Hi Guys
Well, a little advice is needed.
I have worked for my present company since last August, so just about 9 months. The company is approx 28 people, including 3 directors. We are owned by a larger company which bought is approx 6 months before I joined. Its got a lot of influence with us but the directors want to try and operate as much as they have done since the start. Now, the previous company I worked at was the 3rd largest in its field in the world, and I was based at its HQ with approx 600 people in so its a large difference.
I was at my previous company since I was a junior. I sweated like a scousers in a spelling test for a shit wage but have worked damn hard through Uni and to get chareterd to get where I am now. I photocopied, folded drawings, stacked boxes in archives etc but it has all come in handy and taught me organisation, discipline etc. I have worked for some hard nosed bastards in the past but they were fair and bloody good at their job.
Now, my problem. Well,not a problem, more of a niggle.
Where I am now there are a couple of issues that annoy the fuck out of me.
1) The juniors and the younger lads in the office are bone idle as fuck.
One of them boils my blood somehing choronic. He comes in the office at 9:30 if were lucky and never fills his hours up. He spends most of the day on the net and its upto others to sort his shit up. Now, if he was working for me I would seriousley bollock him and get him to sort his fucking life out. When he puts his mind to it he is a bright lad, but in the 9months I've been there its happend for 3 - 4 days and thats it. His boss however is one spineless gullible sod. If he comes in late he doesnt say anything, sometimes he'll ask and the lad makes up some bull shit and then tells everyone else in the office he was smashed the night before and you can clearly see he was (stinks of booze etc).
THey dont take pride or anything in their work, they just dont give a shit!
2) Misc Issues.
Now, stuff like texting in to say youre sick. What sort of joke is that? You should phone in and let people know what youre working on etc. IT Issues. We dont have an IT Dept as its so small so we have a couple of guys who are IT literate (they can use Word) and a bloke from our parent company who comes every now and then. Our LAN is always fucked and we can never get on the net. I use a lappy and connect wirelessly.
Now, these have annoyed me recently and hence why I've been on here a bit. So, I need some advice. There is some good lads in the office and we have a good laugh. The work is interesting and I am getting more responsibility. BUT
The things mentioned above do annoy me. Should I ignore the others as they are not in my team? I mean, we are one company one team at the end of the day and if I am putting in 40h a week everyone should?
OR
Should I have a moan to the MD and make myself to be labelled a trouble causer / moaner?
Cheers Guys
