Should we be worried?

Post by happyhippo »

at our office for the past few months we have been lapsing everyday even saturdays (we were promised saturdays would be lapsing free..... yeah right!) today was super light hardly anything to take out and the biggest suprise no lapsing, managers were extra nice to everyone "yeah i will sign that parcel out even though its on the small side" and "have a nice bank holiday weekend everyone". Now i wont complain about that but my suspicious brain has me thinking something big is about to happen and they are keeping us sweet.

Can a management team be nice for once?

That is a possibility.
Alternatively - when you go to work on Tuesday you may find that RM have sold your DO, and are going to bus you to a new purpose-built super DO on an industrial estate about 30 miles away.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Actually I am a little concerned for our members in London. So far its only 1 DO and 3MC that have voted as far as II can tell. So if management flood the MC and get stuff moving wont that cause a series of either unofficial walk outs, or even some offices handling scab mail.

Or have I got it wrong and are the whole of the London is walking.
