Its working conditions. .

Not work related benefits.

Performance related pay. Data collection. Removal of teaching assistants. Constantly changing goalposts. New curriculum year on year. Challenging pupils with no parental backup.

Easy to scream laziness but there are reasons behind it.

my working conditions changed today. It pissed down, concrete was late, a client stopped a job because wed not filled in page 46 if a 85 page h&s document, an architect asked me to change something with no notice and an engineer made us fill forms in justifying what we had done, another client was being a cunt, and another hasnt paid...worked till gone 7pm and nobody asked me if I was ok.

 

can I go on strike?

Whilst we are at it though

 

I've had the worst start to 2014 that I could possibly imagine. Everything that could go wrong at work has done, it's been utterly fucking awful and it could take all year to recover, if I'm lucky.

 

Do I go on strike? Do I fuck. I crack on, thankful I have a job and make things happen. If I want to moan and act the cunt I come on here and do it where no one gives a fuck but at least I've let off steam. The only people that affects are the daft twats who've read this far.

 

Sympathy? Plenty, but not whilst you're at the Trafford centre buying Piz Buin.

I've googled and can't find Teachersarecuntsways.com/forum

 

Someone needs to make this happen

 

P.S. Last year, I was not satisfied in my job, I spent the Christmas period thinking what should I do next, did something about it in the New Year & I now have a lovely new one doing something slightly different.

If you're not happy, do something positive about it. Striking isn't positive.

Phoned council to ask could i have a £24 refund as they had taken my daughter out of school. I had a letter on Monday to say we had been fined £120for taken daughter on holiday. Apparently it doesn't work that way. Tossers

Was having this conversation at the match last night with a teacher who is on strike today.

 

Regarding the pension he said they only came into the profession as they were PROMISED a final salary pension and if it wasn't for that then they may not have done it & moved into another field.

 

Now I don't believe for one second that anyone of seniority told them that an outdated final salary pension scheme would be bestowed on teachers for the rest of eternity. In fact I'm sure that the Education Authority are ex's easing their right to amend employment contracts as long as they give due notice. Authorities are not breaking any contracts, there are clauses within them enabling future changes ffs. It's not like they are trying to back date the changes!!!!

I blame the Unions, IMO folk would get on and crack on with their jobs come what may and take changes as they come.

 

Employment law in this country is the strictest in the world, so its not as though employers can do what the fuck they want

if employers can be arsed following the rules, they can do pretty much what they want so long as they can justify it

 

its just such a long winded process that most go bust before they can complete it

 

unless theyre a biggie with 500 in HR

Have you had your morning dump yet?

 

If not, it'd be a shame to waste it...

To be honest though a lot of teachers could earn more in the commercial sector, the pension plan was one of the reasons they joined the profession. On the pay grades they have would they be able to get the most gifted graduates into the profession?

 

As a headmaster my dad earned a lot less then his counterparts in business and certainly could have gone into this world and been very successful, he even turned down a place to study medicine. It wasn't just for the pension, he really wanted to be a teacher, but having this as a benefit certainly helped.

 

I don't agree with the strike by the way, it's just its boring hearing the whole, my job is tough boo-fucking-hoo from you lot as well without you giving the certain benefits from working in the commercial sector, of which there are many.

so, leave?

 

daughter bear wants to do teaching and its costing her/us a fortune

 

she wants to do it cos she wants to do it

 

nowt to do with pay, conditions, pensions

 

maybe when she gets older pay/conditions and mortgages might change her outlook but at the moment, shes one of the ones who really isn't arsed about anything other than a job she thinks she can enjoy

 

if a teacher enjoys the job but doesn't like the conditions they need to weigh it up, surely

Got a letter about a month ago about my youngest poor attendance record apparently if you drop below about 85%ish it's now a problem so i phoned the cunts and left a message because the "Head Of Year" was busy and about 1 hour later she called back

 

HOY - What's the problem Mr G

Me - My problem is that i've received this letter about my sons "poor Attendance" through illness and that you need a doctors note is that correct 

HOY - Yes it's now a national thing and it's what you now have to do

Me - So you want me to give you a sick note for my 14 year old son

Hoy - Erm well it's not a sick note it's a letter off his doctor

Me - How ever you want to dress it up it's a sick note for a child

HOY - Well no but.......

Me - No buts about it, my son isn't ill now and when he was ill our Maude didn't take him to the doctors because we had to wait a week for an oppointment + you actually sent him home on 3-4 occassions yourself because he was too ill to stay in school and JFTR he has very bad asthma

HOY - Erm i don't have that information in front of me

Me - Well i tell you what go and get the information and call me back when you understand his problems a little bit more

HOY - No need Mr G i will take your word for it

Me - Well that's very nice of you and for the record i will not be going to the doc's for a sick note for my 14 year old and i will not be justifying myself to you or anyone else so you can stick your letter

HOY - I'm sorry about all this i will delete this letter from his records

Me - Good, make sure you do and in the future ring me instead of send out 1 of your arsey letters and i will explain and goodbye

 

By the fuck the cunts sent him home last week because he was ill

Sorry i just don't agree with this analogy. Back then nobody went into a profession  thinking their pension was a huge consideration in their choice. Most employers in 60's and 70's offered white collar staff final salary pension schemes as they were affordable to both the private and public sector. However during the past 25 years both tories then labour chipped away at the foundations that underpinned the affordability. Then with increasing life expectancy coupled with the major stock market dip in the late 80's and early  90's made private companies nervous as they had (thanks to John Major) now needed to show any potential future deficit on their balance sheets.

 

Whatever, final salary schemes are pretty much by and large unaffordable. Recipients need to thank their lucky stars they have been in one and move on. I lost mine in 2008. If i had continued and retired on it in 8 years time it would have paid out £110k. However its now worth half of that. I lost my job in 2010 and have gone back to college to try to get a job in the NHS. Will I expect a final salary scheme? No. Am I doing it because of that No.

 

If your dad had gone into the private sector he may have found the pressure of having to constantly deliver profit to many different owners hard to cope with. He may have found himself out of a job many times over. There are many advantages to working in the public sector that you cannot put in terms of money but are not present in the private sector.
