Making the workers work less
My jaw hit the floor...
It's not 1st April you numpties.
Make the staff all work their allotted hours and crack down on the flexi-time abuses - do managers know or even care about the staff who go for external 'meetings' and do their weekly shop in the Co-op? Or the 2pm meetings on Friday which mean that the staff don't come back until Monday? Or the 30 minute lunch break courtesy of a friend swiping their pass?
There are very many excellent staff in the Comhairle and then there are those promoted well above their ability who sit there and draw a fat salary, accrue a fat pension, and contribute f'all. And their subordinates now them only too well.
Volunteers will be sought from among staff at Western Isles Council to work fewer hours to help the authority save millions of pounds.Are the Councillors that blind and insane as to think that this will do anything but allow the overpaid and under worked to take a holiday at the expense of the overworked and underpaid?

Many of them could halve their paid working hours and productivity wouldn't change one bit.
Your reference ?
You need some more practice with the highlighter...
Some of them will be more than happy to do less work.
Single Status for many CnES employees introduced a working week which increased by two hours each week for no extra payment (ie another two weeks each year to work), withdrawal of essential users' car allowance, loss of two days public hols, and for some out- of-hours staff a reduction of 66% payment (recompense now of 0.76p per hour before tax).
Knocking CnES employees is becoming a hobby for some ... the less enlightened, who are oblivious to the work pressures many public sector employees are experiencing.
The impact on front-line services is already apparent and likely soon to become more severe.
Gi'e's a break!

You can't do that.....they will need a generous package to compensate for a change in working conditions.
how much will we save by doing away with the 'distant islands allowance'?
Why don't we just sack everyone in a job and evacuate the island - let us end all petty jealousy in a oner.
There is FA community spirit on show here - perhaps we could do better in Wester Ross!
Lochinver, here we come!
No ferries and no more islands allowance!
