When I started 22yrs ago we had 2 managers doing all the work, now we have 5 or 6 somedays and we only have 50 more staff, a few quid could be saved here I think :whistle :hmmmm

Yep my guess is in the next 5 years max, we will have a new grade OPG(S) - The (S) will stand for supervisor and he/she will be responsible for a "Team" of 5 or 6.

This, IMO, is why they are so keen on Lapsing as the OPG(S) will have to cover absences from their own "Team" .

the office would run perfectly well if 50% of our managers failed to turn up (usually 4 of them) but no way would it run if 50% of us failed to turn up. Funny how on a saturday they only need 2 managers. I say get rid of at least 1 in every office, would save a small fortune.

Who's going to take that grief for probably £30-40 exta a week?

I will answer that myself probably only those least able to do the job.

God help us. :pray :pray

We have got over 100 in our office and on more than one occasion, on a Saturday, no managers have shown up.

Everybody gets on with their job and the operation runs much smoother.

We never really ever saw a manager in our office, we could go months before we got a visit and everything just run smoothly. Now we see one at least twice a month and every time they come down its to change summat or read of a piece of paper some notice. Basically they just f**k up our office and lower moral even more. :arrrghhh

I think that having no manager(s) in any office runs more smoothly. I know from this a while back when we had no dom in for a couple of days and everyone just got on with there work with no one on there backs about performance issues, fill this out and that. Let the culling begin :whistle It's going to happen sooner or later
