Have Your Say results

[Sharkeyes]

Regarding DOMS, there are good and bad every where. I've been in this job for 22 years and I've come across many. Some who have risen through the ranks are real down to to earth people. They are the ones who haven't forgotten that bosses are there to HELP YOU GET THE JOB DONE. They will go that extra mile to help you do it. Then there ae ex union reps who make bloody awful career changes and change into monsters overnight. Then there are the total intelligence defficient idiots with no qualifications or peope management skills who just want power at any cost. These are the twits that cause walkouts over trivial situations because they are piss poor at managing anything. You tend to find that they have a relative or some good mate who put them there, as a tool, literally to cause trouble. This is the only job I know where a chimpanzee with no GCSE's could be put in charge of running a hundred staff. I've seen them come and seen them go. We're the real idiots because we're still here!

Bullying produces bullies. I don't have alot of respect for most RM management that I have come across but I can kinda understand why they are how they are. All along the chain of command bullying and harrassment is being passed downwards. Linos get crap from Doms, Doms get crap from thier superiors, etc. What stands out to me are the few good managers that are about, the ones that do buck the trend and say no when thier superiors are being dicks. We only have one in our office who does that and he's a decent guy he really is, just a shame he's in the minority. You should give credit where its due if you are lucky enough to find a good one, and judge them by what they do rather than by thier job title!

There was also a temporary lino that help me alot when I started, if it wasn't for him I may have quit long ago. Not quite sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing as I may have been better off leaving and finding a proper job when I still had the energy to do so? Either way his heart was in the right place, and yet many would condemn him for just being a lino, which in this case at least would have been wrong!

Do me a favour Arty...change your avatar...it isn't very funny.

No problem. As soon as an administrator asks. Enjoy your tea.

I think he meant from the tone of your placatory managerial stance the swastika was inappropriate, then perhaps you enjoy heel clicking in the prescence of your leader

It doesn't really matter how decent a manager is... you can never really trust them because at some point they will have to choose a side and they will,quite sensibly choose the side that pays their mortgage.

We had our results in a couple of weeks ago, and I've never seen such damning comments from virtually everyone in the office, mainly about our DOM. Nice bloke but an incompetant idiot. They are so bad he didn't even post them or discuss them. Just put them in a drawer in his desk. (should have locked it!!) If I was in senior RM management, I'd be seriously worried by HYS results like this. But of course, it's just window dressing. They never do anything about it.

Whats 'have your say' , Is it like that mythical beast called 'first line fix' !!!
Not seen or heard of either for years !

For the second time in a row we've had a senior person from the office who sends out the HYS (the actual person in chrage wouldn't come down again after she got ripped apart the last time), they came up with the best excuse I've ever heard (and yet another reason why RM is in the crap it's in now) - and his quote was 'We just ignored all the previous ones but we won't this time' Fills us with confidence


PS. Still nobody filled them in and I believe that nobody should fill them in again because they are not worth the paper they're written on.

PPS. If you want to vent about your office then you may as well do it on here so that a few more people can read the comments (and all those witty comment don't go to waste ).

Its a bit like those rare "lesser spotted" birds people talk about.

Yes I have yet to see the Lesser Spotted Manager after 1100am on a Saturday.
