They tend to label someone they do not like as a poor performer and will more likely promote an awful performer that they like.

Oh, you poor possum.

No the other way - I may have done it myself, we all think that the people we like are doing a good job - its just human nature.

I think people who are doing a good job - are usually doing a good job.

The girl who last week worked back to 10pm to ensure we got our month report out to the execs on time is a good performer.

The guy who would p*ss off at 5 "because he doesn't get paid to stay back" that I had in Melbourne was not a good performer.

I didn't like him because of his work - I like her because of her work.
It's the old horse following cart scenario.

Expecting unpaid work is not an indication of performance.

People going home at the end of their paid work day is not an indication of poor performance.

In my line of work - we provide support services to the senior management.
We're not clock watchers 9-5. We need to be able to work to deadlines.

Walking out the door at 5, when there is sh*t to do is NOT a good employee.
Fact.

As long as they are paid for the time and it is in their contract its OK, If it is just expected out of the goodness of their heart it is not a measure of performance.

Out of interest woody - where do you stand on it?

Are you self-employed to employee of a company?

I ask because I have never been self-employed and this may drive differences in opinion.

Not of relevance to the discussion.

It means he's an inter-generational dole bludger

I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt Macca - that he isn't the classic New Zealander in Australia on the dole charicature.

But he makes it very hard.

He has no education, he's as thick as mince and he seems to be on here and watching tv in the middle of the day.

Unless he works nights at a petrol station - it's hard not to think he is on the dole...

Happy to be told wrong though and I will offer him an apology.

He's been trying to link his pro-Green vote on these forums since 2008 hoping to get pre-selected for the Greens

I applaud the Greens that they've resisted his advances so far

But after the next election - they might so that desperate to entertain the idea

Nice of you two to show such interest in me, although your discussion is in the wrong section. Take it to relationships.

This thread is on the devious plans of the right to con workers.

The only guarantee the workers have are via voting for the Greens in the Senate, so to counteract any extremist agenda either old party trawls out post election.

Well Abbott has said there will be no workchoices. The only people who trouble with believeing him are the suckers who fell for Gillard 'no carbon tax' promise. bad luck, losers!

And since he said that he and other government ministers and the business community have been pushing discussion on unfair dismisal, W/E rates, PH rates shift penalties etc. We won't have workchoices just all the conditions which came under it?

you cant just end changes in industrial relations and conditions. The world doesnt stop just because we have a luddite govt that felt the need to return to 1990s style IR.
