floor cleaning now at full blast arbroaths coming back whoo hoo!
the way things are today you would think they are closing the whole facility.
how flat is the atmosphere in work at the moment perhaps we should restart the social club?
will be glad when all this is over either way it goes, atmosphere is crap, mr brown is in denial, archie has disapeared . when was his last monthly update ? its easy to be the leader when everything is good and rosy now is the time true leaders show their worth. come on at least try and lift spirits and at least admit we are boned mr brown. please realise that this dragging out the layoffs is not helping quality or production everyone is distracted and its no wonder things are deteriorating daily.
golf clubs ? unless you have webbed hands and feet theyll nae dae ye any good min.
Anyone selling a cheap set of golf clubs? Thinking of taking up golf.
anyone else notice this site is now blocked on the works pc's perhaps someone is feeling a bit miffed with the postings ?
Scoring this time is based on your 2011 PPR and Golf handicap and pist code . Please note that only private courses will be deemed of suitable stature. If you don't golf, then your simply not the kind of chap we need. Harsh but true.
somebody mentioned that there was some readjustment in the workforce, is this one of elliots 5s things ? all i know is there will be hell to play when i come back if anyone has moved my chair and cushion and retuned my radio , when my stress reduces of course!
Whatever you do don't contact the local press .. oh no not that. Be a loyal wee banjo player while the company reams you where the lassies don't touch.
The scoring has been done fairly,It has been done fairly this time. They can't enfasize this enough. That tells me there is something wrong with it. Maybe it's like Santa's list, they're checking it twice to find out who's been noughty or nice,that's the fairness of it all. St#n and gi#dy still smiling, that means someone's getting stitched up?
Maths? Don't you realise who you're working for pseudo-name? It's math in America. Hell Halliburton even changed the hemispheres around. Seems like someone's not halliburtonised enough, that makes you AT RISK
Hopefully for everyone's sake they don't use the same excel spreadsheet that works out the efficiency graphs. A work of fiction if ever there was
all has gone quiet archie on holiday, joyce going on holiday , scoring going on without senior oversight what could go wrong with pallet straightners and floor cleaners doing the maths ? these are the same muppets that work out the daily percentages that show how productive machines are that havent turned a chuck for weeks.
Horrible having to wait so long to see if you still have a job.
audit is why their not telling us a thing. But as soon as it is done... Great management arbroath putting employees 1st
Didn't he visit before previous redundancies? Me thinks the audit is a rouse.
Kerry's over to save us all
following procedures elliot has done a flo chart on the most efficent way to deliver the redundancies without affecting floor cleaning, and pallet straightening for the audit. remeber our employees are our most important assetts !
Does anyone know who's being paid off yet?
Bouncer at the Arbroath joab centre is a mean looking f---er.
Hope the way people were told the last time has been sorted oot, nothing short of disgraceful.
4 PTL's a Rat and a Clown.
One ptl sits on his arse all day, one annoys folk about not signing out tooling, an the other 3 get stuff done, pgl's one keeps the floors Spock and span and the rest complement him in how good a job he did
Partly true theirs 5 PGL's, 4 and a senior PGL to hold they're hands. All failed machineists
Is it true Arbroath plant has 6 PGL's, 6 PTL's is this true. What do they do all day (night). What is that all about. We have 2 and 2 one of each for day and night. It sounds like you lot in Arbroath are at it and taking the p#ss out the management tree.
What news?
Just heard the news. Gutted
All is very quiet , who will go no one knows but everyone will still speculate
ah great humour my ribs are aching , im sure you are used to having youre head up peoples arses !
Sorry, I've just taken my 'head' out your wife's arse and read it again. Who's the dummy? ;)
no one is blaming the reps dummy i was congratulating them on asking questions and pursuing the question when archie started his waffling answers, head out of arse and read the post.
Coulda been worse, could have been the other 3 goats.
Don't blame the reps. Employee reps were just a legal requirement but will be powerless to change anything. Another Halliburton box ticking exercise. Not their fault
love the e mail from hr, af is weary of meetings on the shop floor ? hopefully this is a typo. or maybe the truth is out. also well done to the reps for asking and pursuing questions kudos gents.
no warehousemen jobs outthere ?
Oh well it looks like it's back to doing what I do best ,picking fruit and potatoes up the farms again
so the areas have been identified, now the speculation begins, just remeber when this round is over those of us that are left have to rub along together for however long weve got left so stab vests on and hands visible at all times.
It would be best if the store men got paid off, after all anyone can put a part on a shelf and then lose it. Keep one for goods in and one for goods out . The rest are not needed
oops sorry getting tired, stereotyping is the best type of humour !
