Just run through the council workers I know.

Does anyone know of one who doesn't toss it off for most of the day?

 

After working with 2 councils over the last 8 years I have now met 1 that I believe works hard. But he's relatively new and from the private sector, we're actually waiting for him to be beaten down by bureaucracy.

Under promise, under deliver and then blame a different department for holding things up.

 

I've a mate with a decent job in a certain department who was nearly sacked when it was discovered that for the past two years he'd been spending most afternoons in the pub.</p>



Also a regular, if not prolific, contributor to this board once admitted to passing some days at work in the council offices without doing a single thing.</p>



Boo council workers! Boo!</p>

 

On the other hand I know some council workers who are dedicated, work hard, and never get chance to go missing in the pub, even if they could afford it.</p>

I know coppers who are dedicated to serving their country and the safety of its citizens, despite the fact that we know there are those who don't care a toss.</p>

There are good dedicated doctors, teachers, civil servants, nurses, builders, lecturers, plumbers etc, and there are those who shame the profession they are in.</p>

Every profession has it's rogue element, who grab the headlines and cause public concern - the failure there is to weed them out and tell them to **** off somewhere else, whilst the decent among them have to suffer.</p>

 

I think in the case of BMBC......

.....your hard-working individuals are in the minority.</p>

 

with the exception of teachers...

would agree with you re. the manual workers and admin staff but i think the scenario is the other way round for education...
most teachers and support staff in schools (BMBC employees) are incredibly hard working and dedicated to their jobs. They also put more than enough hours in extra during term time to fully deserve the nice holidays...

 

If that is true

Then why is there not a secondary school in Barnsley that performs near the national average?</p>

Not having a dig, just curious like!</p>

 

This thread is ace and probably my favourite ever.......

Complain bitterly and generalise about a set of workers we don't actually know or care about for being idle Barstewards. </p>

I am sure most contributors to this board during the afternoon are posting on company time/money/systems etc. Incl my good self, IOWT et al</p>

Oooohh the irony</p>

Who are we moaning abart tomorrow? I reckon we should moan at Firemen for playing pool all day and when they work all they do is save kittens from trees for 30K+ a year.</p>

PS I hate council workers</p>

 

Its mi dinner hour yer cheeky bugger.

Don't forget how the firemen sneakily allow the public to go on thinking they have a dangerous job.

The shitbags.

 

Why does it take 8 men and 3 lorries

to dig one hole?

 

It'd have never happened if Maggy was in power!

 

RE: Why does it take 8 men and 3 lorries

I thought you were going to give us one of those problems the maths teacher used to set.

 

RE: If that is true

Cause most of the kids parents don't care and don't take an interest in their education

 

I was

but couldn't remember the whole equation ff

 

I simply cannot accept that is the case

I wont say that is not true of some, but the majority? No.</p>

 

Nobody would have a f*ckin job!!!

 

And they use up loads of water

Interestingly, 60% of all the Fire Engines you see out on the road are crewed by part time firefighters

 

RE: And they use up loads of water

Chuffin' part timers.

 

Is there any other kind?
