As a shop floor guy I identify with what you’re saying and if you’re not in one get in a Union.
But those guys do all the paperwork and business shit. If they don’t do it right then it can blow holes in the business, which pays your wages.
For example, this week has been a shit show at work because the IT crisis happened. This has meant parts that we need haven’t arrived, and lines have shut down.
Management have had their heads up their arse trying to keep shit running, sending folk home on holidays, hell lads are taking time off unpaid rather than bum around doing “preventative maintenance”
Someone has gotta make sure all that shit works out and it ain’t me. I’ve just got to get the parts out when they’re there.
All I’m saying is that in a good company there’s less “Us and Them” everyone has a role that’s recognised, and individuals are judged on their work rather than their position. You can have good and bad CEOs and Forklift Drivers
No doubt - there are many of these workers in the Office but I’m also seeing many stragglers doing fuck all and also delegating jobs out that they’re themselves fully capable of doing but instead of walking 100 yards sending an email + WhatsApp.
While I don’t use WhatsApp things get cycled down other channels and it annoys me no end. I’m a busy person 80% of the time but because these leeches can’t organise their weekdays they then try their best to offload their, work.
Delegating is fine so long as they’re staying busy. I’m fine with my manager being in lots of meetings, because that means that I don’t have to attend those meetings and can focus on doing my job.
Definitely a fair point and I imagine it varies highly between industries/companies. I just get to see lots of redundant actions that are simply, redundant, just like the perps in the OP :(

Moar deep grumbly noises.

Hey original commenter here, just read your username and if Brad is short for Bradford I’m just over the hill from you
I’ve been using this moniker for a long time and lad is a bit of a non truthy thing now 😇
Where ya from?

Goddamit, I got looking for a couple of the pubs I’ve been to down your end and ended up with the above.
