Million Dollar Question..

Post by P739 »

Why do managers continually ask you to do something they can't do themselves like prep mail in a certain time plus prep DDs likewise and complete deliveries in ridiculous times?..Still waiting for a answer :arrrghhh

According to Dave Ward our managers have got a tough job and are being asked to do things that are impossible :left: :shock:

I always thought the million dollar question was

"Why do managers kick up such a fuss when you refuse to work over your time, yet they aren't prepared to work a second over their time?"

Not so in my office,their running it so short staffed theyve been out till six in the evening clearing the uncovered walks and cut offs.Its to heavy for most to lapse now and there not allowed to not clear the office everyday,most of our LMs walking round with limps and bad backs and a look of rabbits in the headlights. :Boo hoo!
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Simple because their bosses are telling them to.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

You should definitely get the rep to put a stop to that. Cleaners are employed by ROMEC not RM and that is OPG work.
