What do you do at night?

I certainly wouldn't be a teacher. Relatively shit pay/conditions, tough to get a permanent job anywhere that you'd want to live, boring work, and very few opportunities for advancement.

However, one burden they do not suffer from is working hard.

Yeah they don't work anywhere near as hard as you do in the field that I don't know and probably haven't worked in.

Public servants in general are pretty delusional about what 'hard work' is. The lack of commercial imperative is great for work/life balance.

I normally go to a club hoping to meet someone who really loves me. After standing by myself for a bit I leaving on my own I go home to cry and wish that I died.

I'm a teacher. I work all night.

A teacher that does nite shift?

Could be a TAFE teacher.

 

[bombersfan4000]

Do you eat at night or what?

Get drunk & speak shit when in camp or not out at work play poker and get drunk, the Mrs usually just watches tv or we go for the odd date night

So an ex tradie tafe teacher doing OT because you only have the diploma not the degree earnings extra $

Probably going on about the marking of tests and shit. They may have a shitload of marking and lesson planning but that's what the 14 weeks off are for.

I reckon they'd get sacked if they were marking tests and writing reports in the summer holidays.

People don't think teachers work hard?

Everyone: Your job is no no where near as hard as mine.

They don't. Glorified babysitters.

Tell that to the teachers in the KGB.

Yes, I work far harder than most - as I sit here during work hours posting on an Internet forum...

Lol, I work in a public hospital on a salary. Theres no 'commercial imperative' for us, but the ED is still full and the hospital still bed blocked.

Not trying to compete at all, but people outside the corporate sector often still work hard for far lower wages.

Didn't know Joe Daniher had his own emoticon on here.

Review ManWithNoName Twitter posts from the day and get my laugh on.

No disputing that the money is pretty poor, but the volume of work and expected overtime pales in comparison to the private sector. Has a lot to do with the near-inability to get sacked for pretty much anything short of criminal behaviour, which in turn is closely linked to the lack of a profit motive. Unproductive staff thrive.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Think of ways to get out of work the next morning.

There is a difference between state government department public servants and nurses, doctors, teachers etc etc on the front line of service delivery to the community. As a member of the second group (not a teacher) we have lots and lots of work to do with no commercial imperative.
