I work for a large manufacturing company. Been there for 20 years so there is no doubt of my ability to do my job. Employer is now starting to do this to everyone... we are being assessed on criteria as yet to be determined on our 'suitability to do our jobs', no threat as yet of what action will be taken if we allegedly fall down on any points they may raise. A lot of us believe that it will be used as a big stick to brow beat the more vocal elements among us into toeing the company line, what are the opinions of answerbank contributors on the possible legal and moral impications of this. Some staff are already very stressed over this. Our union have not yet responded , but we do not have a lot of faith in them anyway as they are very weak, thankyou.
From vast experience of this over many years both in the UK and the USA I can state with absolute certainty that those with the big Bristols are already through and quite safe.
