    The music industry needs to die off already.

    You know what I find it akin to in the industry I work in and I know this gonna cause some controversy - but the 9-5 Mon-Fri managers we have at work.

    I work something called Continental shifts which are basically days/nights/days/nights on a A/B/C/D rota throughout the space of a month.

    What I find telling is we run absolutely fine on weekend days and all our night shifts but, we have these what I’m going to call leeches (but the controversial term is…Office Drones) just like the copyright fuckwads illustrated here that suddenly appear throughout the week and are a general nuisance?

    They really don’t do anything I can see that benefits the company/industry other than sending emails etc for others to send them a report that’s readily available/start bullshit investigation etc.

    They make me grumble these leeches :/

      As a shop floor guy I identify with what you’re saying and if you’re not in one get in a Union.

      But those guys do all the paperwork and business shit. If they don’t do it right then it can blow holes in the business, which pays your wages.

      For example, this week has been a shit show at work because the IT crisis happened. This has meant parts that we need haven’t arrived, and lines have shut down.

      Management have had their heads up their arse trying to keep shit running, sending folk home on holidays, hell lads are taking time off unpaid rather than bum around doing “preventative maintenance”

      Someone has gotta make sure all that shit works out and it ain’t me. I’ve just got to get the parts out when they’re there.

      All I’m saying is that in a good company there’s less “Us and Them” everyone has a role that’s recognised, and individuals are judged on their work rather than their position. You can have good and bad CEOs and Forklift Drivers

        Us and Them

        No doubt - there are many of these workers in the Office but I’m also seeing many stragglers doing fuck all and also delegating jobs out that they’re themselves fully capable of doing but instead of walking 100 yards sending an email + WhatsApp.

        While I don’t use WhatsApp things get cycled down other channels and it annoys me no end. I’m a busy person 80% of the time but because these leeches can’t organise their weekdays they then try their best to offload their, work.

        Moar deep grumbly noises.

      You’re right and you should say it. They exist not to help the workers but to spy on them and act as enforcers for upper management.
