1/ Get a ham and pease pudding stottie from the sandwich van.There’s a quite well known high end furniture manufacturer in Newcastle gets the lads on the bench to write down what they’re going to achieve every morning before they start.
Is there a bigger piece of shite in the workplace.
Despise it with a passion.. one good thing about contracting is not having to partake in the annual dance. ..
Trying to set mine for the upcoming year with an awkward boss .. meeting at half ten .
Could really do without it
Can be, agreed.Trying to give an objective review of someone's performance is incredibly difficult. These reviews are only really there to give employers more of a leg to stand on if they want to get rid of you easily. Can be completely fudged.
I have one weekly.. an hour in the calendar but normally done in 10 minutes..Fortnightly hour-long 1-2-1's. Those sixty minutesarewere the longest 4 hours of my life.
No more after today.
Somehow I don’t think that would be accepted by the owner.1/ Get a ham and pease pudding stottie from the sandwich van.

I don't give a big announcement. I just pull people in one by one, but I do that regularly anyway. Personally my lot always look forward to it because it gives them a bit of a break and, like I said Mowsy lad, I keep it very informal and it's just a friendly conversation.
And then look at it and say "What if I was judged and my continued employment all based on replying to 95% of queries?". Well then obviously you make that figure your major driver. Does the email require a response? No, reply anyway. Will this take a long time to do a decent response, possibly throwing your daily stats out? Yes, but it is in your interests to give a half arsed response.My role is mainly BAU so if the mailbox is kept on top of and people are replied to in a timely and professional manner then it's done . How do you manage that as a percentage . 95% of all queries are replied to within 24 hours?
So that's the metric.. but then how do you apply that metric considering I get 100+ emails a day and only some require responses..
Ball ache
That's me.. I'm not going to say I want your job . I'm winding down.I have zero ambition to progress any further up the ladder so I just say I want the team/company to achieve their goals so my goals are to play my part in that.
I don’t need managing, I’m not jockeying for anyone else’s position, if I have any issues I’ll raise them at the time rather than waiting for an annual review and I expect management to do the same for me.
Haha nice try mate but I have a class relationship with the people I work with. Reading this site it seems most people have got some chip on their shoulder about managers and what not which I find a bit sad. Aye there are some shite managers.They might give off that impression but..
I'm not . I'm permanent.. do Service managementWhat area are you contracting in Mate ?

Nah. Nicklin.Not M&Co is it ?
But the issue with those metrics is there is no measurement of quality.My role is mainly BAU so if the mailbox is kept on top of and people are replied to in a timely and professional manner then it's done . How do you manage that as a percentage . 95% of all queries are replied to within 24 hours?
