  1. Good day to check over the car. Nope.

    Check tyre pressures, drive two miles. Machine not switched on. Ok no hassle, drive to car wash in same garage. Not switched on either. Try to make the international sign for 'f**k sake if they are out of order then put a sign on it you twats' towards the garage but not too sure what that is so left.

    Drive another two miles to another garage, it's an ancient clapped out thing from the 90's that hasn't been serviced for years. Have I put air in my tyres, yes. Do I trust the reading, nope. Have I just wasted 50p, probably.

    Drive to car wash and pay seven pound to get shouted at by some manky Polish guy and his son trying to get my car in line with the chain thing.

    Roof is still dirty, if that wash was 'the works' then God knows what the £2 wash is? Throw pisswater on your windscreen?

    Bad customer service and taking custom for granted really pisses me off. I was in two minds to drive the car back and complain but they would just do their best manuel impression and pretend not to understand.

  2. Just because we went through admin doesn't mean that we can't take major decisions and should just be happy with constant failure.

    We are not getting value for money from the current manager, it may be more cost effective to bring about a change than losing in the playoffs again and ending up part time. Despite getting 2500 fans every home game plus the centenary club money we are unable to even suggest changing the manager?

    We should be lucky just drifting into finding that our level is getting beat by part time sides managed by complete diddys like Dick Campbell and Jim Duffy?

    Despite this I think the prospect of having a part time side managed by Potter in the third division would appeal but there would be a large exodus of fans and it might be hard to recover from this, ever. Just look at Airdrie and Clyde.

    I think the next six months will be more important than the last year, we need to go up.

  3. I'll be going nowhere near HR. The amount of horror stories about how they have pretty much forced people out the door is quite unbelievable.

    There was a young girl who worked part time whilst at school and she ended up doing 20 odd Saturday nights (5-11 or something) in a row. She needed one off for a Scotland game and she put in for it weeks in advance and was told it would be fine. She got scheduled in to work it and when she mentioned it she was sent to personnel who deal with rota changes. She was told if she didn't turn up for work it was a breach of contract and she'd be dealt with accordingly. She pretty much begged them for it off but was told no. They then made up some lie about how she couldn't shift swap either because it was too late and the system wouldn't allow it. For the record shift swaps at our work don't need authorised by anyone except your supervisor. She left in tears. On the Saturday night she didn't turn up and others phoned in sick. I was the only person in and we fell massively behind, not that I cared. I'd have done the same I think. She handed in her notice the day after and spent her last week purposely not clocking out so the system would flag up personnel and they'd have to arrange a meeting to see when she stopped working. It's a simple process but she felt she was annoying the daft cow so she kept doing it.

    I don't really enjoy my job anyway and I am looking to leave. It wouldn't be in my best interest to fight a losing battle. I'll wait till I find somewhere then kick his c**t.

    Yep, HR covering up a toxic and dysfunctional workplace and staff. Sounds familiar.

    They are there to serve the company, not the workers. Sounds weird but without a Union it's true.

    My current workplace isn't like this thankfully.

  4. Did they put their cigarettes out on you aswell?

    I wish it was like school bullying but when your livelihood, mortgage and sanity is being put on the line it's hard to stand up to subtle acts of aggression.

    If it was in the street or whatever then sure, it would have escalated into violence pretty quickly. If you tried that at work then these shitebags win. They have no interest in playing fair and have rigged the fight before it even begins.

    Worker shows up toxic environment for what it is>>shames boss>>boss feels angry>>invents stuff makes worker out to be a problem>>boss' boss now backs boss>>boss begins attack>>worker fights back>>boss is backed by his boss>>worker leaves>>boss starts process again but is never taken to task despite cost to company.

    How can you fight that?

  5. Go to his superiors or HR and demand an apology from him. If you don't, a few weeks down the line you'll be thinking "I can't believe I let that p***k talk to me like that". Don't worry about getting shafted or any repercussions at work after it - if anything changes in your job to make your job harder/worse, tell them you are documenting it and will be claiming for constructive dismissal if your job becomes unbearable. If you then lose your case, wait outside of work for him one day and batter f**k out of him.

    Take it from someone who tried to stand up to a bullying boss. Do not go to HR. They are only there to protect the interests of the company. They will try to railroad you into accepting the blame.

    I documented four years worth of comments, incidents and the like and one day when I stood up for myself against him he went behind my back and grassed me up to HR and his boss and I was then invited to a kangaroo court where the decision was already made. I was accused of being paranoid, not allowed to even see what I was accused of, not allowed to give evidence (even asked where I kept it), interrupted by impartial note taker from HR.

    I ended up having to apologise to them, absolutely crazy.

    Then you ask yourself - what did you expect to happen?

    Yes, you are correct. Your boss is bullying you. You are entitled to sue the company for failing to provide duty of care. Take a few weeks of and here's some free therapy to recover from it. Also thought I would let you know that the bullying comes right from the top ultimately because we are dysfunctional, toxic and unprofessional and as long as profits don't suffer we don't care. Just as long as nobody tries to point it out.

    :1eye

  6. Came out of work this morning both seething and on verge of tears. Duty manager absolute hounded me and I stood there wondering what he was talking about. After several 'ehs' he finally realised he had the wrong person. Instead of apologising he ended up going daft because I said something along the lines of "if I spoke to any worker here like that, I'd be pretty ashamed of myself". Next thing, Kevin to the managers office. After a long talk she established that he was the bawbag and we would just move on. Can't help but think if it was the other way around I would be sent packing. Absolutely fuming that he got away with it despite being a massive p***k.

    Had some supervisor getting on my case a few weeks back. Had some bad news coming into work, must've looked pissed off and they picked up on it.

    Started a massive rant about 'do you want to work here' 'go somewhere else' 'it's not so bad' I let them make a complete tool of themselves then told them about the bad news. Absolute twat just melted and apologised. TBH I should've went to HR about it.

    Like you if it was the other way round, have seen them swear at people etc.

  7. Story of the match and Jefferies tenure has been that we have a soft naive centre and seem unable to deal with pressure in set piece situations.

    Instead of buying one or two experienced centre halfs he keeps buying or playing youngsters. Buchanan has been the one success out of half a dozen.

    There is certain positions that need experience and we haven't filled them properly.

    Cruising, pressure, fall apart, soft free kick, cross, header, goal.

    How many games could you apply that to? Twenty, thirty?

    Absolute shambles.

    Well done the Pars for going all the way to Stair Park and getting a result against the form team in the league at a difficult venue when we have had trouble scoring goals lately. I realize that we were very close to being in the next round, but given the task at the beginning of the day, we are in the draw on Monday with a replay at EEP and I'll surely take that. COYP!
