ONE TO ONE (INTERVIEWS)

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Ah.Ha..so they are doing the usual of trying to poach you for the Dark Side--funny how many Union chaps walk down this road!!!

Not me I wear my "awkward squad" badge with pride.

I take it that one to ones are for people that have had sickies.

No nothing to do with sickness more to do with What T.B.T said although i did not know the precise questions they would be asking!.

The one-to-ones are designed for the managers to put over the company line because people are less likely to stand up for themselves if they're isolated but with the useless management we have it usually has the opposite affect.

Had one about a year ago. All it involved was asking how I was, did I enjoy the job, was I looking to progress in RM, did I want to be a manager, would I be interested in more training.

1. OK not bad
2. Yes to the Outdoor part and No to the Indoor.
3. Yes
4. No.
5. Yes if it had bearing on job or CWU.

But as people have stated don't go in without rep/witness.

Thanks T.B.T as always you have all the answers too most of all the questions we put on here!. Another question are their any questions in these ONE TO ONE's about the interviewees competence or attitude to the job?.

Not in mine - TBH I think it was a management tick the boxes exercise rather than anything else. Of course there is always the chance that they may ask other things but always take your rep or a witness in with you, just in case they have changed the questions since mine, or if the manager is acting on instructions from on high.

I once refused to sign mine as the gaffer at the time was suggesting it was not a legitimate sick absence.

Told him where he could stick it.

I refuse to sign anything that the manager asks , it really pisses him off :cfo
