Job opportunties at TSA in America.

Who said the Americans dont have a sense of humour.

Just replace TSA with G4S for this side of the atlantic.

East Sussex County Council.

I have had the misfortune to have numerous contacts with East Sussex County Council over the last few years.

It is interesting to note that on the whole the junior staff are polite and sympathetic but are not given any freedom to act beyond their rules which they seem to change to suit them.
The more senior staff right up to the level of heads/knobs of Department are however crap.They harp on about customer service without realising that we are not customers because we have no choice in public sector providers.
If you actually get to speak to these "senior" people it is obvious that they are ignorant of the fact that they are there to provide a service to you as a member of the public.
They are quite happy to talk to you providing you dont actually ask any tricky questions.They are even more happy if you dont say anything and let them gabble out their usual PC crap.Start asking them tricky questions and they cant cope.
They all seem to think they are more important than they actually are and they seem to have the impression that we the public are the servants and they are the masters.
Present them with the true state of play that they are actually the servants and we are the masters and they start to wobble because they have been brainwashed to the contrary.
Soon though we will have the last laugh because Greek style austerity measures are coming to a council near you regardless of whoever gets to form the next government.
We will all fall about laughing when these public sector morons are detached from the public teat with no prospect of getting another bullshit public funded job this side of the next ice age.
So to all those public sector leaders-enjoy it while you can because we all know the public finances are fucked and they are going to be the ones losing their jobs and pensions.You had better start being nice to people like me because some of you will be grovelling at my door no doubt wanting a job.
I have already formulated my policy of employing ex public sector drones so I am fully prepared.
My policy consists of stringing them along for a bit and then telling them to fuck off.If they protest I can say sorry "its the rules" and "close the door on the way out".

Jobcentre.

I have just looked on the Jobcentre website to do a jobsearch for a relative who has just lost their job.Rather than using the Jobcentre website to do the search you are redirected to a shite site called Directgov Jobs and skills search.Say what you will about the old Jobcentre jobsearch but at least it was user friendly and quick to search which cant be said for the new site.
The new site looks simpler than the old system but takes ages to do any searches.I started a search before writing this and it has only just come up with the results.Typically the Government has seen fit to "improve" something only to cock it up completely.No doubt Crapita or some other contractor has made a mint out of selling the taxpaying public a system that they think looks good(not my opinion) but does everything poorly.This could be a metaphor for modern Britains public services-overpriced but crap.Someone who commented on a previous post summed it up perfectly
"Due to letting the multi-headed Hydra of local government get rampantly out of control for so many years, you're going to be facing meagre US levels of services for astronomical Scandanavian levels of taxation."

Update

When I checked the results of my search that took so long to appear it became clear that the search facility is rubbish.I asked for a particular type of job within a reasonable distance of Tunbridge Wells and the first result of many unsuitable jobs was based in
Lewisham FFS.Thanks DWP now I know why many people refer to you as the Department of Wankers and Pillocks .That ladyboy Mrs Balls seems to be in charge now so what else can we expect,Balls by name Balls by nature.
