Lol!

 

Sound advice there matey. Yes indeed i think its an early finish, see the misses, go to bed and have a good kip and then see how things are tommorow.

 

Dont know how ive survived in this job a year without this forum lol.

 

+1 thanks to you! (again)

Yeah, sleep on it. But remember the school should have these policies in place already. Its not your fault if the school cant provide you with adequate facilities to do your job properly. If you request to see the policies they have, your line manager cant call you stupid. Just remember be professional at all times. Let us know what happens.

Morning!

 

Yes sleeping on it has chilled me out a fair bit but im still pretty mad. I dunno what to do, i just cannot work with this line manager. Yesterday's little episode has made me feel totally unloved and like im making all this effort for nothing.

 

I get plenty of good feedback from the heads and i am providing 200 times what the last technician was providing but i still feel like im being fobbed off.

 

I really enjoy the job im doing and really enjoy working with the people i work with but i really feel downdrought and everything. Im not so mad today just more disappointed.

 

What would be a good course of action? Do as advised and try to seek another LM or just continue to work with him or just give it up as a bad job, get my p45 and find another job?

Get a copy of the H&S regulations pertaining to working at heights etc, place them on your LMs desk then loudly ask him who the stupid one is now

Ultimately if you have no support from your Line Manager there is not a lot you can do. Yes, you can go above their head, but it may end up in not a very nice atmosphere to work in.

 

However, just because people aren't being professional doesn't mean you shouldn't be either. Get everything in writing. Get your contract out and check through it all to see what you are employed to do. Find out all the procedures that need to be followed in order to be able to carry out your daily tasks. If there are no procedures in place, suggest some, but get it all down in writing.

 

Unless your Line Manager is the H&S officer then he has not got the authority to tell you what you had suggested is stupid. Seek out your H&S rep and get the official informaiton on the things you need.

 

Remeber get everything you do down in writing, that way if you ever get pulled up for not doing something you can provide all the evidence you need

we've got an air compressor for blowing things out, its good for projectors and computer fans. we've got these old small form desktop cases in a room that doesnt have air conditioning that used to bluescreen quite a lot in the summer months. Until a new guy brought his air compressor in and fixed them all the same guy calls dust~ powdered kids Edited April 30, 2008 by browolf
