Performance charts

[shimmyrule]

heres another thing we are forced to take part in, a sorting "test" -challenge.
Different people, every day, one minute tested,on the ips, and theyve put up a league table, with mr a at the top, sorting x amount, right down to mr z, whos sorted this amount.
Can they do this?

we got told this today DOM said he would be in the background testing us,what a load of tosh

[joeboy]

no see your rep, that;s bullying and harrassing people, it should not be displayed.

[rhino49]

Absolutely NOT !!!

The one minute test is the agreed method for evaluating sorting knowledge and speed, but is for management information in order to provide coaching aimed at improvement of method and abilities - the result should be as private as your personal files and to display for public consumption is exactly as Joeboy says - bullying and harrassment.

Sounds like someone has been on one of these American style motivational courses.

Tell your Manager that you'll have to withdraw from his "Sorting Challenge" because you've been taking "Performance Enhancing" drugs to help you get around your Duty! Coffee & Power Bars

Is this guy taking it seriously or is it just a bit of fun? Perhaps he's getting into the mood for the up-coming Olympics! We could have lots of competitions based around the office...the 50 metre dash to the Tea Machine.....power lifting (Trying to lift Two Bags someone else has prepped for you)......Cycle Racing for those that still have bikes.

We had a similar thing posted on a wall regarding performance whoever had the most customer complaints went to the top of the list with the least complaints at the bottom, this was soon taken down after union intervention .

Hurdles for those that like to jump fences between gardens.
Rowing for when your walk is hit by a flash flood.
Boxing for when the office banter gets out of control.

Our Rep and DOM were at your DO this week, learning about this.

No definately not! How humiliating! This opens the gateway to others making fun of the 'slower ones' an invitation to B/H---every single person in the office needs to lodge a written complaint, and if possible, take a photo of this offensive 'chart'-----

The only people who moan about these performance charts are the ones at the bottom.

No I would refuse wherever I came. Its degrading, divisive, promotes B&H, does nothing of a training value, is against Union ethos and is nothing beyond being a possible power trip for weak managers who feel safer behind a clip board rather than using acceptable managerial practices to motivate and train staff. (nto at you clash - at the idea behind such claptrap).

What happens if you have a good day and you're at the top,a week or so later you're at the bottom for what ever reason,a chat with the screw,performance issue,conduct code!

Do you think a screw will let his little pet end up on the bottom?
Do you think a screw will let a pain in the arse like me anywhere near the top?
