My Manager does bird impressions, at times you'd swear there was a Tit in the room with you.

Without getting into too much detail, I'm shit at my job... Official.

It's no longer good enough to work in three technical teams, cover two Out OF Hour slots and help implement an entire new way of working that will effect every worker, manager, engineer and customer within the department.

What REALLY counts is the ability to hide in dark corners and not get involved in ANY issues........ oh, and not to tell ya boss that he has the managerial expertise of Bert & Ernie and couldn't find his own arse with both hands.

I'm now on a "Redundancy" list. Heavens forbid if there's a world wide recession and they decide to get rid of a percentage of the staff here.

Of course that would only happen if there was some kind of Credit crisis that escalated causing the stock markets to panic creating a free fall in shares with billions of $'s being wiped off the value of major firms worldwide.......

Not much chance of that happening then........

Bert & Ernie, with help from Mr Snuffalufagus are the brains of this outfit

Hang on?! The day after I send you my CV 'cos I'm being made redundant, they put YOU on a redundancy list?

Shit.

Does that mean there's real grounds for worry, or is it just their way of putting the wind up you every once in a while?

no need to worry, probably. The PBC results system is a way of grading employees, 1 to 4. One is brown-nose/relative/sexual partner... then there's 2, 2+ , 3 and 4.

Every department is given so many 1, 2, 2+, 3 and 4 to fling at people all at the managers whim. Grades are decided before consultation with the employee.

if ya on a 3 you're effectivly put on a list and will be the first to go is there's redundancies going on.

It's not unknown for departments to be told "get rid of a non manager" when things are tight.

What if you're a 4 - do they just shoot you?

Just think that 3 makes you more interesting. Still bet that 'Haley' from Corrie fella didn't get a slap, or a compulsory breast reduction for his crapness!! (speaking in code I don't fancy a slander case against me)

Chin up mate. Otherwise they'll have nothing to aim at.
