jules_darby Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Apologies to those that do a tough job and work hard without moaning. Lecturers and even those in training dor a tough job...You know who you are However I have a few of them moaning all the time on my FB wall about pay and conditions... And 3 of the fuckers are posting pics today in expensive ski-ing resorts Now fair enough But stop moaning that you're on the breadline...is it bred into them at PGCE that they must moan about their salaries?!

only1swanny Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Everyjobs got idiots... and unfortunately the idiots normally have the biggest mouths.. Likewise I've decided pay related pay will be awesome, as I'll be shit hot, enthusiastic and driven therefore I'll be wadded... Quote
Guest Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 that would have been a decent perk http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-26369797 Quote
Breightmet Boy Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 What the campaigning for now, extra holidays? Is it just me that thinks nurses are overpaid ? All they are are glorified carers in my eyes, it's the doctors that call the shots. Some nurses that work 'Bank' are on a fantastic hourly rate. Don't fall for it chaps. Quote

Carlos Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Woman next door is a carer, she's always blooning that she's working for £150 an hour, cash in hand then coming back with a load of Selfridges bags. Quote
no balls Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I have to admit I have had a number of bad experiences with nurses from myself and my family. I think I was close to twatting one when my dad was I'll but that's another story. There's plenty of good ones I know, but they're not saints like some folk say and let's be honest, the same as other trades, you know the going rate. Quote
Breightmet Boy Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Bank nurses get a great wage, the hourly rate is awesome. As for long hours, I'd do 10hr days if I only had to do 4 days a week. From what I've seen, my mums carers do more than any nurse has ever done, I'm sticking to my words through what I've seen . Quote
Big City Girl Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Fair play to them, they deserve good money. That's a job I couldn't do. Quote
Andydee Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Nurses went downhill when they abandoned 'proper' uniforms in favour of a various colours of theatre scrubs type outfits. I don't think they're overpaid though. Quote
MalcolmW Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Teaching - like nursing - is a vocation. If you are simply doing it for the money, then you are in the wrong job. I had a high opinion of nurses until I had an operation, spending 5 long days in hospital. Apart from two, the sisters were unhelpful. Ringing the bell at night was unlikely to receive a response within 30 minutes. The juniors were more interested in arranging shift swaps to benefit their social lives than caring for patients. If the consultant hadn't called in from the golf course on Saturday morning to perform a simple test, which several nurses had failed to do properly over the previous 2 days (and which I suspect he knew - hence the unexpected visit) I'd have been in there even longer. As it was I only just got home in time to see BWFC v Spurs on TV (August 2006). Edited February 28, 2014 by MalcolmW Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I don't get the vitriol (even tongue in cheek) folk like teachers, nurses, miners (or rather ex-miners), railway workers etc. get sometimes... It's baffling, perhaps they should all pack it in and go and 'generate wealth' by working for BT or Smithkline Beecham... Quote

They don't get shit for the jobs they do, they get shit for going into a job and then doing nowt but fucking moan about the pay, pension, etc. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah, because they're always stood on picket lines - public sector workers are pissed off because the goalposts are constantly shifting... It'd be fair enough, if they were wealth creating enterprises -they aren't, that's the crux of the argument. How can you impose performance related pay/incentive/pensions scale in vocational jobs? That's why the crime rate in the USA is soaring, detectives get paid on arrest rate, one who arrests 30 crackheads for possession will earn more than a homicide detective working a single case of murder - is that sensible? People are leaving the vocational professions in droves - fire service, teaching, nursing, policing...They know when they signed up what the script was regarding pay - the goalposts are constantly shifting tho'.

Youri McAnespie Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Aaagh f*ck it, we've been over and over this, you pay peanuts you get monkeys - when you're lay in a bed of your own shit with 3rd degree burns after a chip pan fire where the fire crew only turned up after a thirty mile trek from south Manchester - then you get pumped full of the wrong drug because the admin staff in the hospital are barely literate oafs then don't say I didn't warn you Quote
gonzo Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Takes a special kind of person to be a nurse IMO. From all the various dealings I've had with Blackpool Vic I don't honestly think they are paid enough. They do a thankless job dealing with horrendous situations,sometimes horrendous people and are expected to just smile all the way through it. Different class of person IMO Quote
