PassiveAggressiveNotes.com » Nottingham http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com funny (if not necessarily "passive-aggressive") notes from pissed-off people Sat, 19 May 2012 23:52:51 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Now that’s effective management http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2007/09/10/now-thats-effective-management/ http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2007/09/10/now-thats-effective-management/#comments Tue, 11 Sep 2007 03:24:23 +0000 Kerry http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2007/09/10/now-thats-effective-management/ Craig from Nottingham, England snapped these at the pub where his cousin works. (Apologies for the blurriness — just pretend you’ve already knocked back a few pints.)

TO ALL STAFF The habit of simply writing in the duties diary or ringing up to say "Can't work" will cease forthwith. With my approval, attempts to swap shifts with another member of staff of a similar experience will be made first if that is not possible then approach to me to ask for time off. Although for some of you your work is part-time it is not temporary and I expect people when they say they want to to work at the pub to fufil [sic] their part of the bargain.

Keep this area clean and tidy and all times do not throw away the gold coffee lids do not eat the coffee mints

All staff: The standards achieved in this pub are not what I expect. Unless effort and levels of cleanliness improve then you must expect the consequences.

If the tin is down or up and you don't tell me then I MAY take the difference from your wages.

By the way, if you’d like to go meet Stephen and shake his hand, Craig says the name of the pub is The Flowing Spring, in Henley. Stephen seems like a kindred spirit to Desi’s New York dungeon master, no?
