would also comment that FIFO complain lots...but considering that I am currently doing teaching of IT via FIFO...

 

meh the beers are good.

I can't comment on things I'm not familiar with, but I think this is a combination of 2 things:

1) Teachers union asking for a mile to try and secure a few inches.

2) people having an expectation of hard work = high pay.

Unfortunately for teachers, there are just SO many of them. I meet a lot of young people starting their working careers and have never met a teacher who wasn't working. Everyone else struggling to secure a meaningful job for months or years while teachers somehow seem to get work, like nurses. Maybe it has to do with uni placement and making contacts?
Or is it because hospitals and schools are necessary items semi-funded by the government and don't have the pressures of global markets and investors breathing down staff's necks? Schools don't even have management, it's just administration and the principal/vice. Teaching is up to the teachers and the content/requirements are dictated by bodies outside of the schook

Flat organization hierarchy = little opportunity for career progression besides standard payrises. When a teacher gets to ten years, if they don't secure a role in admin there is no further payrise based on their experience/growth, only indexed payrises.

It comes down to unions and strength in numbers = greater leverage. Most all humans feel entitled to what they can get and would do the same shit if we all had unions telling us we can get more / are worthy of a pay rise if we band together and do x. People don't like dealing with confrontation by themselves and there is a greater risk of losing by putting your single job on the line, having to negotiate by yourself, rather than hundreds/thousands at once. Teachers, like nurses and paramedics also have a unique leverage in that an organisation can shut down because of industrial action and pick up where it left off when it finishes. Children with career parents can't be babysat easily and patients in need of care need just that.

My problem with unions is it averages out the skill level into a single representation and assumes that all of them deserve a uniform pay rise including shitkickers. If individual office workers tried to negotiate by themselves the shitkickers would get laughed out of the room. Google the "better than average effect" for interesting psych studies on teachers where most will say they are better than average when this is literally inpossible.

It just goes around in circles.. teachers.. paramedics.. fireys.. 

Agree with your birds that they shouldn't all be thrown into the same basket, the ones that are actually good at what they do deserve more $ etc.

On another note, like 50% or more of people I know starting uni or still doing it right now are studying teaching at the moment :O

Recruiter calls about a 2 week contract role in the city.. mate I want a job not some 2 week bullshit that will make me miss out on REAL job interviews over the next 2 weeks.. seriously who takes those roles? pay was nothing special either 

Then this afternoon another recruiter calls me about a potential job.. "didn't have a chance to fully read your CV" but do you have experience in X and Y? no and no.. cya.

I'll now return to play some CS, dota 2 or wow on rotation. fml.. hopefully tomorrows interview goes good

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
