Beyond a joke!
Yesterday (Apr 29th) I spent the day trying to sort out a new supplier order because I am the only person capable of doing it. It took me all day as I kept getting asked this and that by Tom, Dick and Harry.
Today I have spent in the Workshop trying to clear the backlog of equipment repairs that haven’t been done by our 2 Engineers. In between that I have our Driver complaining that I think they are skiving, so I have to type notes again so that I don’t forget what was said, and I also have a member of staff who’s relationship is on the rocks and they might have taken up drinking copious amounts of alcohol to combat the pain and anguish. I’m sure I could smell it on them yesterday. Due to this I have to contact HR as it is a Health and Safety issue...but remember I’m supposed to be sorting in the Workshop all day...making my backlog of ‘normal’ work even greater!!!
The Gaffer goes out and almost immediately the Sales Rep is on a personal call to his other half discussing holidays in June/July, after getting in late this morning! Yeah yeah, they might have had an early start yesterday, but they also left the place for THREE WHOLE FUCKING HOURS over lunch, and then left at 15:30 to go home...
Now, here’s where this little rant became a large concern. The Sales Rep came out into the Workshop and said ‘Come here’ (beckoning to the office). He whispered in my ear ‘pretend it’s a piece of kit and you know what I mean’.
I thought he was leading me to the Showroom to show me a Customers piece of kit that maybe they were being daft about. Oh no...he’s leading me to his computer where he’s watching a YouTube video of some Air Rifle shooting (the only slight thing we have in common).
I’m working my fucking knackers off here trying to catch up on stuff that I can’t catch up on because I keep wiping everybody else' arses for them, yet those who toss the fuck off like this get the same recognition!!!
