Andrew65 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The 120 are trying out inactive posts, its a good intro to life on the Thai civil service sector. Yes, but think about it, more inactive posts mean more vacancies for active posts, so everyone's a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 has to be true because he said so but the jobs were bullsh*t, really makes a lot of sense, you rip people off but give them your real name and where you work so they can find you. Just goes to show how pathetic some people are when they try to use crap like this as ammunition to attack the govt, certainly shows us their lack of intelligence, if they have any in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lujanit Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The cops probably charged each person who filed a complaint 20 baht. Not uncommon at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtomtom69 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 "and charged each applicant 150 baht for the job application." Love it. Well looks like he was the only one who got the job. For each person that applied, he enriched himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 "and charged each applicant 150 baht for the job application." Love it. You might love it, they don't, 150 baht is half a days pay, if they can find work that is, why else do you think so many people showed up to protest.
