Typical, inefficient Germans.

Still better with the train than a German car.

Every train between Düsseldorf and Köln cancelled. Managed to get a lift home but what a fucking farce.

The company went public about 3 years ago and since then it's been one round of layoffs after another with a revolving door on the Executive boardroom. Last summer they laid off 10% of the company and there have been 4 smaller rounds since then. All the usual Corporate Excuse-ometer, "Leaner", "More Focused", "Positioning ourselves for the future." All just weasel words for "We want a bigger bonus."

Morale is at rock-bottom but hey, that's not management's problem is it?

Yup. Greedy scum who have plenty but who want more think nothing of stepping on folk to get that more

Pussy health and safety rules like having to wear a high vis, glasses and a helmet regardless of what you are doing. Some wifey on the news wearing a hard hat in a council gritting yard. Why? If a truck falls on your head that won't help.

"Your password is due to expire in 12 days, would you like to change your password?"

No I wouldn't, ask me in 12 days you electronic c**t.

My work updated the password reset function 5 security questions set up for resetting it and the next page asked for 3 different ones should I need to phone the IT helpline.
8 questions in order to change a password and I still got the automated reminder the next day as apparently there is a cut off time to update it before it runs for overnight email run.

The PTTGONYNS for today is descaling light came on the tassimo. The little disk you need to run this has long gone missing due to house moves. There is no realistic way to start the program without the descale barcode on that disk. Had to Google the barcode. Print it off and sellotape it to a used disk and run the thing (bought descaler at a store rather than hunt down the tassimo own brand one that's not on sale anywhere but amazon) 2 hours later and the sodding light is off and the machine is use able again
What a pain in the tits.

[weirdcal]

Store, FFS.

Twas a hardware store. Said it on the sign. Perfectly acceptable

[weirdcal]

Let you off.
This time.

Well they didn't have any at the tesco superstore that I visited so I had to go to the hardware store.

My boss is always giving us this spiel when . A hard hat or bump cap won't do anything if a 35 ton shipping container falls on you, but because it's in the method of work that you have to wear one then if they lift it up off your pancake flat body and u weren't wearing one then your family won't get a penny !

If your name is on it they'll be able to identify you.

Isn't it because the hard hat has a number on it and they can use that to identify the body?

Nah , we don't have anything personally identifiable on any of our ppe , he just likes to makes a big point about how your wife and kids won't get a penny in compo if you're not wearing a hard hat purely because it says u have to in a method of work. He's a bit of a rule book w****r.

You, and other folk who talk about 'health and safety', do realise that the whole stuff is simply to protect companies when they get sued by some slimy ambulance chasing 'no win no fee' types?

Why even bother with descaler? I just run the program with normal water to get the light off. Fairly sure it comes on after so many cycles as opposed to intelligently knowing there is a build up of lime scale which isn't really a thing up here.
