All the crap going on at the mo, Bags dropped left right and centre, Mail having to be failed, Strike action Moral at an all time low
What are the managers at my place doing.......................Pissing us all off by demanding everybody wears the crappy name badge with the shite glued on pin that lasts about 5 minutes.
All our work time learning the other day was consumed by it, we're there itching like fck to get out and get a flier but our dum goes round us all 1 by 1 asking where both badges are and making a note to order new ones.
We're getting new ones with our photograph on. This is because managers think we're all as stupid as they are and have to look at the photo every so often just to remind ourselves we are who we say we are.

carry a small mirror with you and if challenged to identify yourself - look in the mirror and say "yus - that's me" (with thanks to spike milligan)
We've had so called security badges for a couple of months now. I've never seen such cheap crap. A bit of laminated paper with your photo on. Any moron could knock one of these up in no time. This will hardly thwart a criminal mastermind. More money spent on useless crap. It's becoming a bit of a habit :cfo :lfo
As someone who mapped every non-operational department in the company I was staggered by their size.
for example, the legal department is comparable in size to any medium sized practice in this country. Approx. 100 lgeal eagles
Security department - hundreds
Internal Communications - Over 50 people
External Communications - Over 60 people
All of these departments need to justify their existence and how their empires are contributing. To be fair to them they do have work to do. What they are making these badges one can only assume there is some type of secruity./legal requirement, but as perusual the company is not capable of implementing things in a profesisonal manner. Someone comes along and starts chipping away at the edges of quality! To be fair to some of these departments there is now a huge 'procurement' department with a procurement director who is ripping through contracts and getting cheaper deals, and possibly lower quality products.
Where you're in operations you just don't realise that there is this whole other world out there doing stuff.
Guess who many people are in Marketing? Yes the department that hasn't done a single TV advert in over 2 years, not launched a real product in several years (don't claim the 9am is a product!)
