YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP !

Post by transporter03 »

Just had a new d.o.m. this week . Apparently he is with us on a temporary basis until the new year.
We have found out today that rm is paying for him to stay in a hotel each week rather than commute from home.
Probably not that unusual these days I guess but it makes you wonder why they couldn't have found someone closer ?.
Is it any wonder our profits are down with business practices like this going on and thats on top of Rico's golden hello !.

Is it the Hilton or premier inn either way it will be tax deductible and another cost to the business upon the imposition for those who cannot even organise themselves yet alone pay their way but expect us all to travel and bend over backwards so they get a bonus !

And the manipulation of the delivery info to withhold the bonus,,still,,the reduction in the working week is going down well with the management,,i bet they cant wait for negotiations to start with a further reduction in working hours,,and the bum monkeys will still come in at the same time ,with a silly grin on their faces,smiling at the DMs who smile back thinking what complete arseholes they are,,,working the equivalent of 3 weeks for free.

Any progress on the SWW in MCs down to 37 hrs would just increase the size of the failures. AFAIK any substantive manager can be expected to cover any other substantive manager or be needed for other stuff at ANY rm office, MC or DO (don't know if that also applies to RDCs)
