| Little Johnny gets Tasmanian woman pink slip | |
Little Johnny's new IR laws are off to a good start, according to an ABC report
A woman, known only as Elizabeth, says she was sacked after working at a
small Tasmanian sports club for 10 years.
Funny, most people have two names, but they do many things differently in Tasmania.
Elizabeth says she had fallen behind in her job after doing the work of
two people since a colleague resigned.
Excellent! She was almost doing the work of two people, which means they are
going to have to employ two people to replace her. One person loses a job, two
people gain a job, net gain: one job. Little Johnny's IR laws have created
their first job! There is a catch though. Clearly there is an unemployed Tasmanian wandering
around whose productivity is nearly twice that of the average worker, and who
only expects a standard wage. A greedy capitalist employer's wet dream!
Unfortunately all those greedy capitalists are unable to find her because the
ABC only identified her as 'Elizabeth'. Every Tasmanian Elizabeth is probably
fighting of job offers as you read this. 'no, sorry, it's not me, I'm just
the garden-variety Elizabeth who takes extended smoking breaks and does her
nails in company time'. But it won't be long before the real Elizabeth is tracked down, and is once
again placed in useful and productive employment. .. assuming of course that employers believe that bastion of fair and
objective reporting the Australian
Broadcasting Commission. And why wouldn't they?
