They just don't work hard enough.
Worse than that, the lazy bastards only carry a small bundle around with them - and that takes then 4.5 hrs a day!
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Based solely on the experience i've had with management lately..it's the first one. :cuppa


This one I think FT.
No No they're definitely NOT that clever.
I agree and disagree..its not royal management that are clever but the framework we haven been given to work within is no accident and is designed to force privatisation upon us...is there any word of changes to the DSA fiasco? because until that happens the more DSA we deliver the more money we lose :dcfo
