Companies good or bad?

Companies Good or Bad?

Companies good or bad, why ask the question?
Having been involved, in a takeover in the last year or so it seems that there are oddities in the way things happen in a company.
It could just be the way that things are done here in the U.K.
The takeover itself was rather strange, lots of secrecy, visits from so called insurance men, no consultation from either side, none of us were asked if we wanted to work for the new guys, take over date pushed back a couple of times, along with the rest of the team, I walked in on handover day not knowing what to expect, and who my new boss would be or any of the new company procedures.
On a Friday at 5.00pm I was handed a list of suppliers ,no account code or contact details and expected to produce meals for our guests. Just for clarity we are talking about an hotel here folks.
A year or more down the line we have several new layers of bosses, in a trade where local suppliers and produce are a good thing most of the old suppliers have been ditched usually at short notice.
Head office calls meeting’s at short notice with no respect for the employees time.
Implementing new ideas and positive changes is a slow and pain staking affair.
Staff on minimum wage get annual pay rises, remember these tend to be low skill jobs, those of us on salary don’t we have invested time in learning our craft , gaining relevant qualifications.
In the quieter times ,the long term staff are supposed to take holidays ,while not having the staffing to maintain service levels.
So what was expected by us the staff?
Basically a more structured approach to business, clear lines of communication, and efficiency ,did this happen no!
Recently the manager was criticised by his boss for selling too cheaply, so what happens next, accommodation being
Sold at £12.50 per person per night for b+b surely this contradictory?
Maybe this can only happen in the Uk

Accountants and Hotels A Baad Mix

Accountants and Hotels A Bad Mix.

Here’s how a dictionary defines accountant
One that keeps, audits, and inspects the financial records of individuals or business concerns and prepares financial and tax reports.
I however have a different definition.
Dull unimaginative as**le, one who’s sole purpose in life is to count things.
Generally grey in dress and thought.
With a nod to Oscar Wilde ,one who knows the cost of everything, but the value of nothing.

Yes I hate these guys who have in the main tries to ruin what was once a fun industry to work in.
Trying to mix accountants with hotels is bad in that hotel staff are generally creative, well some of us anyway, and accountants well aren’t.
These people who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing have come up with a great scheme to feed people on buttons (£2.50) a head ,while at the same time throwing in all the drink you can drink ,for £25 a night.
Great you may think, not so.
Consider that at this cost hotels are now open to some with no social skills sober, add in the free drink and I shudder to think at the outcome.
What quality of food and service will be available at this kind of rate?
If guests are getting everything they need included what does this leave for the economy of the town that the hotel is based in?
Some papers ,maybe some headache tablets or hangover cures, surely there should be something for other local businesses as no company exists in a vacuum.
Given that the Uk government is trying to promote responsible drinking, how does this idea square with that .
Are we really trying to cater to lager louts and pissheads, as a market segment?
What kind of money is going to be left to pay staff, mainly minimum wage poorly paid harassed and unmotivated, or migrant workers from eastern European states, a good advert for Uk tourism come to Britain and be served by someone who can’t speak English that well, I can’t either but that’s mainly grammar.
The catering industry was starting to make some progress thanks to the efforts of guys like Gordon Ramsay, Gary Rhodes ,Rick Stein and others but it looks like the budget end is going backwards

Women Mans Only Natural Predator

There are several types of women you will encounter as you go through life as a man.
Firstly and naturally there’s your mother.
This is the woman who gave you life, and nurtured you, so you admire her, WRONG!
Secretly the bitch is grooming you for other women to manipulate you all your life.
So that your girlfriends and eventually your wife will rule you entirely.
You think that this feeding mending your clothes and organising your life is kindness.
Wrong again, this is the way that the sisterhood programmes you as a man to let a woman run your life if she gives you these stimuli.
Next you are passed over to teachers, again mainly women who perpetuate the myth that women are caregivers and warm and cuddly.
So you pass into high school and notice these sweet smelling creatures ,who are not related to you ,and being full of hormones and being ruled by little head ,you find your very first girlfriend.
You think that you chose her, well think again it was the women who singled you out as a possible meal ticket.
So off you go to college, and you may have the same or a new girlfriend, if you dumped the previous model you have been fooled into thinking it was your choice, not so.
It was of course the young women who was through with you, having decided ,that you were not suitable husband material.
Could be she had not as yet developed the skills needed to mould you as she desired.
It could also be that like a magnificent stallion you had not been broken(tamed) yet.
So as a mere male you then enter the workforce ,now you are in serious trouble, this is when you in your prime earning years ,are the equivalent of big game ,to the female of the species.
Every women knows that men are simple creatures ,needing only to be well fed, reasonably well dressed and allowed some spending money.
Notice how when things get serious with your girl, she decides which of your friends you can keep, notice how she picks your wardrobe, and how she make friends with your mother all part of the plan to emasculate you and keep you down trodden.
So let this be a warning to all young men out there.
Stay wild and free as long as you can.
WOMEN are dangerous.

Dog Or Woman Which One Is Mans Friend?

A dog may well be mans best friend.
No dog has ever complained when you roll home from the pub rat arsed, well not unless you are really well gone and hallucinating.
A dog is always ,always happy to see you, and doesn’t judge you in any way.
I have never had to feed a dog drink to get it to like me yet, nor does it complain when ,you crack one of or complain about you getting drunk with your friends.
On pay day no dog will demand you hand over your wages.
No dog complains if you look at other women, nor can a dog read your mind as some women can
A dog doesn't demand a new washing machine ,dishwasher or spend a fortune on cosmetics.
There are of course one or two areas where a wife or girlfriend tops a dog.
Women can cook, it’s as yet illegal to have sex with a dog, apart from some hillbillies nobody really wants to.
No dog will call in sick and lie for you ,women also come in handy for ironing as well.
Women in the main do not demand to be taken out for a walk in the pissing rain, or shake their wet coats all over the house, there may be some exceptions to this of course.
You can’t take your dog to company parties ,but then again no dog runs of on you, they are faithful unlike some women.

Tony's Latest Wheeze To Squeeze The Proles

So Tony B liar has asked Wendy Alexander’s( the one with the trout pout, and a turbo mouth)brother to investigate road pricing.
Given that UK motorists pay £42 billion a year in taxes of which £6 billion is spent on maintenance and new road building, where the hell does the rest go?
The evil mastermind behind this must be Gordon the dip Brown, a barely reformed communist who quite clearly wants to tax us all rich ,poor and middling alike to death.
Looking at things closely it’s clear that labour hate motorists, David Begg ,has done his best to rid Edinburgh of motor vehicles.
Maybe commissar Blair and co want to return to the halcyon days when only the rich could afford to drive a car.
Maybe they don’t like the proles cluttering the road for old two jags Prescott, he obviously needs two jags to keep pace with his mistresses.
To whom does one apply in the US for a bit of friendly regime change when it’s needed?
E mail address and phone number please.
Think of the advantages for our colonial cousins, our chavs ,could give them plenty of guests for Jerry and Oprah ,and a bit of cannon fodder for the next invasion of an oil rich country, no need to teach them English, we speak nearly the same language anyway.
For us it would mean cheap oil and less taxes, although we couldn’t take any wet backs as we are now nearly full up with illegals anyway.
