At the risk of turning this 'Where have the threads gone' thread into an old yet missing thread (I think), the reason the two Watch Managers were tasked with this issue was
a) To give them something to do. Bear in mind that the Watch Manager post was created out of nothing a few months ago, creating an extra layer of management where one didn't exist. Meanwhile, some Bank Supervisors became Watch supervisors and some shopfloor ATCO IIs became Bank Supervisors, depriving the sectors of people with useful validations. This was in the height of summer when we were short staffed and contributed to the necessity of employing AVCs at vast expense (in addition to the additional expenses incurred by all the temporary promotions). As you will all know how NATS works, the Watch Manager trial will be hailed as a great success.
b) Because someone (allegedly) came to work one day with a tee shirt adorned with the legend 'BOLLOCKS' 'TESTICLES' 'NUTS' etc. whose occupant claimed it was a testicular cancer awareness shirt but senior management took a dim view of.
I expect the two watch managers concerned will come up with an agenda, decide on a plan of action which will be put out to consultation, all the feedback will be taken on board before they produce a final report which will reccommend that senior management instigate the following dress code:
No tee shirts with the word 'BOLLOCKS' will be allowed.
