pap Posted 11 March, 2013 Posted 11 March, 2013 Last night I suggested that we put the new Muppets movie on. The missus, on hearing this, immediately voiced her dislike of the Muppets, saying she was "more of a Sesame Street girl". Now if our relationship were one of an employer-employee nature, I'd consider this immediate grounds for dismissal. After all, saying that you are "more of a Sesame Street girl" is a bit like saying "Nah, Lego is sh*t. Duplo is where it's at". However, given the length of service and children, etc - I thought I'd throw her crimes onto the mercy of SaintsWeb. P45 material? Put your crap partner stories here too.
Turkish Posted 11 March, 2013 Posted 11 March, 2013 I think you should put her on a performance inprovement plan. Employees that have given long services and particularly ones who have invested in the organisation and trained young apprectices are notoriously difficult and expensive to fire given the legalities involved. With a PIP then you can set her targets to get her performance up the the standard required to keep her role. The advantage of this is that she will either raise her game and provide her with new motivation to perform her womanly tasks to the best of her ability, or, more likely will become bitter, miserabale and whiny fail to meet her key performance indicators giving you grounds for dismissal under the unresonable behaviour clause.
Pancake Posted 11 March, 2013 Posted 11 March, 2013 Yes Pap, give a PIP a pop to pep her up, young pup.

This is great advice, Turks - but I suspect the problem here is one of attitude. See, she clearly knew nothing about the link between Sesame Street and the Muppets, yet was prepared to waffle on as if they were competitors anyway. To me, this demonstrates overt hostility towards management policy ( e.g. that the Muppets movie might be quite funny ) from the outset. How do you train for this stuff anyway?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 11 March, 2013 Posted 11 March, 2013 I am thinking of disowning you all for liking this crap.* *aside from animal of course. Edit - oh and cookie monster and the count.

The real shame is that I haven't even seen the new Muppets movie yet. I'm still processing the "more of a Sesame Street girl" comment.

How do you train for this stuff anyway? i seen the muppets movie, i don't remember it being funny tho. These are the observations bout the movie that i can remember: 1) Jason Seagull is a massive fag b) Amy adams has put on a lot of weight iv) The songs were done by bret from flight of conchords. Despite this, they is mostly dull. I think ur main problem is putting ur staff on a permanent contract. I always try and stick to temp/agency staff. There is pros and cons tho, it's good that i can easily take on casual staff for busy periods, but on the other hand if there is a labour shortage i end up doing a lot of the work myself.

I have met Animal, top bloke. (Aka Ronnie Verrell, RIP. Master of the drumkit, sadly missed. Certifiable, but sadly missed.)
Tokyo-Saint Posted 11 March, 2013 Posted 11 March, 2013 Is that the one that Phil played golf with recently? What did he die from, boredom? Or did he just lose hope that the story would ever end?

I seem to find myself in this situation a fair bit yet I have a full time employee already! I may have to try a PIP but how can I word it delicately?

Technically, the missus is on a rolling contract which can be removed at any time. In reality, I'm at that tipping point where I will probably be "tame" in the next few years.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 11 March, 2013 Posted 11 March, 2013 I always try and get my work done on weekend mornings, if not Sunday afternoon. this can sometimes get in the way of the match but I either let it run or pause it if it is a good game. This frees up the rest of the week.

Given your billing, Bear - I can't help but feel short-changed by the poor quality of this review. Tokes is always banging on about how you're king of the Muppets, but when Muppet show content veers onto actual Muppets, you spend the vast majority of the review talking about the non-Muppet side of things.
Bearsy Posted 11 March, 2013 Posted 11 March, 2013 i'm not actually big fan of muppets pap! I've never seen tv show but the movies suck! i'd actually like to rebrand this place something more cool and relevant to modern day times. i will bring it up next curry night with mods!
Tokyo-Saint Posted 11 March, 2013 Posted 11 March, 2013 For the record, I'm have never said Bearsy was king of the muppets let along banged on about it.

You're like a cheerleader, with chants and pom-poms. Even when you're slagging our ursine username off, you're just adding to the general fabric of the Bearsy tapestry. Let us not pretend otherwise.

I have noted your dislike of both sort of Muppets (literal and metaphorical). I quite like "The Spank Bank" as a new TMS title, partly because it sounds dirty but mostly because it rhymes.

I'd like it to simply be called "BONERS". It is understated & classy!

I spotted the king of the socialists in there (missing the point of socialism a little if I may add) but what I like best is the possible 1984-style revisionism in your latest post. I can't actually remember if you really did big up the Bear like some fetching little cheerleader, but I am pleased that you've chosen to make me right after the fact. Some of the more spiteful bastards on here would have said "no pap. I've got you bang to rights me ol' china. I refer you to posts x, y and z". You've gone out of your way to turn a wild accusation into an act of prophesy. I will use this when I eventually start my new religion, which I will call 9% ( a total winner, btw - I may have some bishop positions going ).
pap Posted 11 March, 2013 Author Posted 11 March, 2013 like! everyone has to make suggestions for TMS rebrandings! I'd like it to simply be called "BONERS". It is understated & classy! I'm not sure that's wise, largely because the Bearsy browser plug-in ( turns slang synonyms for schlongs into understated and classy objets d'art ) is not widely installed, and is unlikely to ever be. On a slightly more serious note, do you not think that calling it "BONERS" would:- a) deter people who do not like BONERS b) make it sound like a bit of a boys club c) give newcomers the wrong idea ( e.g. innumerable pictures of boners on the site )
Bearsy Posted 11 March, 2013 Posted 11 March, 2013 yeah turns out Boners is tokyos favourite night club so i spose that's out. I will work v.hard on my boners and see if i can produce something more to your taste.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 What about TOKYO'S (and bear's) magical wonderland?
dubai_phil Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 What about TOKYO'S (and bear's) magical wonderland? That's rubbish. Wonderlands must have Winter in there somewhere or it doesn't sing right. Anyways the rebrand should be tTiB (the Tiger is Back)
Tokyo-Saint Posted 12 March, 2013 Posted 12 March, 2013 Yellow card for shoe horning that story in uncle Phil. On the Plus side, at least it was just a category 2 short story about golf.
