Another busy day. Another technicians' meeting, this time at KB. It's interesting to see that we all have the same issues, some more so than others: lack of career progression, job regrading and ensuring that knowledge get passed on to new people. Fixing all these issues simply costs money. And I guess that's precisely where the problem is. On the scale of things, I am not unhappy about my grade, but I am unhappy about the lack of decent pay rises. According to our union we lost about 15 to 20% to inflation over the last decade. The other issue is that it is difficult to employ new people.

The image reminds me of a film I saw as a kid that deeply impressed me. If I remember correctly, it featured an Aztec kid that had to do some task (maybe a race) against time which was measured by the sun moving over a channel filled with gold.
