Managers disappearing into thin air !

Post by andyseniorman »

Our DOM didn't turn up on Thursday and Friday, and his guvnor went sick. That left us with no one to put in our O/T for Friday 24th extended and all last weeks O/T and SA not been put on system. Piss take!!!
Lucky we have 75% office who have no balls and brains, or no mail would have got delivered on Friday 31st.
Could the managers have been abducted by aliens ? :crazy:

Just out of curiosity, how many days passed before you realized that they weren't there?

Same in my MC. Usually there's a surplus of managers standing around chatting with each other.
Last week when the office was swamped with mail most of them seem to have vanished.
I'm assuming they all managed to get leave at the busiest time of the year, when OPGs can't.
Did they know it was going to be chaos and decide to avoid it? :hmmmm

Didn't really make any difference though as we just got on with it.
