Had to do all this personal performance garbage at my last place of work, it was blindingly easy in reality - if you were crap at your job customers hated you and requested you didn't ever be sent back, never happened to me.
However that wasn't enough for our Wisconsin based HR dept, who showered us with all kinds of online questionnaires and forms, which we all duly ignored, and telling these twats you don't like people wasting your time didn't work - you occupied their time and justified their job so that made it ok. Everyone was so busy filling in forms etc they forgot we were in business to make money and said business went tits up and I was made redundant. Pure class.

It must be the American thing then Deegee, my company is American owned as well.

Actually iirc it was a French company that took over Deegee's old company.? (sorry Cookie (blush) ).

:? Then again, I may be mistaken.

StM, the business was American owned, however the entire Emea slice of the globe was run by the French (a company that the Americans bought out and were then left in charge), they screwed the business up and the MD in the States stood by and let them do it, worldwide it prevented product shortages by allowing France to mismanage our area and drop sales so that Brazilian and Chinese markets were easily established with no shortages due to competing for a fixed amount of product in an expanding market.


Kiwikrasher - remember the two cows joke?

The American Corporation business model.
You have two cows, You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you form a focus group to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.

I stopped laughing at that one, as I realised it was so tragically correct.

Going to put some more miles on the GS.

First time with a pillion on that bike, so should be interesting how the electronic suspension changes things.

Your health is more important. Don't rush back.

I'm wondering how it's only Wednesday.

On the plus side I'm off to a gig with Beermonster tonight (rock)

Lol yes mate got the right doctors, my blood pressure is up again which I already take medication for but need to monitor it, and she took quite a bit of blood so back home now for breakfast, it's funny really but normally I don't eat late at night but when the doctor tells you no food or drink after 10pm the night before your blood tests your bloody starving lol

looking forward to finishing work and relaxing in front of the tv and being lazy as last night was rather mental as had to get the geckos back to the vets see how the medicine is working, good news is it is so that rules out any more serious diseases too which is good so fingers crossed they pull through ok
