Besty 4 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Wish I had the week off, getting tedious this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6613 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Must be about 80% of admin staff at my hospital off this week as they 'cant get in!' Funnily enough we havent had one nurse not make it in yet. Too many work shy bastards these days. I bet if they didnt get paid for being off they would sharp turn up! I was just thinking the same myself today. Different breed these days. We have a girl that walks to work in about 15 minutes and as soon as there is any sign of snow she cant make it in "as its too dangerous". Nothing you can do these days though. As a generation we are generally all soft as shite. God help world when the next lot are ruling. Edit: I've gone all Leazes in the above.

NJS 4389 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 If the place is still functional without them, I guess that's one way of prioritising who gets the boot when the cuts kick in... I was out on a leaving do tonight so stayed anyway but the number of cunts who'd fucked off by 4 was a disgrace (even to my "I'm looking for another job so don't give a fuck anyway" mentality) Downsizing sorted in one day as you say.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 You're right about people being a bit too sharp to say they're can't come in, like snow is their kryptonite. Personally, I hate driving in it so walked and got the Metro in today. For those who live out in the sticks it's a mare though. Saying that though, we've got a lass who's been getting in from Amble every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44993 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Got stuck in my street today. Took half an hour trying to get out and ended up diagonal across the road, then spent half an hour trying to get back in a parking position, before walking to the metro station. Big shout out to the two tiny schoolkids who offered to help push my car. Big fans so I know they'll be reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 337 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I'm working the next two nights (providing I make it there on public transport) Think I'm going to stay at my parents in between because by the time I make it home in the morning it'll nearly be time to go back.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I don't want to turn this into a North-South thing (ok, maybe I am) but all I see on here is people saying it's a pain in the arse but still finding a way of getting in or round it. Whilst now it's hit the south and the news are covering it all I'm hearing is people giving up and staying at home.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst now it's hit the south and the news are covering it all I'm hearing is people giving up and staying at home.. I am at work as the trains are running fine but on the whole I think if you are set up for home working which we are then it does make sense to do so. Last year when the snow first hit I didn't get in till noon whereas on the following days when I did stay home I could do a full days work. I enjoy the jibes about people being soft but in 2010 home working should be encouraged imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, don't get me wrong, it's easy to do stuff at home now you're right and I would say if you're set up to do the same work you do from coming in at home then stay home. However, how many people are really set up to do that? I'm only having a dig at those who are half arsed and looking for an excuse, we've all got them in every workplace..
