Maybe some people don't like just palming their kids off onto someone else?

Also how do we know that KP was given enough notice to get anything sorted.

I think in most peoples lives their children will always come before their job so I’m not quite sure what KP has done wrong here.


Try working in real world.


:shock: Surely ANY world you put your kids first?! Or is that just me??



If I asked to leave coal mine every day to pick kids up, I would have been sacked.


Surely working in a coal mine you'd be on a shift pattern so it wouldn't be every day?

They're at work for 4/5 hours a day and that would be stipulated in his contract.

Bloody hell, I'm in agreement with Dan, what an odd feeling!

Some folk need to realise that we don't live in the 80's anymore. It's completely unfair to castigate KP when the circumstances are not known

No we don't. Employers are much more accomodating these days. KP also works part time.

What we have here is a situation where an unsubstatiated claim that KP bunked off to do a school run, is the reason he's on the naughty step.

If there is any truth to the rumour, then it would have to be more than a one off to be an issue or KP opted to tell his employer he'd be going home early ( regularly) rather than asking.

I suspect, the whole school run story is a load of old pony.

We don't know where KP lives. He could live 2 hours drive away, thus meaning he'd have to leave at 1pm to reach his destination. If training was moved from say 10am to 11am then it would cause him a problem. That's when he needs to decide whether playing for us is more important than being there to pick his children up from school. Sounds like he's made the choice & I for one won't hold that against him, especially with what he's given us for the past few years.

Your right in that we don't know the facts. I'm just saying what I would do but obviously theres tones of factors. My point is if your asked to stay late by your boss, coz performance is crap and your a team leader. You muck in.

I don't really like the way you're having a pop at people who use child minders etc. Plenty of working people have to do that to survive and earn and feed their kids.

Very easy for you to quit FT and do what you do. Your lucky you have a job career that allows it. I'm in a similar boat as is my wife but plenty aren't and you've been pretty disrespectful there IMO. The ones who have a millions kids cant afford minders. The ones who use them are usually hard working professional people who have every right to a family and career without having to worry about the likes of snooty strawberries like you.

How do you know KP can afford a minder? You don’t.

And I’m sick of seeing parents dumping kids on other people because they can’t be arsed to look after them. At the end of the day if a career is more important to you than having a family you don’t have them. It’s like buying a dog then taking it back after 2 weeks. You’re either in it 100% or not at all. I know of people who actually pay out MORE money to childminders than what they actually earn just because they can’t be doing with looking after their own kids. That’s pathetic. If you think I’m being disrespectful then good for you because I really don’t give a damn what a H*slam apologist thinks. Can’t look after your own kids then you shouldn’t have them in the first place. A lot of people have them as a fashion item or to keep up with family members, they’re pathetic & it does my head in.

So a working couple are looked down upon from you just because they have the audacity to earn money and be able to pay for a child minder for a few hours a day. :lol:

Hilarious thread.

If (and it’s a big if) Pearce regularly skipper off training to pick up his kids then he’s in breach of contract and he’s in the wrong job unless it was agreed with his employer that an alternate work pattern was acceptable to both parties. The wider commentary about work is laughable. Employers are incredibly flexible on hours etc these days. I can work from home whenever I like within reason as long as I don’t kick the arse out of it. I come in early and thin out a bit earlier because it suits me and the business as I can get a look at the network and start sorting out any overnight issues.
Skipping work without employer agreement is not on and it also disrupts unit cohesion. If people see one getting preferential treatment then it will cause disruption

Yup, it also seems like it isn't us kicking them out the door and more a case of "your attitude stinks and if you don't want to be here, then leave" Esentiually, they're not forced to stay

Cocker is looking for a reaction.

He's publicly enforced his authority over KP and Mellis. If they do have poor attitudes then this works well whatever the outcome.

Either the pair of em piss off, or, they respond positively and show the Gaffer why they are there and what they are all about. Dare I say, it might galvanize them and focus their minds.

Takes real character to do the latter.

I doubt GC has taken the action he has against Pearce because he left early to pick up his kids under Dempster.

Much more likely he hasn't shown the right attitude to the current manager, probably in the 5 full days training they had last week.
