Robin.Hood Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 A few year back out department got so badly slaughtered in a survey, the head of the department panicked and called a meeting for us to address issues. After listening to us slaughter the place for an hour, she turned around and said she couldn’t make any of the issues we raised go away, so we either had to move department or quit.Yup. Pretty much how it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Sounds about right, the 'If you're not happy leave' approachI chose to move department and still laugh in amazement when former colleagues bitch about the exact same issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt most of them even pass on their underlings' concerns in case they annoy someone further up the food chain.If your employer's response to legitimate workplace concerns is "tell them to find another job if they aren't happy", you'd surely be looking for a new job yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Any time I have one of those surveys I eviscerate everything and everyone. I have much worse to say than usual in the next one, so I look forward to wasting half an hour of my day writing in that rather than doing any work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Why would a company send round an anonymous questionnaire that wasn't anonymous? That just would just breed mistrust? Where I work if the team is too small there is no team level breakdown given so you can be as honest as you like, surely the point of the whole thing in the first place. Mine would be people who don't close the fridge after taking what they need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 My workshy colleague has caused an epic meltdown this morning. He was working on something yesterday, set up a follow up meeting for 08:30 this morning and then emailed everyone to say that he wouldn't be in until later as he had a dental appointment. There was no reason to set the meeting for 08:30 and when the meeting was held most of the attendees didn't know why it had been scheduled so early. Normally we don't have meetings before about 10am unless there are specific reasons to do so. The only reason he has set up this meeting is so that he won't have to do it. Its unbelievable behaviour, so unprofessional. Half our team are now baying for him, I think management may have to step in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 When he came back online he put a message in our group saying that it wasn't a case of him taking anything back on as we are all one team. Amazing. He's utterly brutal as a colleague. He's like a child, wanting everyone to do things for him but if anyone asks him to do something he refuses or at least resists enough to make it awkward. Bear in mind, we area ll adults. He's in his 40s. We are all in fairly well paid, professional jobs. Astounding stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meeting was held at 08:30 - hardly anyone could attend because it was rescheduled during the evening and people didn't get the notice. Also, most of the people due to attend are based in London and they generally get in later due to the length of commutes. So the meeting was rescheduled for when workshy colleague was due in, prompting a passive-aggressive response from him when he got in. As above, it's more work not to do the meeting than just to fucking do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
