QUOTE (Strafin @ Jul 19 2010, 09:58 PM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) Because I hate it when WBC office workers and administrators (who are, in my opinion useless) try and take credit for everyone elses hard work by implying that they too should be included in the legions of teachers and social workers when praise is on offer. Care to expand on this sweeping statement?

Are you going to tell us all what you do for a living? QUOTE (Strafin @ Jul 20 2010, 06:42 PM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) Exactly he says I'm a social worker first. Suprisingly he then adds on WBC I would have thought he would only do this when questioned but not everyone's the same. My comments are based solely on my experiences and I stand by them. Doesn't everyone do this, right from "I work on the checkouts at Tesco", to "I'm a Director at Vodafone". I wouldn't find it surprising in the least for someone to name the organisation they work for after their role. I would have though that those who work for the council would be proud to be putting something back into their community even if it meant a slightly lower standard of living for themselves, so would be even more likely to mention it.

How does a receptionist, customer service rep or accountant put something back into the community? Are you again trying to imply that WBC pay less than other employers because they don't. I take on board what you are saying about mentioning your employer, but people who work for Primark (for example) wouldn't say I'm a sales assistant for Associated British Foods.
