The Hesford Diet
Striker
I've often found that the owners or directors or those at the top of the management tree ate canny enough. The current top bod where I work loves his football and chats regularly about football, work, and that.
It's team leaders who become section managers, then departmental managers and so on, that management middle layer, who are more likely to alienate the workforce. Most of them, in my experience, have been sound, but a higher proportion of them have been arseholes than other areas of staff.
I'm well rewarded for what I do, and I enjoy being at work (it's probably the only thing keeping me sane) because of what I do, and get on well with everyone. I'm much more inclined to do that much more for them than when I was doing night shifts in the Tesco warehouse and some cocky little gobshite team leader was throwing his weight around.
