so...what we're saying is that as soon as we get our first job, our employers effectively have control over the whole of our lives...oh, thats ok then. for less then ?300 a week take home, and spending 40 hours actually doing work [making a profit for the company], they can dictate what we do in the rest of our time?? this attitude is appalling!
in other countries in Europe, where i've worked, it would be laughed at.
do we live , only to work...like worker ants and drone bees...belonging to our employers...and with this attitiude, whats next?
drug test students, because of course whats the point of letting people go to college if they are going to smoke dope and drink instead of LEARN stuff...and then, test school kids, of course, for their own safety...God Grief people...where is the spirit of freedom. dissent, liberty??
if we dont resist this nonsense we dont deserve freedom.
i dont live to work....i work to get money so i can enjoy my life [actually, not centred around drugs anyway, despite earlier postings..they were attempts at levity, ok...], but around surfing and trying to fiind my next job...as for the pay issue, i was on nearly 3 times the cash i get here, in Ireland, and the attitudes of employers much more relaxed about these things and the whole 'little minded work head types' were treated with the contempt they deserved...especially the english ones who just dont seem to 'get it', at all....Jaysus....i pity you!
and before somebody says 'well, go back to ireland then'...i damn well will as soon as the recession is over....[pause for hollow laughter...]
