Jambomo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 8 hours ago, D.A.F.C said: I’m with DA, the fact that a company actively wants to monitor and check up on people is a betrayal of trust and shows underlying issues with insecurity and power and control. When you treat people this way they will soldier and clockwatch, if the work is done let people go home don’t make them sit around pretending to work. If there’s no work or it’s up and down then that’s the fault of the management, don’t make people sit around as if they are pawns in your game of control. If everyone worked from home there would be less politics, less pointless meetings and bullying and harassment wouldn’t exist because you would have to do it via email or on video. Production would go sky high without all of this crap. I do agree. I had this conversation with another manager at my work, who had said she wanted to introduce targets and the like “because you are supposed to know what people are doing”. Well do we ever? You’ll just end up spending time you can be doing more productive stuff, monitoring your team. I can see in the workload if stuff isn’t getting done and at that point, have a word. I am lucky that my team do all work hard (or at least put on a good impression of it!) I personally have a chat with them on teams in the morning (and sometimes through the day) but that’s more to check in and see that they are doing alright and not dead on the floor or something. After that it’s just to have a bit of a laugh - people need interaction. I know they are all getting on with their work and tbh, I don’t care if they watch homes under the hammer whilst doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatowner Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 We (NZ) are at 9 deaths and an announcement is due tomorrow regarding coming out of level 4. I have to say I think Ardern has been excellent throughout the whole lockdown. She is open and honest at every press conference unlike a few other leaders I can think of.Our 4 week lockdown is scheduled to end next Wednesday, so we will just have to wait and see. Going back to work will really get in the way of daytime drinking and playing FIFA though. Those teeth frighten me to bits. We are now at the decision phase on when to get everybody back to work and deal with any outbreaks or piss off people by keeping them isolated for even longer while making it more difficult for businesses to survive. I hope she gets everybody back to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 There must be lots more returned to work today as the roads and trains are much busier than they've been for the past three weeks.

All the MPs who voted against giving nurses a pay rise in 2017. https://www.indy100.com/article/mps-voted-against-giving-nurses-pay-rise-list-9462946 I'm all for attacking Tory voters but if I've learnt 1 thing about them it's that they don't give a f**k about anything other than themselves. I've yet to speak with 1 who thinks any decisions made by Tories was inhumane or too far, it's all about selfish wants and the money. p***ks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows where they all work right enough as I've not heard about any of the restrictions being eased or lifted ?? There was a small engineering company in Dundee that returned to work last Monday, 9 days after the lockdown started. Unfortunately there is nothing stopping non-essential businesses that aren’t on the proscribed list from operating. There should be but there isn’t. They are meant to impose social distancing but I’d imagine in many, many businesses that will be difficult if not impossible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
