ossieram Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Been at the same company for over 12 years driving counter balance and reach fork trucks. Thinking that I need a change now. I've been driving fork trucks for years on and off but also had 6 years putting up Marquees and also had 5 years driving a 7.5 tonne for Parcel force. The company I work for is a massive global company but is run by idiots at local level who think investing in decent workers or tools is a waste of money.

LesterRam Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Can I ask, of the people that work for companies, have you had a pay rise within the last few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have but it has been something like 1.5% and the negotiations just to get that has taken something like 6 months and then they talk about reducing staffing levels to finance it for the warehouse workers. All salaried staff get given a similar percentage rise as us but that means the differential in monetary terms grows bigger each year and the amount of office staff seems to grow no matter what.

Ovis aries Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It does not take long after you start your working life to work out that the ones that do the least work get the most money. This will never alter so you just have to suck it up or go into the woods and become a spoon whittler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have definately come across some examples in my career of this, however i dont think everyone is the same. My old boss was what i would call a delegator, he managed a team of people and delegated work out, he hardly ever had paper on his desk or could be seen to 'producing' a piece of work as such and I know that people used to say he did nothing, but his work was knowing who within his team could do the right piece of work required, or what their workload was, he would spend hours and hours doing 1-2-1's and ensuring people had the tools, training etc to do the jobs he was delegating. He also spent a lot of time travelling to head office, staying over, and yes a lot of people saw that as he was always going on jollys, but i know from personal experience he was selling his team to the higher management, and this did really well for me and helped me enhance my career, i wish he has been my manager when i was recently taken over as i may well have survived.
