I have to share your sentiments the public sector had it good and now theres no money left they cant stand the thought of having to cut back like most of us in the Private Sector...
I always bleat one thing - its your choice - everyone chooses their jobs they dont have to do that - they could try and get a job in a private school or college or university etc etc I know cross training to another career can be difficult but if I was a teacher here of English I think I'd setup something in a country where people want to move to an English speaking country like the Phills
enough said me think...
