CSIRO plans to slash jobs.

CSIRO plans to slash jobs. :

"'We'll be talking to the organisation about that over the next month, seeing whether that's possible, seeing what the challenges are if we have to move in that direction and we won't be taking a final position on this until the end of November,' he said."

Yes, talking is the thing because in certain respects we have increased the number of executive positions as the expense of "workers" and thereby not only increased salaries and paperwork. This is not just a CSIRO problem. Some executives are being paid high wages but are actually doing clerical and clerical assistant work. This is not good financial management. We do need to sit and look at how companies and organisations are structured because we have been through many changes and executive and administrative positions were created specifically to manage these changes and then the actual working positions were cut back. So at the bottom end most people are working too hard and in the middle most people are working with inappropriate tasks but a lot of money and the top end again are usually over worked. We seem to have lost those small jobs and easy tasks which used to be the jobs of young ones coming in or someone who just wanted something straight forward to make ends meet or for a specific project at home. By dispensing with those clerical assistant type positions we have been paying others too much and then messing up their job by putting in too much paper work . So yes, let's sit down and get some sense into this and some real work back into jobs instead of paper shuffling. In that way the jobs may not be sacrificed but we shall go back to tiered jobs which seem to be missing.
