Teuchter is more dry humour - you'll get a laugh having a chat to some in a boozer, but they'd struggle to project it to 12,000 people in the Hydro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 If a workplace doesn’t trust their staff to deliver to the point where they are upset if you’re looking at your phone then they’ve probably fucked up their recruitment.Judge staff on results, don’t watch over their shoulder all day everyday. Yup.Seems so many feckless sooky p***ks do well but because they play the game rather than actually deliver results.If there's nothing to do it's the fault of management not the staff. Why are they walking about spying on people? Trust broken you are fucked basically. People just soldier on rather than be committed.First place I worked the owner used to appear at his office window and look down on the shop floor like some god or something. If anyone looked back they got pulled up for not working.He ended up losing it all due to being such a dick.Treat staff like how you would want to be treated. Wow better results. Amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Think a lot of you have gotten carried away here. We don’t have managers constantly looking over our shoulders. There aren’t managers patrolling the office looking to get folk in to trouble. Nothing I’ve said suggest this is the case. The official policy is to not have your phone out in the office, but the management know sometimes folk need to if they have to wait on a call for example. On occasion someone will be asked to put their phone away if a manager is walking by and the person is seen to be on it. There are also a couple of sneaky wee grasses who have in the past told on people (to the managers), but they are very much the exception. We are trusted to get on with our work. The managers are actually pretty sound here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re only talking about yourself, you should probably avoid sweeping blanket statements like the above in future then.

tarapoa Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The 'office job' thing is a mixed bag. In Aberdeen, working for the operators can often mean the best technology, good canteens, breakout areas with free coffee and good looking burds. One year I changed jobs and found myself working in a smaller company based in an old granite building, in a more solicitor/accountant type environment................the work wasn't bad, but the environment was suffocating - I realised I'd been 'institutionalised' in working for big corporate types. Also in November with the driving wind and rain outside, it's less appealing to have to spend too much time outdoors - will just have to make do with our annual 'teambuilding' picking dogshite off the beach or counting pipe at our storage yard for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
