A few years ago I found a plastic box at my front door with the council logo on it. Apparently it's for glass and it's meant to go out on such and such a day at such and such a time.

And yet somehow they're providing piss-all good quality support to people who really really need it.
Where's the money going?!
Salaries, bensions and benefits.Where's the money going?!
That's the biggest problem with employing many more public sector workers than you need, but since it'll be someone else's problem in the future, politicians don't seem to want to tackle the issue.

Extraordinary prescience on my part to twig that you would be the next poster and mis-spell in your honour...IroningMan said:

They lost a court case against a group of dinner ladies that the final cost could be upto £700 million Where's the money going?!
Now as a result they are having to make all sots of cuts but one shocker I hward on the radio this morning is that the unemployed will now have to pay council tax. I can't see that ending well.
ETA They are of course blaming government cuts and failing to mention the court case and any of their own ineptitude for the problem.

Pensions (or bensions, if you have a cold) are the problem that won't go away. All those people employed in the public sector will one day retire and demand their pension, which will have to be paid for out of taxation, there's no big pension pot saved up to provide for public sector pensions, they come from the taxpayers of the day - us and our children.
That's the biggest problem with employing many more public sector workers than you need.....
That is a fair point. Which is why the number of Public Sector employees needs to be drastically reduced, quickly, to at least reduce that burden.That's the biggest problem with employing many more public sector workers than you need.....

In which planet do the public sector dream up these contracts? If they are that easy I would consider getting a public sector job, get them to sign off a huge settlement fee in the contract and then let them force me out of a job to get it.
The worst part about everything involving BCC is their complete and utter ineptitude in every discernible way.
I have had the misfortunate of dealing with them on multiple occasions and frankly each one had me banging my head against a wall in frustration.
The latest being them asking me to prove that I didn't rent a commercial property in the city centre....how the fk is one meant to do that?? Idiots.
