So you colluded in this exploitation of the workers?dOh Nut wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:14 pm Sadly this sort of stuff is not new. When I worked in the clothing industry (20+ odd years ago) part of my role was to audit high street shops, including stock taking. The store managers complained then that they were penalised for shortages from, for example, shop lifting. Exceptionally harsh given their lack of ability to fully control the activities of criminals at all times and the then lack of technology to detect theft like door alarms.
"Management" felt such penalties focussed the mind in the store, promoting vigilance, and stopped staff from "borrowing" company stock.
Far from it. I found this type of approach totally crap. However, my job was auditing the store and in that my personal integrity ensured I did the job to the best of my ability in a truthful and honest manner. Don't mean I had to like it nor did it mean I would lie to cover up stock losses.Disoriented wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:25 pmSo you colluded in this exploitation of the workers?dOh Nut wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:14 pm Sadly this sort of stuff is not new.

Did you actively argue against this abhorrent practice though?dOh Nut wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:34 pmFar from it. I found this type of approach totally crap.

Yes. Never had an issue making my feelings known. Not then, not now. Don't mean I always got my way.Disoriented wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:36 pmDid you actively argue against this abhorrent practice though?dOh Nut wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:34 pmFar from it.

Believe it or not Directors (some) do get out and do real work sometimes. Stuff in the real world. Never afraid of donning the demin and climbing over racks for a stock count, keying orders, picking and packing, delivering parcels from our van fleet etc etc.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 8:06 pmHold up.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:14 pm Sadly this sort of stuff is not new.

As long has they don’t give away those sausage rolls - they are bad enough fresh.The Mindsweep wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:11 pm Plus all the large brands Starbucks, Costa, Nero etc, refuse to give unused sandwiches etc to shelters at the end of the day. They destroy them. Greggs do give them away when asked so I personally don't mind buying from them.
Absolutely Womble. Someone is getting rich by breaking the backs of the rest of us.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 10:11 pm Funnily enough, I looked up how much nero pay earlier and it’s basically minimum wage according to glass door. 23k for managers and they charge 2.80 for a f*cking flat white. Outrageous.
