I’m a silly servant. I have heard that one of the partays wants to cut silly servant jobs by 1/3 and another party wants to get rid of job security (efectively breaking our union). Every time the guv wants to save money, it’s always the worker bees that get picked on first. The reason this province is in so much debt is because of the mis-steps and corruption of past government (IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CIVIL SERVANTS). Remember the $800.00 toilet seats and the highway paint and all of the corruption that surrounded a certain past premier? What about all the managers and directors and what not that sit on their arses and do nothing while pulling in 80 – 90 k salaries? —Silly Me the Worker Bee

On the bright side, Defence Minister Peter McKay has demonstrated that some acquisition projects that he “manages” can come in on shedule and at cost. >: ) Congrats Dad, and where the F*** are our naval helicopters?
Everyone knows half of those civil servant jobs are redundant. But they pay someone’s salary. We’re in a recession here buddy so civil servants are fair game too. Sorry.
Nope. All Dexter’s fault. The past does not matter at all. Am I getting that right Victor Meldrew?
The public sector should be cut by 1/3, and your union should be broken. I don’t care if you’re a worker bee or a manager, you are over paid and over compensated. The only people with job security like that are gov employees and welfare recipients, which pretty much equates to the same thing. Money for life, and entitlement up the ass!!!!!
GET BENT!!!!!!
Since most of the public doesn’t have the comfort of a pension plan, public service or private, you should be grateful for what you’ve got, OP. Swivel servants are privileged whiners, especially the zombie troops of that fucking fatass, bouffant-wearing fearless leader, Bone Hess-Em.
You’ve got to love N.S. politics. Where else in the country would a Tory criticize an N-Dipper for giving corporate bailouts. Where else would the NDP target the Liberals with attack ads playing to that visceral dislike and distrust of Quebec that most people possess and few will admit to. All Lurch McNeil has to do is keep his gob shut and we’ll hand him the province.
If he’s stupid enough to actually want it.
I see Communication Nova Scotia in conjunction with Joan Jessome, is working overtime.
i’m not going to agree or disagree op. Instead i’m gonna tell you a story.
Before my career took off, i was working at a call center doing tech support. My boss (who was awesome btw) sat us down and said “A lot of the time you’ll think my job is easier than yours. I do less hard work for better pay. Well. you’re right. Because for FIVE YEARS i sat where you’re sitting now. I earned it.”
I reckon he’s right. When you earn it, you earn it. It’s the ones that don’t earn it who are society’s armpit.
