Work grievances


NeilMorepies said:
I’ve been on probation for three years now. The old guy I was supposed to be taking over from STILL hasn’t retired and has one illness after the other so can barely do the job.
They have been getting someone in from another dept to do his work for him, while I just get lumped with more and more pointless “training” exercises.
The last straw is this year they have increased the old guys contract yet again and are going to hire someone else to do his job instead of me. I’m getting to the point when I’m thinking of moving back to Glasgow and trying to get my old job back.

That first sentence might need re-working.

If he had, he’s the sort of rotter that would leave the empty bag as evidence on someone else’s desk.

He carry’s on about him and his mates and their shenanigans as if they’re out on the bevy and up to no good every weekend when the reality is he lives in a massive house (constantly on about the size of his back garden), plays golf every weekend and has it about as rough as Prince Harry.
Also goes to watch Crystal Palace a bit and makes out he’s a low key hooligan, probobly because he swore at an opposition player.
He leads a privileged life but makes out he’s from the the equivalent of 1980s bronx.

WOAH WOAH WOAH!!
 
No work grievances from me, the Palace fan I mentioned in the work enemies thread ended up not getting his contract renewed, so that was a win.

My job mostly consists of cleaning up permanent staff mistakes, without them I wouldn’t get my contract renewed so I can’t complain too much.

It is crazy how much people get away with doing nothing on a regular basis, though.

A place to get all work related frustrations off your chest, bosses, colleagues, practices, anything that causes you to ponder the meaning of your existence etc.

I work with a guy who thinks he if far smarter than he actually is, has worked where I currently am for 20 years or so, so knows very little outside of the narrow band of requirements for repeating his job over and over again in the same environment.
His MO when faced with being seen to have messed up or even when he feels the need to distance himself from a potential cock up, is to go straight on the attack, throw stones in all directions and tell everyone else how they should be doing their job.
Drives me up the wall, he’s also very loud and has too much to say in team meeting, and generally uses terminology, phases or acronyms solely to make himself sound more useful than he is.
He’s from a rough part of London so plays on this self appointed image of growing up on the mean streets despite him now being very wealthy, and I suspect if he actually found himself in a tricky situation he would soil his kecks.

Just smack him mate x
 
I generally don’t get into any bother at work. Keep my head down and crack on. But I’ve heard horror stories from friends and seen colleagues go through nonsense at work so I have actually joined the union. For the sake or £17 a month or something it gives me some security should I ever need their help.

I’d reccomend.
 
Haha the last few work threads always transitioned into unknown employees having an angry sh*t all over the cubicles at work.

When I worked at HMV on Grafton st in Dublin, about 25yr ago now we used to take on loads of seasonal staff at summer then again at Xmas.

One time we had somebody who wrote Fxxk HMV in faeces on the wall, and everybody suspected this one dude. The manager stood up at a team meeting and said if he finds out who Poocasso he'll be out the door. The guy didn't come back next day, so was deffo him.

I wonder how his art career is going now

This is my missus`s current boss ( NHS )

She was in charge of all the leave in the dept, inc her own.

She wasn`t recording at least 40% of the leave she took and virtually worked a four day week for years.

UNTIL, my missus went through the leave records with a fine tooth comb and anonymously grassed her up to the boss above.

Net result, she had to pay back all the leave she`d " stolen " in the form of a monthly wage deduction and the leave roster was taken off her and given to the boss above her.

She should`ve been sacked really, as she`d been doing it for a decade, but the records only went back for a year.

Good.
 
Are Crystal Palace the natural enemies of Evertonians?
