Sometimes its their own stupid fault.
At the station in town years ago they put automatic ticket barriers in "to see if they caught on" and kept the staff on.
Most of us tried to use the people instead but they preferred to sit reading the paper and took no notice when we pointed out that they were putting themselves out of a job because they had been told their positions were safe.
They thought it was really cushy.
Needless to say, only the machines are there now and the staff are on the dole.
Ah, but - just like the Miners - they will be able to sit around for the next 40 years telling people how their jobs were "stolen" (it will be the "evil" Boris this time, instead of the "evil" Maggie !) - and never do a single thing to improve their situation or make themselves employable !
What bollocks you talk ITK. |
