The hype around Orcas irritates me because Orcas are just dolphins that hit puberty, joined a gang, and started cosplaying as apex predators. A 6-ton tuxedo disappointment. They harvest liver like it’s profound, organ trafficking piece of shits. We've been apex since their ancestors looked like oversized penguins. They travel in pods because they can't sit with their own thoughts. We swim solo, while they need twenty cousins to bully a seal. They attack boats now, unemployment arc. People scream when we arrive, but they say “awwwnn” when they do. Their dorsal fin looks stepped on, while ours is a warning. We survived five extinctions while they survive on PR.
@ExplosiveEnema2@drmattuk EE, with the current workforce plan/ planning, sacrificing IMGs is a band-aid.
Let’s revisit this in 2-3 years.
One thing is for sure, this turn of events has sown a seed of discord and animosity between IMG and UKG camps on a scale that we are yet to fully appreciate.
@drmattuk@ExplosiveEnema2 EE,UKGP okay. But should your IMG colleagues be sacrificed?
Current stance: Let’s not only prioritise UKG, but also make IMGs work 5 years in the NHS before “qualifying” to apply for training in “re-advert” rounds.
This is NOT exactly fair, and that is what Matt is talking about.
