Things that give you the sh1ts

My issue Here is that any sort of change the workers take it as a personal dig
“Oh we used to do this, why can’t we still do it”. I’ll tell you why, it’s have it so bloody easy for 112 years and now they just want you to be a little accountable.

Settle mate.
Getting some government workers just to turn up on time is a struggle.

From personal experience, I have to agree

[woodublieve12]

HH3 this your fave part too?

[amber_fluid]

I approve every annual leave request on the spot because it's easier to get all the work done by myself.

I even suggest they take more than they want.

At 2pm...

Mary "I need to leave at 4pm today."

HH3 - "Just go now"

Did you get a blowie for your kindness?

A mouths a mouth..

But no.

C’mon mate,
It’s friday before a long weekend
Relax, unwind and..................

I was one of the first private sector workers to replace public sectors workers in the last 90's when the then SA government outsourced the non-essential services.

The bloke who trained me was on light duties, he'd been on them for over 15 years, he couldn't carry anything over 3kg. He basically sat in the corner of the lunch room and waited for the red 3kg Australia Post bags to arrive and he'd put them in a little trolley with a basket on it and take it to the recipient. He would dead set walk along pushing a trolley with two bags in it, even if they were just paper work.

At 9:30, smoko, yep, he got breaks. At 10:30 into the kitchen for a milk shake with the old lady who did the liquid meals for patients. Yep, just after smoko and it didn't matter what he was doing, he went for a milkshake.

Then lunch. Yep, he took lunch. Around 2, he finished at 3, he'd go and sit under the same tree, on the same bench and chat with one of the senior nurses who went out for her smoke at 2. Like ******* clock work.

Finished at 3, plum tuckered.

There was 27 people in the department when I started, by the time I was managing the area we were down to 14 and we did **** all most of the day.

True story coming up.

Mary (3rd year in accounts) - "This account needs to be set up"

HH3 - "Ok"

Mary - "Who's going to do it?"

HH3 - "You."

Mary - "Why do I have to do it?"

HH3 - "Because you're accounts."

Pretty similar story to what I was leading to with technology and people not moving with it.

One of the sites I manage is a small country pool which was threatened by the local council to be shut down because of the rising costs of staff wages to operate.

No ******* wonder, the pool had a $100k automatic dosage system yet it was taking two full time pool operators to operate a pool that ran for 5 months a year and only got 5000 visits a year. To put in perspective the Elizabeth Aquadome has one full time pool operator and they receive over 5000 visits a week and is one of the best operated pools in the country.

As the dosage system had small issues (which all pools do) they decided they would not get them fixed and go back to their preferred method of manually doing EVERYTHING. No wonder it was taking them 76 working hours a bloody week to keep the pool operating. The Council kept the pool open on the proviso that my organisation managed it and we were able to make some reduction in its running costs. Lets put it this way it was losing a shit tonne of money considering it was only operating 5 months of the year.

I have come in and for $5k have the system operating as it should AUTOMATICALLY. Amongst my other jobs I only now need to be at the centre for a maximum of 4-5 hours a week and the pool is in the best condition of its life, including passing with flying colours multiple Safework audits and Royal Life audits.

The pools future is now secured and the Council have now put considerable money into it developing it further.

This isn't good enough for some people though and we are absolute crooks because we wont let the other staff members operate it manually. They both still have jobs at the pool but in a different capacity. Oh and we forced the staff members how to learn how to use a computer till system rather than continue to let them serve out of a bumbag and pen and paper.

You've got two choices, move with technology or have no bloody pool.

Little bit similar...

a while back while standing with the leading hand electrician underneath a broken fluro

Me: I've changed the fluro and still doesn't work
him: ok,
me: can you fix it while you are here?
him: why me?
me: you are an electrician and you are here, it's only a small job
him: Nah, when I get back to the workshop i'll find someone else to fix it..
Me:

This same bloke will happily come and fix a light for a call in, but has zero interest during work hours...

Yep, there's definitely something about her.

[HH3]

Just had Booneys rep hand me an order one of his customers gave him.

The email had a picture attached of the box showing the product label, with every detail imaginable.

He hands me the order and says "I'll offload this one on you because you'll know what they want."

I gave him a small jab about being a dense c**t and then looked on their file.

Brand new customer he's only just quoted. They've had one order EVER. And that order is for the exact thing they've just reordered.

It was pretty tough to figure out what they wanted.....

I had to teach all the blokes on my site how to use an app on their ipads... Dear lord

Is that all, HH3 has to wipe their ar$e as well.

... with an iPad? I knew apple products had to be useful for something!
