe not with you - but in the system.
If you can do 50% more than you are contracted for then your contract was a ridiculous document in the first place. In the private sector the person who agreed such a contract would be sanctioned or sacked and the contract would be changed .
- It ain't rocket science
they will borrow to pay them cos the unions will keep acting up so the countries national debt will rise a lot, taxes will rise to counter this so in effect you and me will be paying their salaries. the usual crap
Can someone not complain about the civil service (which we all pay for by the way) without wanting to work there? What's wrong with wanting a little value for money?
Why is motortax collection not put online and outsourced to India?
I often think that when the Irish have a problem they need someone to blame..e.g. the Brits in the past, the Church, the farmers etc and now the PS. I have no connection with the PS
its all about value for money. there is none with the PS. they basically are there to provide us with a service that we pay for but i have rang the dept of education about various matters in the past and have gottne passed around for at least 10 mins, hung up on and gotten no call back after being promised one. the service is appaling
if it happens in the private sector then you can make a complaint and the person involved will be spoken to, and possibly will affect his / her wage review and position in the company. who can you complain about bad service in the public sector to? you wont get the persons managers name, if you write in it will be binned. if the person does get spoken to by their manager, it wont make them give better service as they will still get the same pay, same job security , same pension etc as anyone who does work hard. there are so many middle managers in there that its impossible to talk to the rite person. its just an over sized beauracracy with loads of red tape. making a complaint is a waste of time cos the person involved will still have a job while we are all out of work in the private sector
Umm... It is online, a nice expensive system by complements of IBM. Unlike Ryanair’s, which initially cost 3k and is a hell of a lot more complex. But why bother to have motor tax at all. It was initially introduced as a temporary measure last time we had to tighten our belts. It would be even cheaper and greener to increase tax on motor fuel to compensate. The same could be done with PRSI, this just increase PAYE/tax, and last I heard this move would free up over 3000 civil service jobs.
what makes you sure you will walk into a job in a years time? i have two friends with university degrees and they are both unemployed now for the last few months...in a years time jobs will most likely be a lot harder to find than they are now...even for people with degrees. i hope all works out well for you in the future, but dont go taking it as a given!Thank God someones pointed this out! Recession! Its only going to be a recession in the strictest technical sense. -0.4% for one year after stunning growth for 12yrs is nothing. Even if the ESRI are wrong and it's -1, or -2... thats comparitively little. Yes people will lose jobs and in vast numbers, but at least as a nation we have built up substantial personal savings.
In a yrs time after 3yrs of university and a top class degree i'll be out in the real world starting off on €380 - €390 a week
