^^^ I’m picturing some fast track graduate being parachuted in to “sort out” the depot. We all know the type; long on qualifications and woefully short on real world experience. Probably bragging to his mates down the wine bar how he’s going to sweep clean the place starting with the thicko drivers and eventually working his way up to boardroom kingpin.
Unfortunately once he’s royally screwed the job with his nonsensical tinkering he’ll be swiftly moved sideways to repeat the process somewhere else. Welcome to modern day logistics where qualifications are King.
That was my job in catering, I worked for the biggest contractor, sorting out all the problem units, dealt with the lot, psychos, blatant homosexuals, thickos, the lot…I then went on to work at the prestigious units, hob nobbing with the famous and the influential…Media, politicians, academics etc.
I then settled down to help those who were not in the public eye, far easier to work with and not at all high maintenance…Did that for 9 years, total peace and serenity, just the odd famous person who was a ball ache, because they were insecure(as most of them are)…I then went on to earn serious money in food manufacturing/development/operations…Boring, but was good for all this H&S ■■■■■■■■, I implemented it, trained it, devised, structured it…I was there, right on the development of it, I was guilty in implementing it…
In all of this rubbish, I formed a company that supplies H&S bull to other companies, throughout the world…I have distributors throughout Europe and the UK, only because I dont want to employ people, because people are the biggest pain in the arse, that much I learned from my climb up to senior management.....People, they are the weakest and the strongest link, you have to know them for them to be a strong link, but these days, you are not able to spend time with them, so they are a weak link, to minimise this, you then have to enslave them.....That is, demoralise them through Victorian work ethics that means they are frightened into losing their jobs.....This has been the model for some 20 years now and is why most people dont give a monkeys about what they do, they just do the bare minimum in return for some money…Lowest common denominator, the race to the bottom…It is here.
I do not like the way in which people are treated in this country by their employers, it is wrong and is not sustainable, doubtless, it will all fail soon, as people will only put up with so much crap…If you have a job and feel you are treated well, then hang on to it, for it is rare indeed.
In conclusion…Most people feel they are subjugated in one way or another, they are put upon, under pressure and have to perform in every environment, this in turn creates tension, frustration and anger…This is what we are seeing every day on our roads, people who are so pressurised that they are just about ready to pop, it is unhealthy (record amount of anti-depressants prescribed right now) And it is dangerous, as more and more people are under pressure to perform because they really do feel that their job is on the line, this is called being demoralised, they do this to control us, it is dangerous, it is wrong and it needs to be stopped…But since they do this to our senior physicians, it is not going to end any time soon.
We are better than this in my opinion.
) are on the same rate of pay as the proper drivers, as they are at my firm…why is this?
he tells me.
