Rumoured Signings and General Dribble XIII

[Poupou Escobar]

Not if you're in Canberra. It is nothing for 19-20 year olds with one year of work experience straight out of school to be on $60-65k a year. A fair proportion of 25 year olds are on close to or above $100k as well.

That's because those merkins have to work; not throw a footy around and train in the gym for five hours a day.

$50k is plenty for a person with no financial commitments; especially if there's a chance of earning several million dollars over the next 10-15 years.

If they are in the public service then yes they would be - but in saying that a lot a graduates who have spent a few years at uni. If they weren't graduates they would be struggling to get anything higher then an Aps 4 job which out any experience. If they were an apprentice they wouldn't be on any where near earning $50 k. But yeah I know wages in Canberra are crazy - I know from experience.

But in general getting paid $50k plus match payments is more then enough for a younger player to be able to focus on their footy. Most sports people pursue their choosen sport at an elite level fulltime on a lot less.

Mate, APS3's 4's are getting $65K these days...

Well they have to 'go to work'. Actually 'having to work'...well that's still debateable.

Of course nobody employed by the government actually does much work - there is always far more people than is required to do what needs to be done. But it is labour intensive, having to jump through all the hoops to constantly reaffirm what a progressive workplace the government bureaucracy is.

There just isn't time left over for much work.

Yep...Ive been there done that far too many times than I like to admit.

It did if they ruptured their ACL in a trial match.

Nah - they were also pouring drinks at Wenty Leagues.

Even for just 2 shifts a week they'd make something like $15k in the year.

I tend to disagree - maybe some areas/regions ( cough Canberra ) don't have much work but there are plenty that do work extremely hard and have quite a bit of responsibility compared to their wage.

Fair enough but it does depend on the department, 3's I know of get paid in the $50-60 k range.

From my experience it depends where you are based ( in Canberra or anywhere else)

Very few unqualified entry level jobs in the 'real world' will pay you $50-60K as a starting pay

I'll admit from my experience people in general seem to do a bit of work in the public service outside of Canberra, mostly in the other capitals.

I can give you the tip now that at the moment there are 1000s of people in Canberra who have rocked up to work every day since the Election, but are yet to do an hours work in total in all that time.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Probably waiting to see if they're still going to have their cushy, unnecessary jobs.

True, but I think the bigger problem is the inability to get rid of lazy f**kwits, and in fact the way those f**kwits find themselves getting promoted by virtue of hanging around (I think the public servants and the CPSU call it 'seniority'). On the flip side, I know several highly skilled and professionally qualified people in the service who've done nothing but work their arse off for the past few years, and when the crunch comes, these are the people that the service will lose not the lazy arse self-entitled f**kwits who think that being able to copy a column from Excel into Word is a 'skill'.

Pou, do you actually have a job. You spend so much time online you would have to be self employed, surely you are not doing all of these posts on an employers time - ,that sounds too much like a Govt. employee.

Everyone wants the good gear

Of course it's Saturday. I was referring to the amount of time online everyday.
