    Do you not think that offices just created roles to spend budgets.


    Any department head in any company will tell you it's part of their role to find ways to maximise productivity and efficiency so they can CUT budgets and save money. This often includes cutting down on staff numbers and putting twice and sometimes three times the workload on existing staff after headcount cuts are made.

    No business wants to waste money on what can be their greatest current liability on their balance sheet- namely staff salaries. So no, I don't think any business would create made-up roles "just to spend budgets", and quite frankly just on that- I'm struggling to take you seriously when you claim to be running your own gardening centre, but yet hold such a naive view of how business works.

    None of the jobs you listed above are pen pushing jobs either, and cleaning up after yourself would be standard work practice anyway. So a cleaner, a tea person (nowadays most offices have no tea person, those jobs are contracted out to catering companies!), and a maintenance person are now also "not proper jobs" according to you?

    Either you're accidentally digging yourself into a hole, or you've run short of manure for your plants, I'm not quite sure.

    Why use "Building a wall" as an example, when the hardest thing you do is pick up a watering can. :pac:

    My job isn't a "real job". Its imaginary. So are those wages from said job in my bank account :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 248 ✭✭GoldenLight


    Ok Lets look at what is a real job?

    I'm happy with my job, 77 cent an hour, looking after my Mom, with long term dementia, and terminal cancer. I have no problem in kicking you guys in the arse, I decided I would and I work for what I do, it was my idea. (will I was slumming it I managed to create 5 full time jobs, I guessing that is a mistake :) )

    If your goal is to put food on the table, pay your rent/mortage, look after your kids, sort things out ect ect, look at a community base Idea, Make sure if you need help, ask for it and except it, you be surprised by how your community and friends react, most of the time they will happily help out, at the end of the day we need communities, and you be surprised what a community can do : D

    I'm pretty sure I have a real one, even by Hootanany's interpretation of a job.

    I get sweaty, dirty and tired from it.

    Am I a real man now?

    Cider actually, but thanks for trying flower boy!

    You must be a very angry horticulturalist. How are your pansies coming along? Id say you love being fist deep in dung. Are you an uphill or downhill gardener? You must be worshipped by the granny brigade. They love a "man" who can fiddle with their seeds.

    I wouldn't even bother descending to the OP's level when they display so clearly that they have no clue of the world outside their walled garden, let alone the sheer grit, sacrifice, determination and discipline it takes to be a member of the defence forces.

    I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread now, the OP is clearly bored with pottering about in their garden all day and has quite frankly lost the plot.

  • Registered Users Posts: 248 ✭✭GoldenLight


    Hello, the OP hasn't a clue what a job is, basically he thinks it a number two in the the toilet, wait till they have to deal with someone else's **** and constipation of your own believe system.

    And wait until he sees someone he cares about die from it.

    Let them tell me,I don't give a **** about my job.

    I'm sorry obviously I confused the OP for that they had a **** job, well get offer it OP.

    In the cases where the employee has a pile of work up to their eyeballs and a second position could easily be created on the basis of this workload and the employee in question regularly ends up starting earlier and finishing later than what they're paid for... yes. I mean no.

    You're not here to help. You're doing the opposite of help. You're like a reverse maid. You're an anti-maid.

    The OP is a moron.

    I have the best job in the world. I am paid to travel the world working on client sites and when I am not onsite I work from home where I get up at about 11 and finish up at about 5. I get all my meals paid for me and I fly first class and stay in 5 star hotels.

    I get more satisfaction from completing a project than the OP every could laying a few bricks.

    I worked hard to get where I am today and I won't have some out of work loser tell me that my job doesn't matter.

    What's your job?

    No, I live on a farm so I do most of the work on it, My mothers unemployed as she ran into health problems when she had a job and is no longer able to work and we'er in financial difficulty the past year. So I work on my dads farm while he is out earning money himself. I am studying computer technology from 9 - 5 I come home and go out to our farm to work from 5.30 - 10. (I get up at 7 and work then get ready and go to the course) I also done a hotel and catering course last year, so I think I will go back to that in September to qualify as a chef. On the weekend I work on the farm with my dad. So I don't really have a job as such I just help my dad out with the farm work, so he will have more time to to do his work. to be able to put food on the table etc.

    Fair play to whatever post made you make a complete twat of yourself with the above post.
    I doubt very much that your job matters if you are so defensive about it.

    Fixed your post there for you OP. Don't worry about thanking me. I'm sure you don't have time, what with the real job and all.

    Trolling isn't your strong point. Don't bother trying it again.

    Other nice folk - please don't feed the trolls - they like to bite.
