PAF you are the kind of person that other people make moneY from. The perfect prolotariat. Well done.
For other LAME's who realise that their preferred profession is underpaid I say FIGH FOR WHAT YOU ARE WORTH.
ONCE YOU REALISE THAT FIGHT IS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT, TAKE YOUR SKILLS TO ANOTER PLACE WHERE YOU WILL BE BETTER REWARDED. IN SO DOING YOU JUST WON THE FIGH AND ALSO MOVED TO GREANER PASTURES.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOUR BOSS TOOK YOU AND YOUR FAMILY OUT TO A FINE DINING MEAL? MOVE ON AND GO TO BETTER PLACES.
IT IS AN EMPLOYEES MARKET RIGHT NOW, AND ANY COMPANY MANAGER WHO DOESN'T REALISE THIS IS A LOOSER, AND THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT LOOKING AFTER THEIR SHAREHOLDERS INTERESTS BY NOT SECURING THE QUALITY OF THEIR LABOUR FORCE.
GEOFF YOU HAVE STAYED TOO LONG AND HAVE AN OLD TIMERS VISION. IT'S TIME TO MOVE WITH THE TIMES OR MOVE ON.
BY THE WAY PAF -- AS A CLIENT ONLY I WHOLLY SUPPORT THE ENGINEERS STRIKE. ANY PERSONAL INCONVENIENCE IS MINOR COMPARED TO HAVING A BETTER PRODUCT AVAILABLE TO ME IN THE FUTURE.
