CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

LP, this argument seems to be escaping you, which is ironic given you bleat about the AFL pigs feeding at the trough.

I think that's a huge stretch to associate Matrons climbing the career ladder with AFL Past Players getting jobs for the boys.

I've a relative who was a "Matron" and became a senior business manager at a major Melbourne Metro hospital, it was a 24x7 job overloaded with bureaucracy and a continual ongoing battle against bean counters putting profit before health care. Business hours, after hours, weekends, holidays, while in transit, 24x7 it never stopped, there was never any clocking off. Her priority was to preserve the level of care, first and foremost, that is the function of hospitals, not creating jobs, not creating profits, not paying bonusses or dividends.

In my opinion she could have left health and earned far more doing a far easier job in corporate or industrial circles, so I've nothing but admiration for those who do this type of work with a relatively extreme workload and usually at far less remuneration than some suited up bureaucrat or executive bean counter.
