Tommo I've always read all your posts and enjoyed them.
I understand where you're coming from and why you say what you do.
You have obviously been treated really badly by managers, and you have my 100% support.
But I have to say that I have gone through difficult periods and have had support from
managers who have defended me from other managers who were out to do me, so I can't say
that all managers are bad.
But the ones at the top ... oh no I've used the quick reply and don't have the emoticons, and I
don't usually swear, but it's cyberspace so ....FECK THEM!

Exactly. And that is why the service is going downhill.
Leighton and Crozier think they can take on any idiot or agency worker and they will be able
to do the job without training.

I've deleted all my posts. Don't want to get noticed by the corporate lackeys. Hope my contribution was in some way useful. Good luck.

Understood.
Thanks for your input and for the good wishes.
It is interesting to hear opinion from a management perspective - and
I don't mean the standard parrot management speak.

Seniorman mate... I hear ya...

I tell ya wot I have met a screw who wernt bad... An acting one.. And he did help me.. He treated me as i should be treated no more no less..

As a human being and not a whipping boy or lacky for him and his type... So i never called him a screw.. Just by his name..

I have been treated like shite by screws and i wont be going in to it as it is just moaning and i do enough of it ... Its the bastards at the top always but it trickles down and if you aint a help then your a hinderance in the cause... I see things simply!!! I hold no bones about it.. All i know is that :cfo & :lfo Have set out to destroy the working man/woman out of this job and the CWU with it....

So managers aint my friends they aint someone i talk to they are the enemy.. Oh ive got a old work mate who is a acting screw and i still take the piss out of him and he is ok.. But the day he works over me... Will change... :neutral:

Im black n white.. I wish the CWU where !! But this Silent meetings with big al n lil adam stink!!!

NEVER LET THE BASTARDS GRIND US DOWN!!! :crazy:

In the infamous channel 4 despatches documentary a graduated took hours to throw up the mail. Doing it correctly in frames scrawled in pencil in the time managers expect you to do it from no knowledge cant be done properly by untrained monkeys

even ones working as rm line managers

Well, I don't agree with you Arnold, but rightly or wrongly, this was always considered a free country so it's a pity you felt the need to delete your posts. What have we come to when someone feels the need to do this?
The Industrial Workers of the World. The union whose members never scab!
