DLR staff to pocket up to £2,500 for Olympics....
Discussion
My mate currently work for a LA outside London - they require people with the experience he has to work at the Olympics so. they offered loads of secondments for LA workers working outside of London to go and work during the Olympics - no doubt they will literally be bleeding money on staff.

I thought the DLR trains are computer driven and there are no drivers on board!
That's the point. This money is going to the people who are not locked away in a cushy little cabin doing the same thing they do every day but to people who will be having to deal with the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of people who have no idea where they are going and cannot speak English. There are drivers for the DLR and I suspect at these peak times they will stick them on the trains, I don't know.
I think it is a very good deal.
I wouldn't pay tube drivers anything though as their job doesn't actually change whether there is one person traveling or a million.
there will be millions of extra travel movements, tons of complaints, some genuine, some falsified to cover for the passengers incomepetence, thousands of people asking for directions, thousands of people in the wrong place desperate to get to an event wanting immediate assitance and they will all direct their own failure to plan ahead at the man on the platform...
just £2500 for nine weeks of abuse?... i'd have held out for much more....

Screw them. There are thousands who would have done their easy job for less, they are holding the government to ransom and we should have called their bluff. Everyone else in life has busy periods and we deal with it or do another job. anonymous said:

Exactly, in a country with record unemployment figures being thrown about anyone who moans about having to do their job a bit harder can f
k off. As an employer I know how easy it is to find other people, I have a pile of speculative applications in my desk and many of them are better qualified than the staff I have. anonymous said:

of course its bks, because you say so and thus you dont need to justify your argument, you should be a politican you'd go far...
no, really, present your argument which doesnt come across like a petty childish whine... In reality you're just jealous because when you work a bit harder, for a bit longer, you dont pocket any extra cash...
i guess you can sympathise with the DLR staff though, at Argos you must get sick of peoples incompetence and daily abuse from customers ...

And if I was your boss, I would have sacked you, and employed someone why had some pride in doing a good job rather that an opportunist greedy mercenary disloyal worker, I very much hope DLR and TFL get their own back over the next few years.just £2500 for nine weeks of abuse?... i'd have held out for much more....

EF PH AOdd how we seem to laud grasping at the top of the salary tree, but seem oddly ill-disposed towards it at the other end of the spectrum.

This, they are paid to do a job. What a nonsence getting such a bonus because for a week they have to work a bit harder. They will not have to deal with any more stupidity than the average minimum wage customer service/Mcdonalds drone.
