Gateshead Council Workers - Easy Life

[Jimmy]

Who else thnks that Council Workers have it easy? Private businesses have owners who need their staff to be on the ball to make money. Gateshead Council leaders dont! A lot of workers are on flexi time, fantastic pensions ect and lengthy maternity leave. Please let me have a job there! Evrytime I ring them up all I get is "erm....Ill pass you through to the relevant people" I reckon it's one big party at the civic centre in gateshead.

Can anyone let me know how I can get a job there - my requirements are £27k a year , flexi time, full pension oh and I forgot, where I currently work I only get 22 days a year holiday, will the council give me more?

and guess what..its my taxes that pays for all these perks...

Rant over :)

Jimmy, I think you are being too hard on the council workers. Look at the bin men and the guys and girls at the tyne tunnel ect. They work hard and a lot of the council workers are only on 6.50 an hour.

A lot of the council are on strike this week so their pay can't be that good!
