UK aims for a million green collar workers
I just hope the jobs being aimed at are mostly productive and not parasitic.
Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.

Comments are now closed... no wonder!
Becuase I doubt I was the first poised to hit the keyboard!
Should you 'green' your CV?
What pure, unadulterated tripe dressed up under a question about an issue, even if mocking. Good job it's not April 1. But I still think the author has tongue well in cheek.
Shame the moderators did not see fit to let the thread even start, let alone run.
At least fish4PR got what it needed out of a 'survey'.

TUPE, brutal
That* has to get a credit from The Sun Sub-editor's subhead sisterhood.
However, I refer to a little bit of employment law that I was aware of but had not until now fully understood for the 'latest idiocy that may explain a lot': TUPE law sets off new alarm bells
No reason at all that the ad profession should not have the same protections as the rest of society, but it beggars belief that in a pitch for new business, the winner has to inherit the bozos from the losing side (who presumably were the reason for the pitch being needed - admitting it is often just down to Marketing Director insecurity/vanity).
At least it closes the loop. You can't fire anyone any more. And now you can't get rid of them by ditching their employers either. Now that's how to stay competitive.
* Ok, it's a stretch. Think Caesar's last words.
