Either that or your boss is a bastard. Then again right around (and coincidentally) when i got sick of one of my old jobs they decided to "restructure" and i got a brass parachute (nowhere as nice as some of the guys that got 30-50k, but i did well for being there 2 yrs).
Neka, seriously, how serious are you about finding a job, etc elsewhere?
Mike, I work 4 the Council,(well I make an apperance on monday - friday anyway hahahahaha) so I'm only a number buddy....as 4 the redundency package, our u bewt lord mayor want to build a shitload of tunnels 2 ease our future traffic congestion...which is a fair enuff call, cause we have all these bloody southerners movin up here everyday however, this comes at a price, just thro my section (asset maintenance) we have been told we have to give back around 4 million bucks worth of work over the next financial year so they have money 4 the tunnels. We have just lost 60 -70% of our workforce in our section as it is, cause they just gave all the casuals the D.C.M. I'm sure my manager would luv 2 get rid of me tho cause i do my work well & dont kiss ass or suk up!!! all is well until they try 2 fuk me over on something I'm entitled 2......then look out me jumps up & down big time!!!!!!! That'll probly stop once little Johnny gets his fuken workplace reforms thro the senate but
Hating the labour guys in state parliment (nsw) hating the liberals in federal.
Gee these guys dont give you much choice, do they?
And yes i know theres the 3rd party guys, but generally they dont carry massive quantities of weight compared to the 1000lb gorillas we love to hate.
I honestly feel sorry for anyone who will be screwed by those reforms.
I mean the main reason people have the rights they do in a lot of industries is the simple fact that showing a united front (being part of a union) covers their asses pretty reasonably well.
Oh and Yappa, that sounds shit actually. im sure a fair few of those casuals help with the workload a fair bit. Good luck mate, sounds like the mayor up your way has thought about this a lot, theres only so much fat from the bone you can trim.
Christ im spending more time correcting typo's than actually typing new crap out!!!!
