Then you've ignored the fact that I don't believe anyone should be paid more than 70k and those are the people that should be focused on, but that would not suit the ordinary worker envy frenzy agenda now would it ?

Any time anyone comments on them, a lot of Public service employees are straight on defending wages and any concerns about the overpaid get shouted down by them

They're their own worse enemy sometimes. It's been shown there is excess in the public sector..time to chop all areas (unfortunately at the moment only front line services are been hit, while the others hide behind them)

Surprise surprise , ordinary workers will ask people to have the honesty and decency to after the corrupt wealthy people in this country for a change, before cutting and complaining about other ordinary workers wages. Wages that are taxed then and spent on local private sector goods and services.

But the higher paid are hiding behind the outrage of the ordinary worker.

Never stopped you having a go at the lowest paid in the public sector before. Don't come on here pretending you're only mad at the highest paid. Your bitterness doesn't seem to have limits.

Who exactly are the lowest paid in the public sector you speak of? certainly not the Gardai or the teachers



Almost 3,000 civil servants on salaries over €70,000 are to get pay increases.

It says a total of 63pc of the 31,618 workers in the civil service -- or 19,710 staff -- are eligible for an increment.

Of these, almost three-quarters, or 13,839, are on pay up to €50,000.

The payments are either annual increases or long-service payments, which are given at three- and six-year intervals in the civil service and are worth in the region of €3,000 each.

The long-service increments are given when workers have been in their job for a certain number of years after reaching the top of their pay scale.

The incremental pay scale for an assistant secretary who joined the civil service after 1995 rises in four stages from €134,523 to €153,885.

Ah yes here we go again, more envy frenzy. So you didn't have the qualifications or ability to earn an honest living as a guard or teacher, big boo fecking hoo.

Never mind where the 100 of billlions are going, i.e. to seanie, bertie, fingers, dunner, scama, secret bondholders and associated cronies and lick arses. What a coward.

I think if you read my posts you'll find out whether or not I have the qualifications or ability to earn an honest living as a guard or teacher, Epic Stalker Fail


As for the rest, good argument:D

Tuesday January 24 2012
STAFF at failed state training agency FAS sought pay hikes of up to €6,000 a year when they moved to a new government department.

The wage increases were sought by their union representatives despite the fact the employees were not asked to move buildings and all that was changing was the name over the door.

Staff transferring to the same department from the Health Service Executive (HSE) also argued for higher pay scales, and unions claimed some members should no longer make pension contributions.

SIPTU argued that the FAS staff were on lower pay but would be "liable" to do the same job as a higher civil service grade worker.

Their pay starts at €57,964, rising to up to €74,311. But the assistant principal pay scale rises in increments to €76,768 for those hired before 1995, and up to €80,678 for those hired after that year.

Numerous disputes arose when 1,700 staff from FAS and the HSE moved to the department over the last few months.

No sense of entitlement here:pac: Attitudes throughout the public service need to change

All while the corrupt attitudes of the Irish private sector, the sector that bankrupted Ireland with its shenanigans are swept under the carpet.

Meanwhile the attitudes of the Irish private sector demand that ordinary taxpayers foot the bill for over €200 billion of golden private sector speculation debts, scama, Anglo etc. etc. etc. etc. :pac::pac::pac:

And who guaranteed this again? hmmmm some public servants was it? :rolleyes:

We can very easily check if your telling the truth or bullshyting.

So a few more details please : What department is it, what do they do, what grade ? What's their start time, how many days per week do they work ?

2) Flexitime gives staff flexibility to vary their starting and finishing times, depending on the needs of their section. Staff must be in work during the core times of 10.00am - 12.30pm and 2.30pm – 4.00 pm. A person may start work between 8.00am and 10.00am and finish between 4.00pm and 7.00pm. Staff may build up hours during a four week flexi period which can be taken as leave in the next flexi period.
