Fuel duty cut will cost £500,000,000

[Linford]

Phew!

He's got to agree with you as in that same thread he fessed up to being responsible for hiring Nurses as part of his job.

Now I've laid bare my qualifications, experience and income on the table who wants to seriously tell me I am on the gravy train?

Oh, and as well as having UK nursing registration I am an RN in both New Zealand and the USA. I had a green card in the US and a job lined up in Seattle (as did my wife) but we chose to stay in the UK on the birth of our child. We didn't chose to stay for the money or the lifestyle I can tell you.

But, but, but.....if you're not in it for the money then you must be in it either because you like your job or you enjoy helping people? If either of those is the case then Linford wants to cut your pay because we can't possibly pay you for something that is valuable, that you're good at and that you might enjoy!!!

I should flipping well hope so. For you to move abroad after the state has invested so much time and money in you would be such a betrayal really

I salute your ethic and take it all back. I'm sorry, but my less than rose tinted view of state workers will never be the same again - you are the exception to the rule

Its a balance of things. I could have left the NHS years ago and been selling pharmaceuticals, etc (ughh). I could have gone into NHS management and earnt more money (boring). I could (and might) leave the UK to work abroad. I do love my job though and am very good at it. That fact is taken advantage of by most governments. Oh, and I really object to being told I am on the gravy train or have a gold plated pension.

The thing is Linford. Where I work it's the norm and not the exception.

So you work for the agency getting nurses for the 'bank' then ?

Now we are getting along so well that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you can call me Linf

Would this be easier for you if I drew pictures?[/quote]

But you fessed up to interviewing them on the other thread......

Or as it's a free country, you could call him all the things you really want to call him!!

No I didn't. You really must not go around misquoting people. I simply suggested I would find it boring.

I'll have you know that my parents are alive and well and got married long before I came along

It was perhaps a little much to hope for on my part

 

[martint235]

What happened? I went off to do a bit of work and the thread died! I wouldn't leave a goldfish with you lot!
