However, staff were told not to search until they received instructions fom managers on how it should be done.Another example of HMRC treating staff like trained chimps.If you treat people like they have no brain thats how they will behave for you. If those discs ever turn up nobody will admit to finding them. They will just destroy them, the consequences of getting involved with internal governance are too great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-52349579696437515342007-12-01T13:45:00.000+00:002007-12-01T13:45:00.000+00:00http://hmrcisshite.blogspot.com/2007/11/disgruntle...http://hmrcisshite.blogspot.com/2007/11/disgruntled-lemmings.html#c5774559541905414467<BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by Amy.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to comment or write whenever you want to:)<BR/><BR/>KenKen Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568488818950912374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-64717921753164357002007-11-30T20:32:00.000+00:002007-11-30T20:32:00.000+00:00I think "hapless staff" is a bit harsh.

We're discouraged from individual thought and pushed towards being 'standard', and being positive towards things that we may hate (like how we're having to conduct our business now) otherwise we fail our end-of-year reviews and don't get our less than inflationary pay rise... great conditions, I wonder how things go wrong? And it's no fun having to try explain to someone (I'm not calling you guys "customers", you have no choice but to deal with us!!) that "Yes, we've bollocksed up again...", and suffer the abuse that sometimes follows, when really we all wanna do is a good job but certain factors prevent this.<BR/><BR/>We're not after sympathy or anything, but would be nice if people lay off us staff and direct their disgust towards the top of the tree, we're not happy about how things are, losing data, etc, makes us look bad and we're as human as you all are really...<BR/><BR/>...and we have to pay those damn taxes too!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-57745595419054144672007-11-30T16:13:00.000+00:002007-11-30T16:13:00.000+00:00I used to be a member of that website, it was in f...I used to be a member of that website, it was in fact me who wrote about the punch bags and the stress balls.. it was not a serious demand, it was a spoof business proposal, done in the style of the real HMRC staff suggestion system.

Last Monday week HMRC sent the Rummage Squad into the Newcastle Child Benefit Office- these are the guys who search ships for drugs, arms ammunition and other serious contraband (along with a sniffer dog I gather) to search for the missing discs i.e. one last chance before Captain Darling would have to make it public<BR/><BR/>On arriving and ready to serach they were told under no circumstances to search lockers or office desk drawers since that would be infringing the human rights of the members of staffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
