Good....another one bites the dust. Can't these graduates hold down a job longer than a few years?

Not really, they find out that they can't do the job so have to move on before they're found out

They get big fat leaving bonuses.... so they move on as often as possible!

Never doubted for a second, that RM managers could flip burgers for a living.
But, not as managers at McDonalds, they can only scam that sham to the max in our fruitcake of a company.

I do not doubt the credentials of this lady, but any corporate animal who gets involved with this group (Royal Mail) will tell you that you cannot give the full benefit of your talent, all the time that Politics rules the roost, eg the Gov.

Don't think so, she just gets found wanting and businesses (not wanting to look stupid for actually employing them in the first place) give them glowing references to get rid of them on the cheap...........................or she might just love Big Macs


Looking at that I may actually think about joining McDonalds just to get my mouth around that...............


If anybody knows my doctor please don't tell them about my burger fantasy, I'm supposed to be on a diet.....................supposed

Perhaps her job was to search for talent amongst management.
No wonder she left.
