Discuss Xmas greetings ...................... in the Electricians Chat - Off Topic Chat area at ElectriciansForums.net
Seems a few threads are been hijacked by festive spirits here... please post below rather than take a thread off course ... Merry Xmas and a good new year to all! ..... :~)
nope !
just added my 2c worth.
or is he the only one who can say Merry Christmas ?
... That’s because around September 2016, the management had the brilliant idea of stopping 10 o’clock tea breaks on site! Their thinking was if 50+ blokes stop for 15-20 minutes a day this is costing tens of thousands over the course of the year and blaming this on not winning work .....
Anybody still recovering from Black eye Friday?
Our firm usually puts on a free bar and a buffet for us, but sadly this year there wasn’t one.
Not surprising as last year nobody went. That’s because around September 2016, the management had the brilliant idea of stopping 10 o’clock tea breaks on site! Their thinking was if 50+ blokes stop for 15-20 minutes a day this is costing tens of thousands over the course of the year and blaming this on not winning work (of course nothing to do with the fact the office is over staffed!)
This announcement went down like a lead balloon and work place morale was lower than ever! As a revolt the majority of lads refused to work overtime, did not answer work related calls on their personal phones, some even quit and went elsewhere. So the gaffers jobs were made more difficult and they had to dust their tools off and graft on a weekend! As another sign of protest nobody went to the works do, we all met up as usual, just in a different pub.
The 10 o’clock breaks were reinstated around April as the management admitted their removal was counter productive!
Don’t let the B’ st*rds grind you down and stick together.
Merry Christmas everyone!

It was black eyed Friday alright. Got home from the Christmas party. Managed to get up the stairs but as I got into the bedroom, the room was spinning and the bed was going round and round. So I decided to wait until the bed came round again and tried to jump on it. But I missed and clipped the end of the bed head. The almighty thud woke Lady K and I’m not entirely sure who gave me the black eye but I’m going to looking like a panda for a while. You have to look on the bright side though. If I was a atheist, I wouldn’t have a couple of weeks off now.
Merry Crimbo every one!
They did employ two electricians (to replace the ones that left), on the books, not agency!Could he not hire people to whip you, so you just worked harder?? No Kev, I don't mean women in kinky leather gear.... That's not very productive....
It doesn't matter as long as everyone has a good time, the Kids enjoy themselves, as do the adults, have a good and safe time, hope the Turkey cooks OK, leave the motor in the garage, hope Santa brings what you wanted, although I think my WERA/WIHA advent calendar is a non starter. but hey ho, life is short so just enjoy what you have, and have a drink for me, and Tel, not too much, well just this once.Haven't you skyjacked Pete's Merry Festive thread
You got an upgraded van, pay rise and your piles cleaned with the help of tallow I bet, if you have two black eyes then you must have two bosses........I only know, 'cos I did the same, and some sent an email to the CEO, saying I was madly in love with him.
