TESCO- jus dont give a shit.

  1. I agree with white scorpion. But i try not to overanalyse things. I don't believe those 'people at the top' are attempting to demoralise us intentionally. I think the bottom line IS money, because ultimately the wealthy and powerful are ultimately looking for nothing or noone else, exept their own piece of the pie. I believe the message in Macbeth that power currupts - The big people at the top of the pyramid, well I think their eyes are too glazed over with the promise of money, influence and a chunk of history, that meaning they ultimately don't have the unclouded intelligence that would be required in pulling together to completely demoralise the poor, and keep the classes separate, those things are only a by-product of their greed.

    If anyone here has ever worked in retail they'll know the complete lack of wisdom or sense that comes from the executives (even owners), down to the floor, we're we are all shaking our heads in disbelief as we enact their sometimes profit-losing comedies. Ok, so the majority of executives are essentially capable of running a company - but I don't think we should give them the God like qualities that conspiracy theorists do - they're very normal and flawed people like us, and at the bottom of their souls they're just making a living like us.

    Then I guess, you've got those intellectuals sitting higher up, politicians and the greater business men. We'll I say greater intellectuals but everywhere I look in society, I, even from the most powerful of men, I see so many flaws and incompetencies, often devising their own ruin because utlimately power (and maybe even knowledge) does corrupt.

    Thats why I am more optimistic about revolutions than a lot of people - because I don't think these men will be as hard to crack as we make out. Ok, maybe i'm going on about shit, I'm actually stoned and I don't know if what anything i said made any sense so ill come back and check tommorrow.

    whats funny is all the obsessive managers will spend their whole lives trying to get rich and then die and maybe even go to hell if theres such an UNLIKELY place, or just not exist SO THEY LOSE W/E!
     
  5. Thats it - they're FUCKING STUPID

    If you're at the bottom you're wealthier in ways that they couldn't understand

    managers are usually more often than not just managers of people they rarely have much idea of the job itself (except in the more technical fields). they are usually brought in from elsewhere initially to sack people and drive down costs. managers created by promoting within an organisation are usually done so in an attempt to get rid of the promoted person, "assistant" managers are created to get rid of a particular person, maybe because they are are disruptive, no good but most often because they know too much ie they have learnt and know the system so well they can take advantage of it and are likely to do so because they lack the wages given to those who know so much, they have become dangerous. so you promote them put them put them on salary then work them to death, the die hards usually quit after 2-3 years. "retail" is a fast track to nowhere unless you immediately go in as a store manager. oh well.

    I always found it funny when some managers learn some new word and then try and use it in their conversation at every given opportunity. Words like proactive, empowerment, etc. Most of them haven't the faintest clue what they mean.

    Another favourite is chairmen of companies: they tend to read a coule of pages from Sun Tzu, or kiddy versions of Aristotle, and then plagiarize their quotations for their speeches, convinced that we, like them, never read, so we wouldn't notice[​IMG]

    You can always tell when a manager has just read a management book. He's suddenly full of ideas.
     
  8. I'm lucky, a lot of the managers at my company are all typical uneducated Australians who care more about the barbeque on saturday or the football than management strategies. I love it, they're like normal people. It means I don't have to show high standards - messy hair, stoned, half drunk, loose tie, they never really notice because I'm always confused or tired anyway. Its too bad I need to get a job with more hours, because this is the only place i've ever been that fucks people up so bad that in the end even the managers don't give a fuck.

    I have to say that all the Aussies I've ever met have been laid back and chilled out. Brits are generally polite and blessed with a demonic sense of humour. Generally speaking, it's only the bosses in big companies that act like ol' Blakey (for those who don't know, a bus conductor styled on Hitler). I've worked for managers that have been an example to me, so it's a shame that these power-drunk muppets are letting the side down.

    A lot of people like casual christmas work just to earn enough money to buy presents so that isn't necessarily a bad thing

    I knew TESCOs were evil when I found a superstore on an island as small as Koh Samui!
    Plus, they are trying to spawn their evil in Japan.
