Told off by manager for talking !

Post by Seagull1983 »

Things are getting really bad at our office. Even the slightest hint of chatting away from the frame is being stopped and sarcastically commented on by our manager. We’re adults and very occasionally talk away from the frame.

It’s happened to a lot of staff this week. It’s becoming unbearable .

Talk and sort is popular with our DIM. Even when he wants a conversation with you! :roll:

Just another piece of their computer's way of working, everything timed, no human element coz thats ALL they have to back up their revisions. Expect a chip up our backsides before long. We had it when a manager passed a serial talker, and had a go for someone chatting for a few seconds 🙊

Got the same two weeks ago about talking in workplace from our DOM, he came to ask me a favour last week and told him 'sorry cant talk as I'm not allowed to talk at work'! Needless to say hes now threw the toys out of the pram.

The managers have been told. Make the plans work or Your out basically. Hence all the S- 1t. Demoralise everyone it will help.

"A happy workforce is a productive one"?

Like being back at school.
This company has zero respect for the men and women who work their butts off for it.
Royal Mail is utter s**t. Complete and utter s**t.

That’s the way to do it, we just have to play their game.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

If true, there's going to be a hell of lot of 'out'.

You'd be talking about a nationwide cull of shopfloor managers who, even with the best will in the world, cannot fit a quart into a pint pot, cannot bullshit it in, cannot threaten it in, cannot wish it in, cannot manipulate the maths and fake the data it in.

Royal Mail....drowning in its own bullshit?
