PeteMorris Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yes, this is my point that governments in general waste most of the money they collect in taxes, so surely a more efficient government that makes cuts is actually a good thing. Regardless of who you blame for the recession, we have to accept that no government can pay out more money than it brings in in the long term so cutting services and jobs that are no longer needed makes sense. You mean like the qwango's they've just closed, and made everyone redundant, with huge severance payouts. Then immediately created a new one and reinstated those they've just made redundant? Makes perfect sense I suppose! See this thread! http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1020438 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMorris Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Since when has Sunderland CC been a quango? Is Hereford Enterprise Zone a quango? Genuine questions.... I don't really have a clue. I just know that it seems an awful waste of money. I expect it's not an isolated occurence either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMorris Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 What's a waste of money? If you think it's fine to make huge redundancy payments and then walk into a similar role the next day then that's fine, I'm not going to argue with you. You're simply nitpicking! I strongly suspect the OP was only being sensationalist anyway. I think someone said 'trolling'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're simply nitpicking! I strongly suspect the OP was only being sensationalist anyway. I think someone said 'trolling'. I'm not nitpicking.. you said it was a waste of money I asked what was..If their contracts determine the redundancy pay (negotiated with whoever employed them ..Labour?) then I don't see a problem..if they didn't pay it then the resulting court case would no doubt be more expensive..the fact that they obtained employment somewhere else afterwards is irrelevant..or do you think that anyone paid redundancy shouldn't be eligible for other work ..? It happens in other walks of life..I've known quite a few people in my industry do the same..given a month's notice of redundancy and got themselves another job to start the day after the notice period ...

I can't be bothered to argue the point. You think it's perfectly acceptable, and no matter what I say, you'll continue to discredit my argument. Lets just agree to disagree, and leave it there. It's off topic anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's perfectly acceptable that contracts should be adhered to by both sides.. don't you? is the the 5 minute argument or the full half hour?
