    Do you not think that offices just created roles to spend budgets.


    Any department head in any company will tell you it's part of their role to find ways to maximise productivity and efficiency so they can CUT budgets and save money. This often includes cutting down on staff numbers and putting twice and sometimes three times the workload on existing staff after headcount cuts are made.

    No business wants to waste money on what can be their greatest current liability on their balance sheet- namely staff salaries. So no, I don't think any business would create made-up roles "just to spend budgets", and quite frankly just on that- I'm struggling to take you seriously when you claim to be running your own gardening centre, but yet hold such a naive view of how business works.

    Do you have a sound system in your garden centre? If so do you ever play this song...

    None of the jobs you listed above are pen pushing jobs either, and cleaning up after yourself would be standard work practice anyway. So a cleaner, a tea person (nowadays most offices have no tea person, those jobs are contracted out to catering companies!), and a maintenance person are now also "not proper jobs" according to you?

    Either you're accidentally digging yourself into a hole, or you've run short of manure for your plants, I'm not quite sure.

    Ok Lets look at what is a real job?

    I'm happy with my job, 77 cent an hour, looking after my Mom, with long term dementia, and terminal cancer. I have no problem in kicking you guys in the arse, I decided I would and I work for what I do, it was my idea. (will I was slumming it I managed to create 5 full time jobs, I guessing that is a mistake :) )

    If your goal is to put food on the table, pay your rent/mortage, look after your kids, sort things out ect ect, look at a community base Idea, Make sure if you need help, ask for it and except it, you be surprised by how your community and friends react, most of the time they will happily help out, at the end of the day we need communities, and you be surprised what a community can do : D

    I'm pretty sure I have a real one, even by Hootanany's interpretation of a job.

    I get sweaty, dirty and tired from it.

    Am I a real man now?

    Cider actually, but thanks for trying flower boy!

    You must be a very angry horticulturalist. How are your pansies coming along? Id say you love being fist deep in dung. Are you an uphill or downhill gardener? You must be worshipped by the granny brigade. They love a "man" who can fiddle with their seeds.

    I wouldn't even bother descending to the OP's level when they display so clearly that they have no clue of the world outside their walled garden, let alone the sheer grit, sacrifice, determination and discipline it takes to be a member of the defence forces.

    I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread now, the OP is clearly bored with pottering about in their garden all day and has quite frankly lost the plot.

    Hello, the OP hasn't a clue what a job is, basically he thinks it a number two in the the toilet, wait till they have to deal with someone else's **** and constipation of your own believe system.

    And wait until he sees someone he cares about die from it.

    Let them tell me,I don't give a **** about my job.

    I'm sorry obviously I confused the OP for that they had a **** job, well get offer it OP.

    In the cases where the employee has a pile of work up to their eyeballs and a second position could easily be created on the basis of this workload and the employee in question regularly ends up starting earlier and finishing later than what they're paid for... yes. I mean no.

    You're not here to help. You're doing the opposite of help. You're like a reverse maid. You're an anti-maid.
