Requesting transfer Clerical Officer in HSE, after being called off panel

only coming to this thread - wow you seem like you may be most well balanced person in the world - a chip on each shoulder? firstly the qualification = type of hours rubbish and the deciding not to bother having chidren to fit into your career and suit employers?
I truely am genuinely am astonished at your views on life.

Of course Nelly,

If I (and others like me) decided to have a few children, & give up work or go part time there would be less taxes paid and less funds to subsidise all the women who do have children.

That's exactly my point. I really feel that you've hit the point there. It's all about retaining key staff members like myself.


that may be your point but the reality is that folks are in business to make money not provide people with nice jobs with wonderful perks.

as for retaining key members of staff - i think providing pension contribution to a certain % for all staff would be a better stab at retaining employees than offering mat benefits as they would apply to all, and as this seems to be the first time maternity leave has been requested

Margie - no offence but your not the first person to have state mat and not be sibsidised to the tune of your origional wages and you won't be the last.

So do you think it would be better for women to stop having children to suit their employers? What kind of person are you at all. if you didn't have 92 posts I would seriously think you were just someone on here taking the mick. :mad:

Edited

sorry it seems not to be a question of a chip on shoulder but rather the weight of world.

Nelly,

You must not be very confident in yourself making sarcastic one liner remarks. In all you have, you must not be very happy.

In spite of all that has happened to me, I remain a nice person, and I have confidence in myself. I don't feel the need to ridicule other peoples choices, yet you and other posters have ridiculed my choices.

I question if you actually are confident, because if you are/were there seems to be no reason why with your qualifications (a qualified accountant ?) that you should not be earning a much higher wage right after conferring- unless you did not ask for it or want to go out and set up your own business etc.

not your choices but the thought process involved in coming to them.

This is getting out of hand.

The original question(s), no matter how fanciful or whatever related to choices/options for hours of work. These queries have become lost in various tangents.

Ostensibly, I don't think it is extraordinary to request alternative working hours and if it suits both employee and employer - fine.

The reasons (presumed or otherwise) for having an expectation to have this arrangement - is a different story.
