Just Do It going forward!
That's a far more modest proposal than some I've heard...
Ahhh, you've been reading the managers phrasebook again, haven't you?
As it happens I recently completed a management development programme, but what does that have to do with my ability to take the helicopter out of the ballpark and see the trees for the forest?!
But Swift would be proud of posts on this thread.DrM this is off-topic and should be in the Dealing with the Deficit forum. But since you posted it here, I will respond.
I don't think things are quite that bad - yet. There is no need to start eating overfed unhealthy Irish children when there are plenty of non-nationals collecting child benefit who would be more than willing to bring their tender lean children here if suitable "subsistence" grants were made available. THEY eat their young after all. Best of all, as most of THEM are being reared abroad we know their feed is not contaminated due to the actions of lazy Irish workers.
OK. we have seen numerous threads on here from employees giving out their employers, poor/no bonus's, no pay rises etc. Well what about employers stories of poor employees? I have some; (note we are a professional services firm and deal with the public all the time)
1) one employee sits at his computer from 1 until 2 eating luch and surfing the net. Come 2 o clock he goes to the toilet for a 10 minute break.......... (dont worry he no longer does this)
2) At his annual wage review in september one emplyee was looking for more money that was offered and argued his case for more (€1,000 in the difference) he lives at hoem with his parents. he said things had "changed at home"Naturally i was worried and asked if everything was ok and he said things had just changed. Since then he has gone on his annual holidays which was 2 weeks in portugal, and he has been away for weekend in Belfast, paris and newcastle since SEPTEMBER!!
3) another employee came in three days in a row without shaving. asked him why and he said he has a skin condition.... he was told the next time he came in not shaved he would be sent home for the day and he has always been shaved since then - i know i am mean.
4) we are based outside clondalkin in a business park. one employee was asked to drive to navan to work - he had no idea where this was and had to borrow a sat nav. the same employee was working in Mountjoy square for a week last yera and had to get directions back this year. Also he need to get directions to Glasnevin.
i am sure there are plenty more like this out there..........

I think he's taking the PClearly the original poster is Mr Scrooge. Imagine resenting someone having a dump on company time. Is this thread a wind up?
I think he's taking the P
It is more than tiresome that those with axes to grind seem determined to drag every AAM thread down this divisive...
She then turned on the two bar heater that she had requested in the loo because it was too cold to change in to her staff uniform in the mornings.
I hope that two bar heater in the loo is a permanent wired fixture or you'll have Health and Safety and RECI etc after you.If not, better remove it and have her freeze her behind, just blame it on Health and Safety regulations.
I'm working now in the private sector - lots of the young guys come in and during the morning prepare some breakfast (porridge, muesli etc) for themselves in the kitchen and then take it to the desk and munch happily for 30 mins or so. Never saw this in 20 years in the public sector!
I know breakfast is "the most important meal of the day" but.........
A personal bugbear is chewing gum - even if you're not in contact with clients I still regard it as unsuitable for the workplace (or anywhere really but that's another day's work).
