Bairnardo Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Knock the f**k out him. If not up that..... Guaranteed he's got PTSD so keep shouting "BOOOOM" behind his back. Start dressing more 'Muslimy' , [emoji769]XBL[emoji2398][emoji2400] , a nice thick vest for example. He'll quickly melt into psychosis, they usually do [emoji41]Jesus f**k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I was once grilled by my line manager, in a monthly review, why I pretty much worked my contracted hours, while all my colleagues were doing minimum 5 or 6 hours unpaid OT per week. I pointed out that as me and my team were exceeding all targets set, surely the question should be getting asked of all my colleagues as to why they couldn't achieve their results In less time? She never broached the subject again. Edited February 5, 2020 by Boghead ranter 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder he has to work through lunch tidying up after you. An inch maybe, but 3?!?. Have you not got a side shift?

Do you think it reflects a strong work ethic to be in the office even if you have nothing to do? Maybe for some jobs but not all. In my experience it is often about an employer who takes a slack attitude to overtime as in "we will pay it if you do it but we won't check if you actually needed to". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Unless there is a genuine emergency threatening human lives, doing extra work for no extra pay is the definition of insanity. It's voluntary slavery. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I dont think my workmate gets that no-one wants to hear about her daughters 5th year biology exam much less get a daily update on her study progress and test results. I don't mind people occasionally speaking about their kids, not in the slightest, but theres only so many times I can hold a smile through "Elizabeth got 80% on her past paper last night". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Unless there is a genuine emergency threatening human lives, doing extra work for no extra pay is the definition of insanity. It's voluntary slavery.My contracted hours are 8.30-5. I generally come in about 7.45 and leave at 5.15. Helps me keep on top of shite. Plus i genuinely like work and the company I am with, i get paid very well and i will eventually become one of the wanks at the top. So doing an hour a day extra is no sweat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
