We are all lucky to have jobs.....

.........but Employment in Ireland has became a torrid affair for those in the middle and the bottom. I'm glad i'm not unemployed but some employers are taking the total pss. Workloads that require working through brakes, after a shift and still no thanks. If anything they expect more done and higher standards. Oh and not replaceing staff when they leave. Sick of it now. I'm working for no sole trader either.
Taxs are cutting me down to the pay packet and it aint going to get better is it. My car tax is gone up, they want to charge me for using my computer and the 2 cent rise in my petrol costs turned out to be ten cent. who ya reckon is going to pay this household charge, me the tenant... it will stream to eventually.

I'll leave a job behind me if i leave this country but the reason i do it aint going to be cause I want to leave my home soil.

But Steve Jobs died.

Also "working through brakes"? Yee may need an NCT.

I have to say, the previous 2 replies are trying to come across as witty. But really they come across as ****e. Typical after hours posters.

Well take the lead Rambo. Do something other than whine and cry. You think posts aren't up to scratch? Make a good one. Contribute something.

I'll take the hug. Buy you a pint. Maybe even friends. Just hate people trying to be clever.

Not trying to be anything. You're the one taking some personal vendetta against my posts.

Does it make you feel inadequate?

When you leave Ireland you'll quickly realise that it's like that everywhere, and for a huge number of people it was like that before any recession hit.

How can it be personal? No vendetta. The opening poster posted his thoughts. All valid. You made fun of him. I defended him. Absolutely nothing personal. You could be the greatest person alive. However this after hours.

I'm alright Jack! I'm going for a new job at the airport... breastfeeding mediator.

The only reason people emigrate is because they wish to/want to expand their horizons.
It's ridiculous to think that anyone would have reason to, otherwise.
Didn't Michael Noonan make that clear, recently?
Don't you people listen?

Problem mo fu ker?

Ireland has unfortunately become an abysmal place for most people who are working for the reasons you have outlined.

It seems almost every single employer enforces the 'You're lucky to have a job' bull****, working staff into the ground, pay freezes or cuts etc.

Yep, but doesnt mean I have to keep being reminded of it. I have a great job, which I enjoy most days. I do not enjoy it every day...I would actually be interested to know how many people would like my job..I am in a caring profession that looks after severely neurologically impaired children, many of who are dying.....so swapsies anyone?

overshoot

op i definately know where your coming from. its a simple case of doing your job to the best of your ability and then just acknowledge that standards will fall. you can do so much and if they require more than its the customer who will suffer. if management dont care, whats the point in you giving a flying fuck?
by all means dont be rude to the customers, even joke with them about it but its the management who sets the desired standard, the customer decides if its acceptable.... your just the middle man (and not paid to think:pac:)

That sounds like a tough gig. More power to you. IMHO anyboby in the front line of the caring professions such as nurses etc cant be praised highly enough

Thank you darling, may you be F or M! Am quite angry with the phrase "you are lucky to have a job" as this annoys me greatly....many of my family are now without jobs, one of whom was educated to masters level....and is currently almost without a job....and I am only a nurse...with only qualifications in general nursing, paediatric nursing and palliative care..end of.

jimbobaloobob

i think at this stage many people are over qualified for the level of jobs that are out there. its either felt they will get bored with working a lesser skill job or the opposite side of it is that they have so much academic time that they have no pratical experience.

i know many friends who have suffered this dilema
