Snowflakes, never met one before, but I've been moved to a new site and one of the lads here is an absolute baby, everyone else told me to tread on eggshells around him, but I'm currently waiting to go into a meeting with HR, what's put me in this position? I've asked him if he would take a VR package if offered one, to which he burst into tears and started shouting at me.

My gaffer knows his dad and has told me his old man is pulling his hair out with what to do with him.

When you said you were asking him whether he would take a VR package, was this in general conversation in the office (i.e. gauging wider opinion among your colleagues), or are you his line manager?

He was probably paranoid and you pushed him over the edge you big meanie! Outrageous that it’s got anywhere near a HR meeting!

There's been rumours for a while they're look at offering VR, and we were talking about it, how much they'd need to offer to go etc, and I just asked him as part of that. He's same level as me but I've he's only been here just over a year.

I'm the third person this year he's taken to HR, HR and union have basically said he's a trouble maker but they must be seen to be doing something,

Then it's time HR recognised that HIS behaviour could well be classified as bullying and/or harassment - see how the c**t likes that!

Precisely this.

I’d raise a bullying complaint against him.

Use his desk phone to ring sex lines.
Next time he needs a number, give him one for a classified offering something random
Take a screenshot of his desktop with toolbar and then hide his toolbar and watch him lose his head that he cant click anything.

Well, you know what they say, Karma's a bitch. Got a phone call of my boss about 10 minutes after I left work, the c**t who took me to HR has only gone and lost his keys.

I love the end of a packet of cereal. When my wife started eating the same cereal as me I always ensured that I got the end of the box but then I think she has the same opinion of it as you!

Management. Particularly management that feel they have to act a certain way and defend the company line all the time.

Just be normal, dickhead. We all want a working company. If your employees are moaning it’s probably something that should concern you not a behaviour management issue.

Once worked at a company where the 'management' team quite literally had a meeting at the end of every week to discuss us 'juniors'. The irony was that if they had spent as much time actually training us as they had meetings on us then not only would the meetings not be necessary; they might have done a little better.

Its fascinating isn’t it? I suspect a very similar psychological effect as this experiment occurs:

The words "uptick", "vacationers" (FFS!) and "staycation".

Despise them with a passion - along with the people who use them!

The misuse of staycation does my head in. If you're packing up the family and going to Devon you're not staying put dickhead, you're not just flying somewhere.

Thank you!

A staycation is in your house. A holiday in the U.K. is just a holiday.

This in general. Just make the packaging the correct size.

The trouble then is they design it in such a way that you can never get the last of the contents out of the packaging and being Dutch that keeps me awake at night fretting over it.

Been to a few shops now that insists on facemasks. That's fine I just put it on.

However, when you get to the checkout and there's one braindead gimp serving and a queue of about 15 people while the other braindead gimps stand about chatting and being dicks. It isn't a good thing.

On a hot day, struggling to breath through a mask in a queue while Forrest Gump figures out how to work a till on his own. Why don't they ever have the common sense to fill the tills and clear the queue to get people out of the shop?

Off that, long queues and staff doing anything other than clearing those queues. When I worked retail it was a given that if you were stocking shelves or something else that wasn’t urgent and customers were waiting you served the customers first. Even if the phone was ringing we were told in person customers come above everything.

Happens loads in one stop. One person serving, 5 pottering about and a 20 person queue.

As long as the tills are far enough apart / screened from one another / staff aren't being sent away from the customers because of underlying conditions, I'm with you.

As an aside (and I'll do my best to stop this being political, so I don't send us into Covid thread 2!) I get slightly annoyed at people kicking off about the infringement on their liberties to have to wear a mask.

My main gripe is, why is that the trigger to set them off? Forget being put under near house arrest for months etc... it's wearing a mask that seems to have some people furious about denial of liberties.

It just seems a very odd thing to choose to fight against when, if you wanted to, there were and are plenty of other options which could have been picked to start a fight about!

I saw one professional idiot on Twitter claim that if we needed to wear a mask evolution would have covered it already. When he finds out about warm clothing and glasses he's going to shit himself

To be honest I have no issue with putting one on going to the shop but I fucking hate queuing as it is. So on a hot day, when they have told people they must wear masks. The least they could do is put more than 1 person on the till so I can get out and breath properly.

People will be agitated enough.
