Apologies for the language in this
There is a slight problem with our rotating system at work. It’s shit.
Basically, the system we use call tell the difference between Tech direct, Sales, security, managers and stock control
Where it can’t tell the difference is between Tech Direct and the Tills/Admin. It sent all the admin girls home at 5pm today. So ofcourse, none of the admin desk work got done.
7:55pm, I’m 5 minutes from going home and what happens? They realise the admin paperwork and cashing up hasn’t been done. Guess who is the only one in the building who knows how to do it? Half a fucking hour I had to stay over because of that rota system
That’s not all.
Today is the start of the store refurbishments. The contractors are idiots.
Fuck-up Number 1. The contractors decide that they can’t be bothered to turn off the mains electricity on a circuit they need to work on. Don’t forget, in the UK we work on 240 Volts. Now, I work in Electronics, I have have 240 volts up my arm before now...it can kill you and it DAMN sure hurts. I’m watching them and I’m thinking, “Did they kill that circuit?” - CRACK!! ‘OUCH! BOLLOCKS’ – “Nope”
Just because you CAN work on a live circuit doesn’t mean you should
Fuck ups 2-5 The contractors apparently don’t know the difference between the big throw-switch that says “Main store power supply” and the smaller circuit breakers that power off individual sockets. This killed the lights, Service Power, Sales Power and Operational Power and the air con.
Fuck up 6. The contractors asked if they could borrow our air compressor. The next time we see said compressor, the safety valve apparently “Just flew” off the pressure vessel (the air compressor is a portable one) regardless of the fact it has clearly been broken off. The safety valve is designed to open should the vessel exceed the pressure we set it to OR 250PSI (way inside design limits but better safe than sorry)
Fuck up 7. They stole my effin’ pen. Bastards.
Fuck up 8. When setting up the monitor stand where it used to be, thus had enough sockets on the wall to power 30 monitors if they simply opened the socket covers, they hung an extension lead over the warehouse wall and then plugged several surge protectors into that. Putting 45 Monitors onto 1 13amp electrical socket...not a fire hazard at all, eh?
This is on day ONE of our refit. We have 8 weeks of this crap. I shall update you as they fuck more shit up.
