SHOCKING NEWS QUICK TO THE INTERWEBZ - Page 9

Malc if you can mate use this as an opportunity. No doubt the shift manager knows that the atmosphere on nights isn't going to be fantastic. But on the flip side if any opportunity comes up in the future for promotion your going to stand out from the crowd if your being positive in the face of adversity or negativity. At the end of the day, it's Tesco who are paying the wages not the negative lot on the shop floor. Look after number 1 because you owe the other lot nothing at all.

I'm a bit like you, I work in a sales office and at times it's like a morgue and it really gets to me. I have a few choices, either I sit there and let the atmosphere get to me and let them others drag me down to there level, sit there and do my own shnizzle or try and loft the atmosphere and bring everyone upto my level. Number 1 is easy but I try and go for numbers 2 & 3 where I can

Obviously it's not ideal working at night but the bottom line is and the people your working for should be happy that it's a pretty regular pay packet at the end of the day.

Keep your chin up fella. Remember you have worked hard for this and don't let some no marks spoil it for you

^ Good advice there Malc .. you'll be fine dude

@loki
Cheers mate I needed that kind of a chatter

The feeling I have inside myself is, Ok then you ******** stay kin miserable & torture yourself but Me I'm not like that.
Because of the atmosphere/situation down there I really feel secure in the job

3 seperate people including my section manager said Don't you worry about it mate, Get yourself through xmas & then once they have binned of all the numptys & the messas have left things will be fine around here

I'm in there for the mo though & will just adapt accordingly with the situation to make it bareable for myself.
My Initial plan is to start a Top secret group of Happy/Positive people, Then once formed & trained we can release infiltrators amongst the dreary. To be honest I can't wait to get my troups trained up to Booby trap level

Maybe you need to go on days.

Garp · 06-12-2008, 19:21

Just keep going in there with your positive attitude, get the banter going. You strike me as an infectious kind of guy, so I'm sure you'll be able to get the place buzzing and laughing.. even if you're stuck with fart jokes

Justsomebloke · 06-12-2008, 19:39

Treated myself to a mahoosive Indian & 2 nans that is waiting in my hot oven for me.
I'm going to feed myself & get a good buzz on & forget about it for a while.
When I go in tonight it will be with a different attitude so they won't be able to bring me down

At least now I know my job so can just go in & get on with it. Facing off the shleves brings out teh Obsessive in me & I have to admit to getting off on it

How Gay is that

I'm gonna Mince around me Eisles filling,facing & faffing about like an 80's Queen

Good luck and I hope to god that Indian doesn't leave you with a severe case of the Desmos. Who opened that pack of stilton?

Nutcase · 06-12-2008, 20:55

Damn shame the others there are miserable sods, sounds like they need a morale officer, you interested? I reckon with your can do attitude you'll turn that place round pretty sharpish
