A clear desk policy, basically we all have our own desks but we’re not allowed anything on them other than a computer.
Absolutely no reason for it, we don’t have a cleaner and clean up after ourselves. Lad got disciplined for having a photo of his kids on his desk. So we photoshopped a load of kids pictures with the managers face on the night before and left them all over the managers desk while he was in the disciplinary meeting. Manager moved on soon after. Policy still in place mind.
That’s weak management like.If I don't like a rule in the workplace I just don't abide by it, I remember once I got took into the naughty office and told I had to start following the rules like everyone else, I said no. They said ok fair enough and let me go without a warning or anything and I carried on as per usual. They cant do shit man, unless you do misconduct you cant get a warning. Tell them you are not wearing a name badge because you don't want to and watch what they do, they will take you in the office and attempt to tell you off but just say 'no' and that will be the end of the matter.
I sacked a lad a few days ago for being off his tits at work. I would generally give someone a second chance but he was a wrangun
The last site I was at in Kazakhstan had a zero tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol with mandatory breath tests every morning plus random screening during the day. The accommodation facility had two bars selling Efes at around 90p a pint. One of the managers told me it's government regs, they have to provide 'x' facilities per head of occupation. Gyms, football pitches, night clubs.... madness. We were up at 4:45, who the fuck would go to a nightclub?We’re not supposed to drink during working hours yet have two staff bars on site which are open during the day. Well, technically only one of them is open at a time; one’s a summer bar, the other a winter bar.
I'm considering banning mobiles at my place. They get on my tits. The lads are constantly being harassed by their partners for menial reasons. Whats wrang with these Women? Cant they cope on their own for a few hours?
Christ, I used to gan away to work for weeks on end, with no real contact with home avaialble. No phones, no internet, no nowt apart from written letters, and SSB radio. My Mrs just got on with it.
This country is fucked.......
I hate now.That was then, this is now, you dinosaur.
I hate now.
You heartless bastard.Tough shit.
We send the same 3 reports throughout the day (obviously updated every 8 hours) but the send to has to be in a certain order on the to and CC list.The last accountancy form I worked for had a rule that all emails must be checked by a manager or a partner before sending. Partners were the only ones allowed to send emails unchecked. I was a qualified Chartered Accountant and needed to get someone to check the wording on my emails FFS.
What made it worse was that the reason for the rule was that one of the partners had accidentally clicked “reply all” instead of reply and insulted a client who then went to another firm - this rule wasn’t going to prevent something like that happening again!

We also had a clear desk policy. That lasted for about a week when our floor was renovated and then everyone stopped caring.
We were supposed to lock our laptops away in lockers and male sure we didn’t have any papers or documents left out. We had to wear our passes with our photos at all times when in the office (part of a H&S drive, not sure how wearing a pass will stop me injuring myself).
That all went out the window when the director who brought in those ideas got the push. Utter jobsworth and completely incompetent to boot.
Currently we don’t have any stupid rules I can think of.
Where I used to work tried to make everyone taking calls to be there 10 minutes before their shift started. They didn't want to pay them extra though.
The idiotic little manager they employed thought they should work for nowt.
