Spied on

How far can. A manager go?

When guys can't get jobs done, are they allowed to sit, watch and intimidate?

Contact the DSM.
DSMs love to make savings and managers sitting about with f**k all to do are an obvious waste of money.
It's your duty in the spirit of business transformation and the ethos of World Class Mail to flag up waste wherever you see it.

Tell him his managers are sitting making goo goo eyes at your members.
Tell him although your members are a diverse bunch and comfortable with their sexuality it's putting them off their cheese and pickles.
Alternatively you could just tell the managers to stop acting like knobs.

I tried the latter and got the usual

"No harm if nothing to hide" spiel

It's when we are being questioned on why we are not completing

Err hello the planning tools are obviously incompetent

That's a stupid question from management that doesn't even warrant an answer.
So tell your members not to attempt to give one.
If they want to find out why a duty can't be completed point them in the direction of the delivery and let them find out.
There are no outdoor standards applicable to an individual member...end of argument.

So there are no outdoor standards an individual has to meet right, so what warrants a number of managers patrolling, sitting, watching and then making comments in the do?

Is that in writing anywhere on any agreement?

Stop for a cig.( or a sarnie - choc bar - rest). It's part of your break (just make sure you deduct it). No problems

Ask him to put it in writing.......then get the tortoise to file a grievance.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
