i was given a book and dvd at work and told to read and digest,nothing else wwhen i asked what it was about.
reading between the lines,i think this company is one of them multinationals that takes over small operators in several fields untill it dominates the market.
i have been there before when "ontime/jacobs holdings " tried to take over the breakdown and recovery operations in London....didnt go too well for those that worked for the companies that were taken over,now i am a subbie for the NHS and wonder if it is going to happen again .

is this it?

would be nice to be told by managment wouldnt it ?.
thanks for that,my suspitions are confirmed.

sometimes the actions of senior management in large organisations could be classified as: 'what would we need to do to cause as much fear/confusion/anger as possible'

we are but mushrooms in their world,kept in the dark and fed on bulls**t

In the cheaper for people to quit than make them redundant sense presumably.

but they still have the contract to fullfil,it,s not like you could just get a couple of drivers and let them loose on old and sick people,dhl tried that and a couple of patients died

Given how poorly govt negotiate contracts who knows what targets they have to meet contractually (it's quite possibly "confidential" which has been the trick over the last few years to hide a multitude of disasters).

Sadly you still find a lot of managers like to believe that workers are completely interchangeable and someone "expensive" with 10 years experience can be replaced with a minimum wager with minimal communication skills and a drivers licence with 9 points on it.

I hope I'm wrong in this case.

i know what you are saying,in the case here it was a race to the bottom,lowest bidder won,thats why dhl took the contract at the last hospital i worked.
needless to say they were useless and as i said before some people died,the quality of new staff was abysmal but they were cheap so never mind eh ?.
i shall see whats happening on monday when i return
