...telling us to shape up or else...
Obviously nothing to do with ****e management then, you have to be a totally crap workforce. I reckon you should all be sacked... or there again maybe you need new a new style of management.
So it's up to us crews to get our act together despite management, and deal with the situation that has arisen.
Well that's a very brave and noble suggestion, but the "system" is the responsibility of your management. Even if they sack every one of you, the system still remains - the same faults, errors and traps. The only way forward is for both of you to work together to find a solution. Your management should be grateful they have employees who are willing to help.
