Official line is the Oil and Gas market is struggling not many orders going round. Then you look on LinkedIn to find a local company have just taken delivery of a new machine. Giving increased capacity for Oil and Gas projects ahead.
NOV management at Gateshead are deliberately running down the manufacturing capability while sourcing cheap labour elsewhere. Mallet the two faced coward quite openly stated if he could get it done cheaper elsewhere he would. Well he is and he hasn’t got the ba–s to face us when announcing redundancies.

Q1 results dude this month. Buckle up.

Gateshead about to become laser quaser or indoor football. That said, flatten it the building alone leaks more than the 1950 compressed air system.

Let's talk about the shift coordinators actively stealing money from the company with ridiculous overtime whilst producers have none.

At least under the aforementioned lunatics we got stuff done. Since maggot arrived its been fk up after fk up. Bin men in positions of power, square pegs for round holes all over the shop. Has the correct material been bought in for any big job in the past year? Maggot will just blame the incompetent blame sheids he has under him whilst selling us out to India.

Olive Oil making fk up after fk up every week yet nothing said, how long can she get away with it?
She should be sticking to the job she was brought in for rather than trying her best to get involved in other departments.
I forget to put a chamfer on a flange and theres hell to pay 🤷

For the record i don't need an inspector to decide whether or not i should work over time, its getting a bit boring now to say the least.
He seems to have his own agenda but wants us in production to solve his problems.
How about stand up for yourself?
