I think I'm in the shit at w*rk.
A few weeks ago I was asked to represent the Admin & Finance department in a "employee forum". My boss asked me because he knew I would "say somnething". And naturally I did.
Now personnel are not so hot in producing minutes of such meetings (as I found out). So I chased them up - especially when all sorts of excuses started to be made such as "it was an informal meeting"; "I didn't take notes of everything because they were historic problems" and "I will send the minutes when the managers have approved them!". So much for it being a platform for informing management of workplace issues.
Anyway I have not endeared myself to personnel or the new General Manager of our site by speaking up.
Neither have I endeared myself to my manager by subsequently joining the union and not informing personnel that I've done so.
Then again management have not endeared themselves to the staff by mishandling communication about not having a pay rise and banning staff from using the internet unless visiting "approved sites".
Personnel were on site today and all three had a short conflab in my manager's office.
My guess is shit could hit the fan tomorrow when personnel returns.
And guess what? I don't give a shit.
In any case "you can't get me I'm part of the union!!!!"
