How Rude of them.
Why would I possibly sell coke on someone else's girlfriend?Redirect Left wrote:As long as your not selling coke on someone elses turf, or another gang members girlfriend, you'll probably be right.

Crusader Kings II is delicious, however I prefer Europa Universalis IV. Check it out!Pacific RailRoad wrote:I'll eventually Get there soon.Pilot wrote: The rankings are based off your post count.

Fingers crossed you don't get firedRedirect Left wrote:As some of you may know. I volunteer at a rail station.
Today, I was told one of the staff had filed a grievance against me.
A few week ago, whilst there was a strike on, that affected the drivers, conductors and cleaners (for some reason, i don't know why they got involved). The station got pretty messy, so I helped myself to a set of rubbish bags, totally cleaned up the station, litter picking, emptied full bins and generally improved the stations appearance. It gets pretty messy after even a few hours of cleaners doing jack all. I did it all in the correct manner, and put on a hi-vis with the logo for the volunteer group. I in no way appeared or attempted to come across as an actual cleaner, just wearing my normal volunteer uniform.
Apparently one of them was super offended that I demonstrated their job could be taken over and done almost as well by someone who isn't paid and doing it out of concern for the passengers opinion of the company who runs the station, which isn't even the one that took part in the main strike action.
That'll be a fun meeting next time i'm in. Got called up about it this evening, shall be given a meeting with someone from the company soon. Hopefully its for sake of appearances due to it being an official complaint, rather than anything serious.
In the Netherlands, a company can get in trouble if there is a strike and hires other people to do the work (strike breaking). Not sure how it is where you live, but you might get something of a warning (although I don't expect any consequences).Redirect Left wrote:As some of you may know. I volunteer at a rail station.

I wasn't 'hired' to do anything. I just happened to be there on normal volunteer stuff, saw the state and decided to use some spare time to clean up the place.Transportman wrote:In the Netherlands, a company can get in trouble if there is a strike and hires other people to do the work (strike breaking).

Seems pretty clear why a complaint would be made to me - this is pretty much the whole point of a strike.Redirect Left wrote:... whilst there was a strike on, ... their job could be taken over and done almost as well by someone who isn't paid ...
Probably not a smart move, especially if you felt so threatened by the volunteer doing your job for £0.00 per annum that you wanted to file a complaint. To me that shows you're not very confident in your self worth to the job or company.supermop wrote:Seems pretty clear why a complaint would be made to me - this is pretty much the whole point of a strike.Redirect Left wrote:... whilst there was a strike on, ... their job could be taken over and done almost as well by someone who isn't paid ...
