Message to Public Sector Workers

Noelisgod

Stop whining about your pay cuts and pension levies etc - its tough having to take a pay cut but guess what you work for the govt which is primarily funded by the private sector which is now on its knees. You should be extremely thankful you have a guaranteed pensionable job. Still not happy? then pack your job in altogether cause there is 400k people willing to take your spot - rant over.

And also cut the dole to €100 a week for those 400,000. Those of us still in jobs private or public cannot afford to keep paying out vast sums in social welfare. Cut the Child Benefit to €100 per child as well. Go after the lone parents/ disability fraudsters who are fiddling the state as well.

Just brilliant.

Cut the dole - great idea!

Give bankers carte blanche to do as the like- brilliant!

Lets all start fighting over who is getting what, and what you are not getting- why not!

Watch your work colleagues and report them over minor indiscretions so as you can keep your job!

Blame public servants cos they have security- do they really? What happens when Ireland goes broke!.


The thing is this country is now lacking one big factor, motivation to succeed. Without this we are not going to get out of this mess and this mess is the most serious threat to life as we know it.

When confidence goes, panic rises. What happens next year if the government cant keep confidence in the banking system as the job losses mount and the individuals seep deeper into debt. Then there will be a rush on the banks.

Is your money safe in the Bank? No of course not. Where is it safe? No where really as the thing is when this country goes down the pan an the IMF moves in things will go belly up.

The recession is not just a recession its a depression and the people of Ireland are depressed more then most, although Eastern Europe is a mess , they have no hope there at present.

We lack a strong leader to motivate the people, social unrest is around the corner of that there is no doubt.

I hope I am wrong but I doubt it very much.

Private sector cuts will now follow the public sector cuts, many in the private sector dont realise this, the cuts they were screaming for from public sector workers will allow private sector employers to slash wages, many in the private sector have avoided cuts so far but its coming. Public sector services are going to deterioate enormously in the next 12 months, if you want to motivate people you dont cut their wages. public service had nothing to do with the way this economy crumbled, private sector practice and speculation caused it and it is they who should carry the can. public sector pay is also accepted in private sector cash registers but their will be a lot less of it going around now!!!

You seem to mixed up about the order. The private sector had it's cuts first.

When you work hard and your company actually pays overtime, giving over 50% in tax is a pretty big disincentive to even bother

A lot of private sector companies did this already or even last year
