Bulls*it Jobs

Who cares. All jobs are bull**** anyway

Without providing further details about your friend, the “shudder” company she joined and the consultancy work she now does, your op is not worth much discussion as you have not validated anything. My idea of bull**** jobs would be many of the 100% commission, door to door type jobs which are always advertised. Phonewatch and some of chugger type jobs would be an example

Two I know in particular are involved in startups. Basically leeches.

One of them, a girl who dropped out of primary teaching in Marino, who spent a six month internship in a seed capital (shudder) firm has now set up her own 'consultancy' firm. I **** you not

What if her consultancy firm turns out to be really successful and she makes a good living? It's not outside the realms of possibility these days, and she might be calling you an "innocent fool" for trying to pursue fucking forestry. Let her try be successful.

A lot of jobs out there are guff if you break them down.
But as long as you can make a living who cares. From a personal aspect just see through the lies tho and not be worked into thinking something is bigger and or important.

Good on her. Screw the begrudgers. The way of working is changing from traditional methods to freelance and consulting work as innovation increases at a rapid pace. Maybe she is not the fool here....

No, it's usually done by artificial insemination. Very few farmers can justify the cost of keeping their own bull. Actual bulls these days are usually for breed enthusiasts.

Well, I've learned something at stupid o'clock in the morning... being a city dweller, I just remember my uncle having a bull or two hanging around his fields.

What the feck is a social media manager? lol...
Like let's indulge in the BS that in social media for a second. But you hire people to create content, what time to post it, click funnels and all that BS. But at the end of the day it's the person who you hired to do all the thinking and clicking. How does a manager come into play in this case? :pac:

I get that you have to report to someone but a manger?

They may cost £37 million without factoring in security and others but they also bring in £1.8 billion a year so in comparison they are far better value for money than the Irish president.

Pretty strange to have live humans as a tourist attration tbh....but then the whole monarchy thing belongs to the 19th century anyway I guess?

Ah yes, what we can all look forward to: the gig economy.

I suppose that's innovation and not regression...

Substitute teacher ! Meaningless job with no real route to progression. Usually thought very little off by students and treated like rubbish from permanent teachers . Great career choice.

Do people choose a career as a substitute teacher? Nonsense suggestion anyway, teaching is one of the most important jobs there are.

Really?

Are we actually to believe that £1.8bn comes into the UK every year that would not come in if they didn't have a monarchy?

That's a lot of tourists who would decide, "I don't care about seeing the London Eye, Big Ben, Tower of London, Buckingham palace, Scottish Highlands etc, if there isn't a queen knocking around....sure what's the point?"

I'm also curious as to how you are so sure about the number £1.8bn? It's pretty specific, was there a year there recently without a Monarch where we can look at visitor numbers and make comparisons? Or did someone just pull a number out of their Ar$e and then it was repeated so often people think it's fact?

Nursing, teaching, garda and army.
I admire the people who do these jobs because the money is poor and the abuse high, especially in the last two.
They really have to have a vocation for these jobs.

I agree with you on the abuse side of things and they are tough jobs no doubt.

But apart from the army they are well paid jobs

Outsourced call centres and admin work.

KPIs, targets, audits. Low pay, clunky bureaucracy, training is serving-suggestion only. These jobs exist to exploit whatever talent and work ethic you have and reward you with the least in return. My feelings towards anyone who tries to progress in these environments is a combination of astonishment and pity. Your duty to yourself is to leave as soon as possible.

More fool you. Read the Constitution. The President is the executive.

Appoints the Government, appoints the judiciary, refers concerning bills to the Supreme Court, signs bills into law, can dissolve the Dáil, supreme commander of the Defence Forces. He also represents the Irish nation abroad.

You need to read up on the separation of powers.

Country of 65m Vs 4.5m though. Per capita the monarch would probably be cheaper

True but I would argue his role should more hands on and integrated within government. Alot of his role is pretty ceremonial despite the titles

There's been plenty of articles on it, The Guardian, in particular, have a bee in their bonnet over it. It's some firm who calculated the money spent on tourist on monarchy related things when in the UK.

Had a job interview in a particularly crappy call centre in the City center like 2 years ago. I went because it was set up but I already had a job lined up at that point but might aswell go there to see.
There were two people interviewing me and when I started to ask them questions about the company and what they offer their employees the guy got incredibly annoyed with me and started to become pretty rude. The girl was embarrassed and mumbled something about "well it's not a challenging job and it's quite monotone" and after we did a short language assessment we parted ways when I told them that this won't work for either of us.
What a sad place that was.

Worked in them. Non existant "training" and most back stabbing nature ever.

All finance jobs and most law jobs are bullshyt. All based on lies and illusions to get €€€€ from the ignorant joe soap on the street.

Solicitors are talented spoofers, they will clean folk out and not bat an eyelid.
