Never mind Library Assistants, I'm sure there are many Chartered Librarians
in that range too for all sorts of reasons personal, family commitments
inability to move geographically etc.
I'm sure the poster meant no offence to possible applicants only those who
set salaries at such low levels and then expect the earth!

I don't know - isn't it inherently offensive to suggest that people who earn
and are willing to accept £14,094 - £16,087 p.a. likely can't 'string a
sentence together'? As is the suggestion that salary is an indication of
ability/intelligence? However, I'm sure the poster didn't mean to offend.
This discussion is worthwhile if it makes people examine their assumptions
about the staff they manage. Also, Deborah Shorley suggested at Umbrella
that our obsession with job titles and salaries impedes our progress as a
profession and I think this thread illustrates her point well.
In my experience a lot of library assistants are in that salary range and
are more than capable of expressing themselves well and going on to greater
things.
Just my 2p

John wasn't being rude or sarcastic about anyone in particular, so I don't
think point 4 applies!
There are often strings that are of no interest to me and I find a waste of
time, so I just delete them.
I have found this string all very amusing, but my personal interpretation
sees it as a rueful expression of a general irritation amongst health
librarians, NHS in particular, at some of the changes being inflicted upon
the profession and services, (not to mention our way of life) not always for
the better!
