Red face Complain And You're Sacked!!

The latest Euro madness.

The boss of the appropriately named Nutzwerk has introduced thought control at work. Criticism and 'negative thinking' is in the employment contract as a sacking offence.

"If you vant to have fun in your company, and you vant to reach zee big target you have no chance if your employees are alvays angry," she says, leering broadly. "Zey vaste time, and zey vaste zee company's time. Zerefore ve terminate zem!!"

"I don't feel I'm being watched, or observed in the office. I am always like this, I laugh and I like laughing. It's good for your character, happiness is very important." Said one frightened employee very loudly.

"I hope zat ven you leave our company now, you have zee good feeling, ya??" grinned Ramona Wonneberger, as I was saying goodbye. "Remember ve vill be monitering you..."

How long before Blair makes this UK law, compulsory for all citizens?

Be Afraid...

You really are a complete idiot.
In the contract of employment which employees CHOOSE to sign, they agree that must also offer a positive suggestion if they choose to complain.

You could learn from this!

Constructive suggestions for your thread -

1. Learn to read
2. Go kill yourself

Hardly - I own that sad crack head he follows me around like a lost puppy, but he's too stoned to realise that I'm not interested.

Not a bad idea though really, complaining is a major problem at my work and thats depsite the fact there is a monthly meeting where moans and groans can be spoken about and answered. Too be fair there are often suggestions to go with the complaints but some of them aren't very well thought out.

Not that I never complain myself!

What do you think happens if a prospective employee chooses not to sign their contract? (Hint: the outcome is the same as if they actually had been sacked).

Try again dimbo.
My point is if you don't like the policy of the company, don't go and work there in the first place. It's not that difficult to understand.

Sounds like more pc cr@p.

Has anyone heard of Dave Anderson, he is an American businessman turned trainer/presenter/motivational speaker. He set up and ran the most successful and largest Toyota (i think it was Toyota)dealerships in LA. so knows a bit about business

I have had the pleaseure of hearing him speak at two events on pc in the workplace and how it affects business and life in general. It is well worth a listen if you get the chance, also has a good book about this subject.
Main points are that is that he has a problem with PC and how it rewards no achievers in the way it does achievers.

I get to see lots of these life coaches and motivational speakers working in live events but Dave was one that made me sit up and take note.

Well there goes Suresh demonstrating his lack of maturity again. Have you ever thought about having a balanced discussion without the histrionics? It just demonstrates your lack of confdence in having a significant argument.

Thank you for sharing your opinion Leslie. It's really great to read your self-important and blanced view on almost every topic. Scoobynet wouldn't be the same without it.

This 'Suresh' character does sound like he or she has 'issues'

Comes over as a cry for help. Perhaps he needs a girl/boy friend. Certainly must be a very lonely person.

He wouldn't last long at Nutzwerk with his attitude.

To be fair, most companies in the UK operate this rule anyway

What generally happens to complainers?

According to Mrs Wonneberger, the company's turnover has doubled since the anti-whingeing policy was introduced

If you lot aside your usual arguing Suresh's point is very valid. When deciding if they want to take a job they get given the contract. If they don't like it they don't work there!!

I can see your point, but many companies say 1 thing on a contract and do another. And its hardly wise to start complaining after 2 weeks is it. It depends if you are willing to tolerate it though. Or will you just continue to work there until alternative employment turns up.
