If you go as temp or contract though you may lose out, same as if you go into the private sector.

LIKE OMG!? How can that be right?! I'm moving within the same country, so surely that's just plain wrong! ARGHHHH LOL

My 21 staff (mostly Aussie) employees had no sick leave, as soon as they accrued a day or so... they strangely were struck down with yet another case of gastro..... does that sound racist?
