SIT Management Resources Shortfall

Well guys its bonus time yet again for all of Cox's and Harris's boys and this is being reflected by the total lack of MH little boys Rodney, who has repeatly been requested to purchase some chairs for the SIT lunchroom. But his response is that no one has given him a request offically!
Well the boys picked out a modest chair from a catalog and priced them. You guessed it - gave it to Rodney and he said tooooooo expensive....
Oh bonus time is all about me - forget the people who do the continual work with a total lack of resources....Even the toothless OH & S rep wouldnt upset the apple cart and let workcover know that guys were resorting to milk crates as chairs!
Oh I forgot the Adventure bonding sessions are far more important than having a proper rest area for your workers....
Qantas Lite - does that mean lite as in no staff or is it no resources?

But we are such a good company to our employees, and we spend $200 million dollars on training and have one of the largest apprentice training schemes in Australia, and we pay good money and we are looking for flexible working arrangements with our employees, blah, blah blah.

Do I sound cynical?

How come a company like Qantas doesnt have contracts in place for standard office/smoko room furniture? Its not BL00dLY hard.And with those blokes who are facilitators(on straight days with penalties) in the relevant workplaces,how about being one step ahead of the dim witted managers and getting at least one or two chairs purchased every 6 months or so.(Might cost say $200)

I know there are some smoko rooms in the network that look like one of Saddam Hussiens palaces and there are others that have plastic garden chairs.

For a billion dollar company,I think some of these managers think we all live in housing commision and as such should be treated as so.Maybe when they buy a new lounge with their bonuses,they could toss us their old one.

You should see the old Sydney Heavy Maintenance Smoko room.
Some Fcker stole all of the chairs and tables and then some ACS management Fwit graffitied the walls with wanky management slogans to look hip and cool. I nearly choked when I saw it.
It was like someone had desecrated a grave yard.
You might like to enquire what happened to that furniture.
ps Muzza your brother in law cocks may not be your boss for much longer. Do you think you are next in line?

Well interesting about the Heavy Maaintenance chairs and tables going missing....I know the SIT asked Base if they could have some but was refused...they need them as a training room...
Maybe they are all on Ebay by one of the Base guys?
Will have to check....
The saga continues.....milk crates arent that comfortable thats for sure...

maybe management has the same idea?

All jokes aside something so trivial attacks morale to the point where it is obvious QF management are totally bonus driven - dont spend a cent to make my budget look so good that I will achieve my bonus....
How can anyone believe anything said by any of these managers?
Lie after lie.....
I suppose on the brighter side, they are consistent...bonus before anything

Should the new motto for QANTAS Engineering be,
"Bonus before safety before schedule"?

I cannot understand how a matter like this can be allowed to continue for so long.

Sounds like there is an immediate and cost effective solution just sitting there.

Unless there an industrial or regulatory requirement for QANTAS to provide them, close the tea rooms.

Actually why not sack everyone, the Cox, Murray & Rod can form a committee to decide how much money they should divide up amongst themselves....mind you like all the committees chaired by these three, there never is an outcome....
Still the meetings would be impressive, deciding on the new Slogan BSS""
"Bonus before Safety & Schedule

MP, your last response soundslike that of a little school boy who's picking up his bat and ball and going home cause he's copped an absolute flogging.
Poor bugger can't beat them with intelligent arguement, so he going to try and incite the "common scum" with throw away lines and stupidity in attempt to get a rise and show how big his prosthetic penis is.
First rule of QF Management, be a Fwit. MP you passed. You might get Cocks job?

Maybe that is an option, then bring in some real talent from Europe.

Their engineers offer full flexibility with Part 66 licences.

who would leave to europe to work qantas a lot of paddies and pommes came over in 89 most went back and the silly sods who stayed wish they went back.

66 licenced engineers can work anywhere why work for a company that treats their workers so badly

a lame is only as good as the ames under him where would the ames come from? $700 a week will not buy top spanner man

and yes the company has to provide a smoko room which we engineers call ready rooms(work it out einstine)

EASA and Part 66, well MP we'll see how that pans out. What are you looking for? Signatures/certification and tick the box to meet regulation OR actually trained and competent personal that would be woth their weight.

I guess the earlier is the new standard the current bufoons in CASA are pushing and you fools are lapping it up. (Although I hear its not all that you expected.) Cost savings? Reliability? Safety? Efficiency? Delays? I hear the B2's still supplement the B1's in Europe! A Cat hmmm has it worked for anyone?

QF took all goodwill and flushed it down the toilet for the sake of their
own personal gain in the form of bonuses.
MP you tool , you wouldn't know a flexibility if it bit you on the ass!!
QF had a willing , cooperative workforce who would do pretty well anything
for the company. Now , sadly, no one cares.
They have had enough of management BS. You hear about bird flu , sars ,
9/11 and rising fuel costs and bad times are and yet GD DC and MH all seem to be getting massive pay rises and bonuses based on every one else's hard
work.
Mate look at the winner decisions QF have made , buy long haul a330's with single serve galleys (100mil to rectify). Not buying 777,s now we loose market share because we don't have enough aircraft to compete. closing down syd heavy.
QF don't know how good they had it .
I wonder what will rise from the ashes of the GD era but then,
will anyone care by then .
And I love the new logo
BONUS BEFORE SAFETY BEFORE SCHEDULE !!!

Quote from Managers Perspective.......

"Unless there an industrial or regulatory requirement for QANTAS to provide them, close the tea rooms"

As with your usual stance you are showing that you are symptomatic of the lazy and unimaginative management that is dividing and dramatically reducing Australia to a shell of what we once were and still could and should be.

With your latest example of managerial talent you are showing us Australian business leadership 101.

This can be summed up with one word..."DENIAL"

If you deny that something exists then there is nothing that needs to be fixed.Therefore there is nothing that is challenging your position.

This is a perfect solution to virtually any problem you face as management.Even if the worst case scenario happens because of offshore maintenance.

You simply deny that anything that has happened was your fault and you had no idea of any short comings in the policy.

Why stop at closing tea rooms? Why give lunch breaks? Why pay tax? Why provide employees with anything unless of course the law requires you to.

From wingers...

If you acept that under modern work place practices chairs are not necessary then Darth wants to hear from you and has a vacancy as Chairman of the Board to offer you.

We're only dinasaurs and a disatict click at that.

Now the only requirement is that you correct your spelling and I suggest you ask your mum for help after dinner.

By the way is aircraft your older brother and is Managers perspective your Dad ?
