Some things you can't civilianise!

Recent local news article

As with all contracts, how can you ensure quality when the contractor is effectively written in as the boss.

Civ Company = profit
Profit = money not spent on service
=>decline in quality.

Up here at Leuchars, loyal, long-serving staff have gone unpaid for months, in some instances up to £800 in arrears.
In principle, PAYD is great - you pay for what you eat. However, when it goes as far as paying for individual slices of toast and saches of jam for afternoon tea, it's surely gone too far. Main meal portions have shrunk greatly in size and some staff are now more like salesmen than the usual friendly faces we were used to.

You can only put so much down to 'teething problems'


Oh, and did i say it was sh*te??
