having to apply for your own job

[goat starer]

What are they planning for you if you don't get your own job?

redundancy! but it would be quite funny as I would take the whole model and set it up as an independent organisation with all the old staff and see who people go to

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

I suspect they have a problem. You can only be redundant if your job doesn't exist for the next 18 months. It would not be hard to show it did exist ?

to explain that particular issue i would have to go into a bit of depth and right now it makes me want to cry so I won't.

What I will say is I have been lied to and backed into a corner where all of my options result in someone important having their nose put of joint.

I cant believe the crap that Tories cause in this country -0 even when they just control hung local authorities they can still dismantle everything of any use, cause unemployment and generally foul up the local social fabric and economy. God help all of us if that political chameleon louse Cameron actually manages to win the next election.

My take on that is the legislation is useless. It should simply read:

"Have people you work with/for (etc) made you cry?".

In my view that would cover all the various Acts. (Apart from using the various pieces of legislation in my own defense at times I had to write an exceedingly boring essay on all the equal ops, employmentdisability/human bla bla  rights never mind data protection).

But of course legislation is useless. What's needed is people based. <sigh>

I suspect one needs to take a patent out on one's own brain processes before taking up any gainful employment.

I'm sorry.

I am starting to think my ideal job would be - hermit

but the pay is lousy and you dont meet many interesting people

au contraire, hermits come down from their caves occasioanlly and surprise the populace, I'd like that, shambling into town with a very long beard wearing ragged robes and being mysterious, have a good few mystique ridden conversations, then disappear into the misty hills again

yeh, the pay's a problem

how about Adopt a Hermit schemes - make an excellent Christmas present

According to Dr Who Hermit's United meet every ten years and swap stories about caves.

You could always take up a new sport  -- like sheep surfing. Might be some advertising contracts in that-- and of course lots of wool for hermit robes.
