^^^^ ferk them, as HR explained to me, it was easier to replace one person (me) than to replace three idiots, eg the three stooges I was working with.
If its any consolation, my brother in Adelaide went through the exact same.
If the average Ozzy taxpayer knew how his tax dollars were being spent, there would be an uproar.
What Khun Kaffir forgot, as any good manager knows, your staff can come back and bite you in the ass at any time.
Same Kaffir, forgot he was dealing with a whole different breed, ocker ozzies, and they werent taking any of his shit, I believe the usual face saving solution was found, kaffir now on gardening leave to see out his contract.

I just took a quick glance at his office bookshelf before I shit in his outbox. "good to great", " the 10x rule", and a pile of other crap. This is a "leader" with absolutely no engineering qualifications or skills. Never seen anything like it in my life. Thats the problem right there, they aint leaders, they give themselves fancy titles such as "team leader", they are nothing more than managers, whose remit appears to be, "to manage the process" Dont get me started on those QC kants, Hardhats, high viz jackets, safety shoes and a effin clipboard, write you up for safety violations, but offer no solutions, "we are only here to monitor the operations, not offer solutions" The botton line is, no one cares, no one will even know you are gone, next week, rgs, who is he? The job will still get done, and no the place wont fall apart because you are not there. I could write effin reams on this subject. This whole "team" team leader thing is the furthest thing from a proper "team" one will find, its all MBA buzz words and bullshit, and its a ruse to not accepting responsibility or accountability for any thing if there is a fk up... i cringe when sitting in meeting and some bouncy kant starts with "good morning team, who has a safety moment"...fk off ya kant you would know what is team if it fell on you...and some tw@t starts going on about his journey to work and some crap about bad driving... There is a big difference between a "team leader" and a true leader, 95% of so called leaders are not fking leaders and would know leadership if it smacked them in the head...they are corporate minnions and brown nosing kants only interested in their next postion and their own agenda i got into a massive debate some years back with a fkwit MBA type who stated good leadership can be taught, i said fking BS, your either a leader or your not, good leadership is instinctive, someone who needs to refer to a check list for leadership decisions is not a leader... yes our lot even have a " good leadership, decision maker checklist" and yes you guessed it put togethet by an MBA fkwit who has never had a real job in their life. |

I used to work on a job where we used to get regular senior management visits, a whole fking entourage of brown nosing corporate sycophants used to turn up offshore with the GM. The GM at the time was an old school ex drilling manager who had pulled himself up by the boot straps to get in the position he was in, never pulled punches, said what was on his mind with no buzz words or bullshit, but most importantly he listened and did make decisions and his heart was in the right place.... i liked the guy, he was what one would call a proper leader, as an example when the 2011 Tsumani hit Japan we had a Japanese diving crew in Sat (saturation) he phoned me offshore and said Soutie, check with the dive crew if anyone wants to needs to go home to Japan, scratch the Sat diving bring em "up" and we will do what we need to do to get these guys home to Japan, to me its not safe to have them worrying about family and friends while they are stuck in a tin can, you agree ?..he was prepared to take the finanical hit of USD 40k/day on the job to make sure these guys were taken care of...thats leadership . He used to say to me on these visits, Soutie how come your the only one who says what they mean ? And if asked a direct question you will provide a direct answer good or bad ?...you know the rest of this management team that visit go into panic when your offshore for these visits as they are never sure what your going to say to me...  |

Good news is, the new job is working out perfectly.
We answer to a real qualified Aussie educated engineer and my fellow coworkers don't have a queer accent.

"fellow coworkers don't have a queer accent" Assuming this is in Australia do I dare, should I dare ... to ask where those coworkers come from not to have some queer accent  |

As much as I detest HSE types, theres another bunch even worse, TSD. Training and Staff Development, tossers the lot of them. Running in house staff development courses, team building etc etc, Training tomorrows mangers today and other such effin BS, giving you the tools to be an effective manager, lawd effin help me. Strange how two guys of differing ages, backgrounds and professions have the same problem. That shoit may work in silicon valley or elsewhere, it sure as ferk dont work in the real work place, we dont have chill pods, if someone gives you a effin bollocking, its because you have endagered life or equipment, no you snowflake, we dont have timeouts, time is money. |
