Icasa goes on strike

Staff at South Africa's telecommunications regulator recently went on strike, while others were on a "go-slow"

Oh shame... do we care?

ICASA are so useless, performance could only improve by them striking.

According to the spokesperson, staff wanted Icasa to pay their Christmas performance bonuses by the end of October.

:wtf:

 

[daveza]

How can you tell ?

If any of the dictionaries are looking for a new example for the word irony or to explain what an oxymoron is, ICASA's CWU employees going on strike / go slow to get early performance bonuses, has to be up there with military intelligence.

This is about as worrying and effective as the car guard strike.

Let the lack of public giviing-a-shiz be their wake up call as to how much they and their 'work' are resented by everyone.

 

[grok]

Anyone notice the difference?

 

[MickeyD]

A quick lesson for CWU...

This is a calendar.

You need to actually perform to qualify for a performance bonus.

The bonus can only be paid after the employee has been assessed for the entire period under review.

 

[Paul Hjul]

now now MickeyD how do we know that the CWU wants this years Christmas bonus?
for all we know they could be asking for the Christmas bonus pay due from 2011 with the unbundling of the local loop ...

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) went on strike last week (28 October – 1 November 2013), with some staff still picketing on Monday, 4 November 2013.

And we're only noticing it now?

intelligent life? none at all...

:wtf:

Some of us pay our staff in advance for the xmas bonus (so they can spend it on holiday, or gifts or what ever they care to spend it on during xmas).

 

[LazyLion]

ICASA at work....



ICASA on strike....

 

[Maverick Jester]

Don't you actually have to work, in order to be eligible to go on strike?

 

[Grep]

bonus? BONUS???

 

[AlphaBravo]

What do they do to qualify for a bonus? Don't they mean 13th cheque?

If they get a bonus, what value did they bring?

 

[noswal]

In all seriousness, who will be inconvenienced with them on strike?

 

[2026]

Now is the perfect time to release a porn channel

 

[gconey]

If they go any slower they'll be going backwards.
