ATCO Management of Farewells
Please don't judge all ATCO management by NATS standards. If you work for SafeSkys you will recive an annual birthday card, a hamper at Christmas and check out how they treat their retiring staff below. Scroll down to Ben Bedi's farewell.

Speaking personally I would have liked an "Thank you" "Please" or even a "Well Done" instead of expensive gifts or nights out, however welcome.

I'm quite sure the main problem with NATS is the age old problem of "those that can, do and those that can't, manage"- anyone who is any good enjoys their controlling and wants to stay at the frontline. Those that are terrible, don't enjoy it and want to get promoted out of the job. They eventually do and end up managing those that can actually do the job and therein lies the problem....

Do unto others....
You have missed the point. NATS do not manufacture anything, they only employ people. Therefore their only resource is people. They should nurture their resource and look after all the people whom they employ.
Remember International Aeradio Ltd (IAL) ? They were great and caring employers, which sadly changed when they were purchased by Serco.
It’s a classic case of management taking their eye off the ball and not understanding that their prime responsibility is to get the best out of their staff.
Managers should treat staff as they would wish to be treated.
The only way to get great results is to treat people as great assets.
We all know great SATCOs who we would follow and for whom we would work extra hard.
Lesson over !!

At West Drayton I had a boss who threatened to go sick if anyone even thought of buying him a leaving card.
The idea of a presentation mortified him and on his last day he slipped out of the door 10 minutes before the end of the shift with a simple "Bye". No one ever heard a word from him again.
When I go I hope to do the same. I don't need my boss or my colleagues to thank me; I already know they appreciate me.
