Not people’s names just that it was happening. It’s not good for anyone to have people getting treated differently, certainly not for the company because it creates cliques, divisions and resentment. Any manager worth anything would know that. Either that or they enjoy creating drama and are a bit sadistic and insecure. Aye but they didn't get caught you did, that's the difference. You don't go cliping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Aye but they didn't get caught you did, that's the difference. You don't go cliping.I think there’s two different scenarios here.If you have taken a chance and cut corners, left early etc and been caught when others haven’t then yes it’s wrong to bring other colleagues into it. But if management are already aware of others behavior then pulling you up for the same stuff without taking action against others then you should quite rightly be raging and question why you are being treated differently to others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Politics are rife in modern days offices, but there are ways round these situations.Firstly, ask someone senior in organisation (who you respect) to be a mentor, ensure over time you gain their trust and respect.Once first step is achieved, tell all others who annoy you to f**k right off; they won't dare to challenge as the Grand Poisson has your back.Lastly, go for as much coffee breaks as possible and wear a smile at all times- the payrise will arrive in due course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I work in a small office of 10 and one of the sales guys who used to do my role (not in sales) is a fucking grass.To quote big Trev Phillips in GTA5 'this snake would eat his own kids'. He's so far up the MD's arse he could probably see out his fucking mouth. He's constantly messaging him telling him what everyone is up to. How else would the MD make snide comments to certain individuals when he comes up from his mansion in Surrey? He always comments on what folk are wearing to work. It's a non-customer facing office job, like it fucking matters what folk are wearing. And he walks a certain way to the kitchen so he can see what's on certain people's screens. Then he's onto Skype right away when he gets back to his desk. There's an ex-Army guy who sits across from me, doesn't take any shite off anyone, who audibly calls him a grass, in earshot of him, which is some mild relief. The guy's a Ross County fan. So the above goes without saying really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say my job is normal as such, but it’s fairly common industry particularly if you reside in the north east of Scotland (which I don’t), that gifts a lot of time off and pays fairly well. Couple with a partner than earns pretty well and having no kids, I’d say I live a fairly decent life. Your mate @Bairnardo works for the same company, on a different site. I’m sure you’ll know the arrangements around his working life, for when nip round to see his wife. ETA... don’t associate me with people that work hard, because I definitely do not. I do as little as possible without arousing suspicion that I’m a lazy b*****d. Edited May 13, 2019 by MONKMAN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw the thread title I sighed to myself and thought "this is just going to be 5 pages of Ray McKinnon pictures" but now I've read the whole thread I'm a bit disappointed that there's not even one.
