Maryjane I know what you mean about bad appraisal before trying to make people redundant...
about 5 years ago when I worked for one of the worlds largest IT companies we knew redundancies were in the pipeline (oddly enough they expected a bunch of multilingual technical people to be blind, stupid and deaf!) and when they tried to give me a written warning for being late (more than 5 minutes 3 times in a 6 month period... bearing in mind my manager who lived round the corner often didn't even bother to come in to the office and I lived an hour and 20 mins away after the office was moved! and suddenly had to cross the M40 AND go up the M4 at the 8/9 junction...) with no prior warnings... So I flipped (calmly) and pointed to the areas in my employement contract where it stated I should have a verbal warning at least ("oh you've had one" - ehh no I haven't saying to me in passing in the hall "you're a bit late today" once when I'd been stuck on the M4 due to a fatal crash further up is NOT a verbal warning!) and any verbal warning must be confirmed in writing - could they please show me that written confirmation? Also there have been no prior mention to me about time keeping and they have failed to carry out my 1-2-1s for the last 6+ months and not helped me with my personal development plan as stated in the company handbook. After much huffing and puffing and back tracking I didn't even get a verbal warning... 2 months later they announced redundancies after trying to get rid of 3 other people on "fake" points... Let's just say we all got VERY nice redundancy payments! Cheely !!!!!!s

Ok this is just rediculous now, something very weird is going on here
£1K! Nappies????

Do you think that there is something terrible in them and Pampers are trying to buy them back (I love a good old conspiracy theory!!) - I'm thinking they used something toxic in the absorbent core and they thought that they had destroyed all the evidence???



*Clearly fantasy - don't sue me Mr Pampers please!!*

HypnoNu

I just assumed that that listing was dodgy and was for people to be able to "move" money in what looks like a legitimate way. Like drugs money or something? God i have a suspicious mind!

Hmmmm....luckily you added that last bit, otherwise it screams a lawsuit

Wonder if they are the same pack that were at £77 the other night (must go off and look at the link before I ask the question) ..... Yes they are

He could sue me for my box of 10 Huggys Newborn from Boots


Hypno - that was possibly my second theory but it's not really as exciting as trying to hush up asbestos nappies :cool:

There are hundreds of things you could sell to yourself (millions probably) - why nappies? And more's the point, has anyone got any stashed anywhere???


I'm working from home today so have just put some vol-au-vents in the oven for lunch - yummy!!

Hope no-one has already posted this but check out this poor child's name...Celebrity's! :rolleyes:
[URL="javascript: searchGossip('Lee Ryan')"]"Lee Ryan[/URL] and his fianc!e, [URL="javascript: searchGossip('Sammi Millar')"]Sammi Millar[/URL] now have a baby son. And he is named Rayn Lee Amethyst.
Er Lee, that’s a bit like your name, right? ‘We both just liked it. It’s an anagram of Ryan.’ Yes it is. And Amethyst? ‘We wanted a precious stone in there. If we ever have a girl, she’ll be called Rose Quartz.’ So that’s Rayn Lee Amethyst Ryan. Or Rayn Ryan for short."
