Reply to: Zero hours contracts

[eek]

The Tory independent schools sector is doing very nicely thank you. Which is more than can be said for your lots performance in the state sector.

is it? The number of independent schools closing down or trying to become state sponsored acedemies shows a rather different picture...

Those Reds eh? What are they like? You would never have had this situation back in the glory days of Conservatism. Between 1979 and 1997 Education standards in this country soared, with the happy consequence of no-one being unemployable at all.

Oh wait......

yes but you are 'reassuringly expensive' not on below minimum wage.

I was one once. when DA was my agent.....

Isn't that what contracting is about? You get shafted by one agent, then another, then another.....

So because they've already been shafted by one lot, they should be shafted by another?

Life's a bitch.

What would you do to help them then einstein?

[Bunk]

the real unlucky ones are those who have been handed out a dire education courtesy of the socialist run education institutions.

So your point is what exactly? It's Ok for immoral organisations to abuse thick/unlucky people because, er ...they do?

Who are these "thick/unlucky people?"

Most people in this position are there by choice, the rest are unlucky because they are disabled and the real unlucky ones are those who have been handed out a dire education courtesy of the socialist run education institutions.

I was responding to Seagull's point suggesting that everyone was responsible for their own career, as I indicated some people don't have 'a career' they do a job and are glad to have one. (hint 'abused' was a clue to my feelings in the matter).

Now whether they should develop a career strategy and devote their down time to studying etc the fact is the majority of people earn under the average wage (yes this is one case where an average is an aspiration for most) and will continue to do so, they have low job security and almost no financial buffers.

statistics show a good portion of people would run out of money in 18 days and have little or no higher education. These are the ones that these large multinationals prey on.

It's a choice. The benefit of a flexible labour market is that thick / unlucky people can choose which immoral organisation they'd like to be abused by. Those people who refuse to be abused are simply making a bad choice because of their sense of entitlement.

yep shock horror some people are 'below average' or unlucky, these people don't get the high flying jobs they end up with low paying sh*t jobs that they are glad to have and are abused by immoral organisations.

I do agree <note time and date> that education is the key and that the lack of affordable housing has been a problem since the right to buy homes weren't replaced.

For the record, I do think a lot of people in this country from top to bottom don't manage their careers properly and drag out jobs that they should of ditched years ago for something new. Problem is, lower earners tend to have less choice in new roles.
