When you think of Dublin Bus, do you think it'd be a good place to work? Probably not, right? After all no one ever really seems happy driving buses? Well, think again 'cause Dublin Bus has been nominated as Employer of the Year.
In a short tweet earlier today, the humble transport service tweeted:
We’ve been shortlisted for the Employer of the Year at tonight’s @iltawards #ILTAwards pic.twitter.com/OQnItcnBxW

This is not a joke, though one person who replied to them thought so:
...yeah sure. Your employees however: shit.

It must be a bit of a kick in the guts for Bus Eireann staff who are currently striking, not to mention Dublin Bus employees might be on the verge of their own strike.
According to the Irish Times, unrest in the transport sector i.e. unhappy workers (i.e. this nomination is a load of bollocks) could extend to Dublin Bus and Iarnród Éireann.
Siptu organiser Willie Noone said members in Dublin Bus and Iarnród Éireann “believe that they are next in the firing line if management in Bus Éireann is allowed to force through cuts to wages and changes to conditions of employment of their staff”.
Yeahhh, they sound really happy, Dublin Bus.
Fingers crossed a more deserving company wins this award tonight at the ILTAs.
