504240 2006-12-04 21:31:00 I read in the Listener that PC World staffers are now being rostered to run the reception, because all the admin staff who would normally fill in during breaks have been made redundant by the Fairfax Media takeover.

Also I read that they have lost their company cellphones.

504241 2006-12-04 21:49:00 If it's true, I would think taking the cellphones away is a tactical error. No company cellphone = no guarantee of employee accessibility.

I would think many employees would love to be no longer at the beck and call of "the man".

504243 2006-12-04 22:50:00 And they removed all the pot plants! Shall we have a whip round and get them a new plant?:) pctek (84)
504244 2006-12-04 22:57:00 Yes forgot that. Also no plants.

What a stingy company to work for. And I thought where I worked was bad.

504248 2006-12-05 18:50:00 I think the mods should delete this thread in case someone from Fairfax realises that we are here hogging bandwidth and deletes US while grumbling "I wondered why those guys at PCWorld were spending so much time on the internet in their lunch hour..." :eek: Shortcircuit (1666)
504249 2006-12-05 19:09:00 In which case every other business in the country should retaliate by blocking TradeMe :D PaulD (232)
