Weary personnel getting stick for raising standards (9)
I believe the answer is:
flagstaff
'stick for raising standards' is the definition.
(standard can mean a flag)
'weary personnel getting' is the wordplay.
'weary' becomes 'flag' (both can mean to tire).
'personnel' becomes 'staff' (staff is a kind of personnel).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'flag'+'staff'='FLAGSTAFF'
(Other definitions for flagstaff that I've seen before include "Pole for the standard" , "supporter of Jack?)" , "Jack may be seen here" , "Arizona city" , "somewhere in Arizona" .)
