Geoff you make everyone in the nhs sound like a bunch of lazy wasters!

Now, far be it from me to bang on and on about how private industry works but...........

Everyone who is doing even a half assed job should get the equivelent of CPI. This is required just so you stay at the same effective income level. Anything above that should be a reward for performance.

Perform poorly, get little, perform well, get more.

Easy really!

That's not my intention. But see earlier posts by others, and draw your own conclusions.

And, if I'm factually wrong in anything I've said here, please pipe up.

How about ... perform poorly, get the boot?

Dave I am with you either in Private or Public "Perform poorly, get little, perform well, get more."

See my post (above).

But sorry Neil, that's not the NHS way, is it?

Or am I wrong again, guys?

If it continues then, frankly, yes

(and yes, we do/will offer support, guidance, training. etc, etc but if push comes to shove...)

How about ... perform poorly, get the boot?, please don't apply this to the management as they usually get a huge pay-off as well as the boot.

I live in hope !!!!!

We're getting away from the original topic here, so I don't wish to reply further. And I guess my personal views on all this have been aired often enough anyway.

@Dave

Whilst not wishing to labour the point, perhaps you had better elaborate what you mean by "CPI"!
