He seems to forget that Animals can bite back

Vote YES

[fedup postie]

Shame he doesnt take his own advice and listen to the animals then!!!

Growl.

How can staff morale be high when people are trying to manage their bills with the cost of living rising, and no decent pay rise and the threat that you might lose your job, and then he says the people in RM were the only thing it had in its favour, what an overpaid a*****le, he talks about zoos well theres something thats black and gold that would look great on him, its called a tiger...UNITY IS STRENGTH

[waffler]

Has animals on the brain him, maybe trying to justify using the word 'Bulls**t' in his five televisual minutes of threats and lies the other week. Happily all the lads and lasses at my office walked out of Croziers attempt.


YES VOTE BRING IT ON!

There's nothing remotely original about Allan Leighton, the going plural bit was copied from Sir Peter Parker; the former British Rail Chairman, the Fear Uncertainity Doubt/Bull**** Command& Control, from the Boardroom down, comes from IBM in the 60's, used by many businesses in the 80's. Problem was some had Harold Beale moments & jumped ship to form little companies like Dell, Compaq etc.
Walmart in the US have 48? lawsuits against them , for dubious employment practices, they tend to "avoid" Trade Unions, why do you think Stephen Byers put him there?
They have a Fordist 40's style of management, everything is very regimented as to what a line manager can do, his superior and so forth.
The Simplicity Officer ? !, more like Simpleton !, in what he's done to this Industry, actually it's a American 90's style , the idea is everything has to be so simple so a absolute beginner can understand it, a Royal Mail ML4, SM?
He sent coathangers round to Asda Managers with " No jacket required on them", RM managers stopped wearing jackets and started wearing B&W, same colours as Prison Officers?!
The Homespun stuff is actually Sam Walton's style, clear and direct? communication, Sam's mini plane, fatally crashed into a electricity plyon, couldn't have happened to a nicer person eh!
Colleague shares " Give them shares, they may think they've a stake in the business , but you can get away with paying them less".
The stuff from DOMs , posties paid for eight, working six, that's similar to the Asda timetheft idea, a employee won £18K in a ET , the tape showing him taking necessary medication mysteriously went missing.Asda were fined by a ET, for preference exercise forms to staff advocating local not National pay bargaining. The GMB took Asda to court for it.
