I told him I was on my way to check something in the yard, when I got back to the office I'd tell the pay clerk to make up his pay. If he changed his mind he should get to the office before me. He was there, and thereafter a changed man.
    At one large company we had a few disgruntled drivers from time to time. Dispatcher would lean over counter looking towards floor and ask if their legs were working ok. Second question was you do know how to find the exit gate, well problem solved.
    The ones that do walk off the job and go somewhere else usually did it with little fanfare.

    Back to topic original poster could consider hiring immigrants as apparently they’ll never have housing problems. And coming from some foreign dictatorship they’re probably unlikely to complain much or ask for pay rises to often…. Sometimes different perspectives might even bring new profitable ideas or better ways of doing things.

    That is a typical response from on high. I thought you might take a moment to reflect on what might be triggering the persons frustrations.....it might be you?

    That DM that you mention would be a waste of both of our time.

    Perhaps some papers on psychology would benefit a manager in the future.

    Can you tell my attitude is coloured by experiences with shitty managers?
    I don't have upset employees. I either put them on the right path or if they are broken goods with issues with authority I move them on.

    I feel your issue with management may not be all your past managers. The issue here seems to be you. That is fine. Everyone is different, I think you just need to work for yourself or maybe look at a management role.

    Keep me posted on how you go.

    Cheers

    I'm sure when you reach 18 your mummy or daddy, or maybe fraternity buddies will tell you or even take you to an event, meanwhile you just enjoy your jelly with some lovely icecream innocent in the fact that there could have been a couple of menstruating dirty bitches writhing in a tub full of it prior to it being dished up to you....
    That is of course if they let you have jelly at Gloriavale?

    I admire people with mental clarity and acuity.
    Mine is sure in decline but I often fall back on that old quote which goes something like....

    "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are so certain of themselves and wiser people so full of doubts"

    If you're going to post a load of bollocks, at least try to remember the previous bollocks you've posted, so you don't contradict yourself.

    Hey bud,

    Sorry I'm not really familiar with this sport.
    So you are a jelly wrestler?
    Do you wrestle in the male league? Or are you a woman? Or is there a gender diverse league?

    Would love to know more about your sport pal.

    Thanks

    That sounds like a quote made by someone that couldn't handle being told what to do.

    Here's my quote

    "There are two types of people in this world. Those who can manage and those that wish they could manage."

    Hey brother neels,

    Great observation, very impressive.

    Look I'll have to admit, in my time I've had one difficult team member that I couldn't get in line. Luckily I told him to have a crack, he did. I fired him for punching me. I won that fight using my biggest muscle ( my brain).

    I do look back at this incident as a fail on my part. Since then I have strived to be better.

    Cheers

    Can't help thinking you might have deserved it.

    You must have got your pronouns mixed up then, I took 'them' as meaning more than one.

    Neels, I would like you to get to know me before you judge me. Why do you think I would deserve a punch?

    This particular ex employee had multiple personalities so they/them/shim/her /him are appropriate.

    Correct!

    I believe that was an attempt at an insult . If you had the mass of the largest "womb broom" ever recorded it would be lucky to be 1/4 of the size of an average brain.

    I have heard the rumours jelly wrestler.
    Apparently it's not fat that makes you tip the scales. It's that fact you are so intelligent your brains seem to leak down into your stomach.

    It's refreshing to have a nice Intelligent debate with a legend such as yourself.

    I think the debate is over, Kb2020dope.
    I have read your replies on that other thread and you are in the deep stuff now. Who is accepting your argument? your point of view?

    Remember my previous quote, "the fool and fanatic are so sure of themselves while the wise continue to question"?????

    That is how you come across.....the fanatic.

    I pity the poor souls that have to work under you.

    I remember I once worked in a place where there were two thousand good men under me......I was a grave digger and none of those poor bastards answered me back either.
