Old fat and slow
With an ageing work force ,increasing work loads, pressurising hardcore managers and red bull boys,what are they going to do with us old fat slow boys, who still manage to get round with our dodgy knees twisted spines, gout, hernias, shin splints and other countless medical conditions that keep the red bull boys amused. I often wonder if they will ever see the folly of there ways and we will see the end of RM

I saw the headline and thought, aha here's someone who knows me.

"We employ you so we can sack you"

Re: Old fat and slow
Is it just me or is it a coincidence, in our office the last 4 new starters are all fit young lads in their twenties, got paired up with one on my reg p&l partners last holiday, (who is knocking on a bit like me, dodgy knees,back etc.) enjoyed working with him was a pleasant lad had a bit of a laugh but although I thought I wasn't that bad I just couldn't keep up, he was practically jogging compared to me.
Perhaps its the future although when I started 10 years ago I expected to and still do to see the job out till retirement, cant see it being much fun for either of us though if I get paired up with a 20 year old in a few years when I'm in my fifties/sixties !

Re: Old fat and slow
The Red Bull Boys are killing the job in a hour and half before their start time, no break, running around like loon pots that's 2 hours 10 mins a day = 13 hours a week giving RM approx £160 a week where the Old Fat Slow lads are chilling finishing a hour before their time everyday gaining 6 hours a week approx £60 gained. Red Bull Boys keep running! That reminds me must book the circus tickets the kids want to see the clowns!

Re: Old fat and slow
That's an easy one to answer mate. Medically retire you.

Happened to me.
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?

If you were in my office, the DOM would tell you to lose some weight and go faster.
