Don't get me wrong, he's happy to do so as it means he gets to choose his equipment. I was just pointing out that not everyone is supplied with what they need to do their job by their employer. He can claim the cost of buying tools and equipment off his tax. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pry tbh since he's a big boy that can look after himself. I buy myself pens about once a year, so I might look into that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t keep a chainsaw in my pocket, but then again I’m not a professional lumberjack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmen Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Convinced the image of the public sector as full of workshy lazy b*****ds comes from people who've never been in a unionised workforce & view working flat out all day under the stern gaze of a boss as normal. Hardly surprising when the papers are full of the usual militant unions chat about teachers.No at all, this image is coming from my own experience working there. Had one guy where if worked half as much as he did avoiding work he’d have been great. Not saying everyone is like that but the ones on my wives team really take the piss and despite her having numerous chats with HR and senior management about performance plans etc they are ignored as they can’t upset them. The lockdown has just exasperated it.I left to work in a non unionised work place and neither is my current place and they are far better than the civil service, far more relaxed too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
