id say youd better go there.. lol!

lol when i got back from helping her i told my boss that he has one fine looking daugther, he laughed & said yea she has a big welsh rugby boyfriend who would kick my arse lol, he has a younger daugther to whos 17 which i haven't had the privilege of meeting yet but will do soon :kiss:
 
My boss is decent. He leaves us to do the work, days off are no problem, he usually buys lunch now and again and he wouldn't sell us out to the brass.

Can't complain at all tbh.

Remember even if you own the company or are the manager you still have a boss... customer/share holders/execs etc etc :)

My boss is sound. I only see him a few times a year but we go drink some beers and have a laugh. I would not work in a job where micromanagement or excessive pressure was practiced.

Unfortunatley I'm in this situation, Micromanagement is awful, Track the vans, allocate our work, tell us how long it will take and in what order we do it. Get shouted at for Leaving late, or leaving early, or having a couple of minutes too much break.

Or leave the van idling for more than 2 minutes you get a phone call.

Its rediculous.... They dont seem to understand that if they upset all the engineers, they will leave, and you will have no work...

And especially the fact that the office has moved to manchester, and the people who "schedule" each engineers work, have no idea about what we can and cant do, no idea how far apart jobs are and are generally useless! It isnt uncommon for me to travel 100 - 250 miles in a day. Just because the guy who schedules the work for the southwest doesnt have a fucking clue!

But that is part of working for the biggest electrical/mechanical company in england i suppose

My boss is quality tbh, never gets pissy with me, if I mess up (i quoted something that was 380 a day for 380 for 3 days by mistake) he never got mad or anything gives me time off if i need it, rarely work full days, usually 7 - 1 or 2 - 5 or something stupid it's a great job lol..

Not really the boss, but the company policy is a twat lol

I will be getting a verbal warning for having 2 occasions sick in the last year :mad: I mean ffs if your sick your sick!! and i will now miss 6 months of next years bonus :( what a load of bollocks!! lol

That does sound really harsh!

I only see my manager once a week so it's ok.... although when i do need to speak to him i can never get hold of him!

I re-typed it as i was just a little pissed off. Yep i am across the other side of the offic and all i here shouted when i was on the phone to a customer was "SHAKIRA WHAT ARE YOU DOING" everyone had to tell him i was on a call. Luckley i am behind a pillar and gave him the finger which made me feel a little better.. lol

Piss in his morning coffee. Shakira 1 - 0 Boss

That is something that also pisses me off. If your sick you cant help it, so do they want you to go in and give your sickness to everyone else so that there is every member o0f staff off with the illness....

Biggest oil company in the world is exxon mobil, although not sure if they have pulled out of the uk so I'd say shell.

Exxon mobil still operate in the UK. Mainly in refineries down south, Fawley Refinery in Southampton being one where they are involved most. We do a fair bit of work for them.
