Left Back Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 There were some redundancies at my work last week. No-one in management has called them redundancies though. Various themes on "some people have exited the business due to a course correction we had to take". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 1 hour ago, MEADOWXI said: Next staff suggestion this be renamed Talent Investment Team We had that - a section was renamed and I forget what it actually stood for, but the acronym was ARSE. I remember pointing the fact out in a meeting. Caused a moment of alarm among the suits who obviously hadn't thought about it but countered with "It's fine...nobody will actually call it that..." Don't kid yourself. The people in the section took great delight in explaining away delays by claiming the ARSE was experiencing a logjam. The new name lasted about a fortnight before they changed it to something less...arsey. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParsJake Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 In my days of working in psychiatric hospitals I was having quick look at internal job adverts and they were advertising for a Senior High Intensity Therapist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work for a company which for a while tried calling redundancies “external growth opportunities”. They’d switched back to “layoffs” by the time I got flushed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more plausible than it first sounds. Some choob will have set up promo messages to be generated for publicly recognised days in Germany, but won't have been smart enough to check for situations like this. It'll just be a template that fires off in line with a calendar saved on a system somewhere. Really stupid, and someone will get their jotters, but probably not some Nazi sympathiser trying to use chicken to celebrate the Holocaust, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what happened according to the report I read on the BBC website. Not good enough and somebody will surely be looking for a new joab as we speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 The wife and I are both working from home today and tomorrow. She is in a virtual conference on employment law. Less than 5 minutes in, and it is a festival of corporate nonsense. "I have marinaded in employment law for over 30 years now..." 2 days of listening to this pish, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
