Management IA - what would you do?
This is just a hypothetical question, but if RM come down hard on management costs, and start a cull, and ( just assume ) the CMA/Unite grow a pair and hold a ballot for strike action.....would you support your lineos and their action, or would you flick them the vicky and grin a s**t eating "I told you so" grin?
For the record, I'd comiserate with a couple, bot for one or two others, I'd be giving hand signals so hard my wrists could fall off!

I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Trouble is the better ones will probably be culled and we'll be left with the bullying @ssholes.

Re: Management IA - what would you do?
I fear you may be right.....but if they want to force mgrs out ( and cheaply ) they could pay attention to B&H grievences, and they wouldn't have to trump up the charges ( unlike many opgs sacked for sick & conduct )baldrick wrote:Trouble is the better ones will probably be culled and we'll be left with the bullying @ssholes.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Re: Management IA - what would you do?
The irony is with my experience of management culls - they throw money at it as they don't want disgruntled , twisted managers with massive chips on their shoulders going to Tribunals / the press etc and spilling the beans , wrong but ....... - it's most firm's - worst nightmare scenariosmokerjim wrote:I fear you may be right.....but if they want to force mgrs out ( and cheaply ) they could pay attention to B&H grievences, and they wouldn't have to trump up the charges ( unlike many opgs sacked for sick & conduct )baldrick wrote:Trouble is the better ones will probably be culled and we'll be left with the bullying @ssholes.
Even seen " redundant " managerial staff brought back as " consultants "

Re: Management IA - what would you do?
I for one would not cross their picket line ......... i don't cross anyone's picket line
But i would stand in front of their line and give them a 10 minute rant. A few home truths never hurt anybody eh ?

If I was a DOM I wouldn't go on strike because just how little a DOM does will be highlighted. If they do though I would not support them, I doubt that many are in their union anyway

Quite agree, our office always runs the smoothest when the DOMS not there. They could strike indefinetly and it would make bugger all differencepiranha wrote:If I was a DOM I wouldn't go on strike because just how little a DOM does will be highlighted.
