Post 12, FFS standards are slipping
Lass that worked for me at my last place was up on possession with intent charges, eventually downgraded to possession and she got community service.
She was a train wreck at that time, alcoholic, totally chaotic life outside of work, but there was something there and myself and another manager put ourselves on the line and vouched for her.
Got herself into AA, cut out the toxic people in her life, totally sorted herelf out - she's now an Associate Director.
When I left that place just under 2 years ago I'd had to lay off a team of 35 I'd worked with for over a decade, bring on board their replacements in India and Argentina, all while knowing that at the end I'd be going as well.
There's a reason I took a non supervisory role afterwards, it utterly drained me.
I bet it was, you dirty boy
fair enough, I was in a pissed off frame of mind when I typed that. I am not apologizing for it, but there was no need. Most times, I just blow comments like that off because there's no point responding.
Whoa whoa whoa, wait there
It will be interesting at work tomorrow
The you go, fella

Aye, best I have worked under were actually democratic and not autocratic except occasinally meant similar type of sub leaders gravitated as like draws like.
Fantastic team, great times.
Yep it drains those who actually give a shit, when you have given it your all, think no more of that for a time. I will just do x not y for a time, then if money ok and managing think fuck it will just carry on as I am

Can well imagine mate. Fair play to you and respect.
Worst ever for me was two girls leaving late in my team to go the college.
I was working late and could here ambulance sirens. Unknown at the time their car was run into by a bloke retrieving his phone in the footwell.
He died and was being followed by his Wife.
One of the girls dead and the other went through the windscreen in intensive care.
Got a call that night from the Brother of the girl in hospital and had to inform the MD on what had happened as the next day a “normal” working day.
As you can imagine is was tragic and I managed to get our team through it, funeral and all. Lisa survived thankfully and got married.
The saddest moment of all though was when Sam’s Dad came into the office and wanted to see me. Was told he was in my bosses office so I walked him.
When he said Sam loved working for you and said you a great guy I simply broke down in tears. To lose your Daughter like that.
Without doubt the toughest work situation I have ever had to deal with and hopefully won’t have to again.

If you treat these as role models and develop your own behaviour accordingly you won’t go far wrong.
I treat work and home life separately that helps.
Out of work revert to big kid mode. You have to learn to switch off and I have got better at this, even more so being a little OCD at work.

Life changes in a heartbeat mate.
Live every day and cherish what you have.
You don’t need me to tell you that getting older is like being in a car with the accelerator down.
Some great people on here like and why I have stayed around.

Agreed fella, only a finite amount of time here and no trial runs. The only easy day was yesterday, so live it like no tomorrow and enjoy life at all stages. No regrets and lots of happiness both given and taken, make a memory of you and yours.

Threads like that set the gold standard. Thank you so much for sharing.
You will find that here in the US it is rare for an employer to involve the police. It's easier to just let them go and be done with it.

I did some of the research, yes. And that Gold thread was shared with me by @chunkylover53 yesterday. Loved it.
May. May I have a job. Disqualified for horrible grammar.
Nothing, really, just something that was discovered as part of the research. Just an insight for me as to why an outstanding employee for 5+ years would risk her job for someone. I've met her husband at work events in the past and he was very nice, but of course, I have no idea what their marriage is like at home. Obviously, issues if she was having an affair with this other man. But that's an issue for another thread that someone else can start.

That's only when spoken, by the way. The way you fuckers write on here sometimes is f***ing appalling.
I don't know, it's different for me. Even when I am letting someone who that truly deserves it, it still bothers me. I can't help but feel responsible for their situation even though it is clearly their own doing.
