Funny cos in my office if you moan about these things you'e a trouble maker who needs to 'just get on with it'.

In fact small things like not having the proper elastic bands add up...how can u take pride in your work without the equipment to do it?!

How can they run a business the way they're currently doing?

Incompetence.

Staggering, unbelievable, levels of managerial incompetence.
