[AusRace] Long Service

[L.B.Loveday]

Sean,

 

I live in the past in some respects and I suppose it's changed, but I remember father getting a gold watch from GMH after 25 years, and that's how long I've had no boss, no subordinates, no customers and no collaborators. "Just a man and his will to…".

 

If you've not worked for the government, you'd not imagine what it can be like - here's the conditions I gave up, and I doubt it's less cushy today:

 

Tenure with Superannuation.

Salary adequate, now $109k

Hours per week, 35, BUT, night work counted at time and a half, so I did 3 x 7-10pm stints, down to 30.5 hours per week, spread out over 4 days, Wed off for mid-week races.

49 weekdays annual leave; YES, 10 weeks PA

15 days long-service accumulating leave PA

10 sick days PA.

The CEO spent 18 months trying to sack a bludging incompetent, but the union beat him and he vowed never to waste the time again.

 

LBL
