In the horrible real world people have to do things like accept some flexibility in times of strife, be prepared to move on if need be, react to the possibility of redundancy, etc.
That you seem to think this is somehow my 'ideal' world is, well, confusing. It's not an ideal world, it's at times a pretty harsh one, but it's the one most of the private sector live in, it's the one I've always worked in.

I thought we had moved on from Victorian work ethics but I must be mistaken. A suppose a lot depends on your view of work, work to live or live to work. I have also worked in the private sector (except when PO telephones was government owned) most of my working life but in recent years I have a seen a steady decline in front line workers conditions, less staff, increased pressure usually resulting in a deteriorating customer experience, but management are not interested in that, only their profit margins. Therefore I am happy for those that can still make a stand against aggressive management, a luxury a few of us have in the private sector. One thing I have learnt is that your are just a statistic whatever your skills.
Right, I'm off to sell my copies of the Morning Star.
