(1) You could grass a serious breach of law being systemically performed by an employer
(2) They duly get fined, but not closed down.
(3) The leak is traced to you, a sacking follows (yours, not the managers for breaching the law!) and no one gives a ■■■■, your sacking being considered “fair dues”.
Months later, you still can’t find another job, and the company re-instates the highly profitable law-breaking practice, but you are now no longer there to grass up on it. You might try, but now you’re just conisidered “umemployed scumbag on benefits” and therefore not worth listening to.
The moral of the story? - The law system is tilted in favour of lawbreakers with money over the honest without.
Don’t have a go therefore unless you’re able to figuratively get the knife in balls-deep, and twist it with fatal effect. You can’t merely “wing” someone in today’s business world, and expect to walk away from it. Facebook, and other social media have become “management tools” rather than “whistleblower hotline” which might have been otherwise everyone’s first impression.
Can’t fault any of the companies the agency sends me to. OK things can get a bit chaotic and fractious at one of them for a couple of days following a bank holiday but everyone just has to put their heads down and work through it, how the hell the TMs and planners keep it all running more or less on track I have no idea except there seems to be a friendly ‘can do’ atmosphere throughout the company. Now watch my next shift there be a right arris

According to my 17yr old line manager, if I were to post on a random forum that I had an extremely unpleasant experience during the delivery of my DIY items purchased from ‘Wickes’, then a record of that posting would land in his inbox within 1/2hr!
I say ■■■■■■■■ to that manager. It is no more than a search engine (like Google) indexing a website. It is not as if the moment Wickes is typed a big red warning light goes off and an e-mail dispatch. Could you imagine the amount of emails that manager would get, unlikely.
I dare say they operate a system that indexes Googles results, but doubt it is anything more sinister than that.
Surprised it’s only two people who have had a meeting tbh. Considering the paranoia some firms have around their blessed image I’d have thought there would have been a few naughts on the end. If companies spent as much time on the problems within the organisation as they do on preserving their image maybe folk wouldn’t need to use forums like this to air their views.

It is possible to get notifications when a certain word or term appears on the internet, I am notified by email every time the words “Jimmy Godden” appear on any new internet page, this is a Google service.

Its far more then two- those were just in the past week and were joined by a couple snotty solicitors letters ( about different subjects)- People have got to remember they are not having a simple bar room chat on here among mates, but it can be read by anyone, as the law stands they are publishing- and until the daft laws change they can be and are liable for what they post
Talking of snotty letters, I remember reading about somebody who’d received a snotty memo and wrote “round objects!” in the margin to show what they thought of it.A reply was duly received asking “Who is Round, and to what does he object?”
Well, I thought it was funny…

Probably a good job you’ve highlighted it really, i’d have never a thought that companies look on these sites.

Could he have been any relation to Don Godden, the famous Kentish grasstrack rider and engine builder?
And lets not forget the grasses, who read your posts. Scrutinise your pictures and then email your boss with some crap about how he needs to look at what you’re doing because you where …
a) driving to fast on a single carriage way
b) taking pictures whilst driving
c) not wearing a seat belt
or some other such ‘misdemeanour’.

No. There are companies who monitor review sites like Ciao, looking out for mentions of poor service or bad experiences.
If you were to post a negative review for instance, that the driver wouldn’t hiab your 1 ton bag of sand over the house & into your back garden, then these companies will spot it, within minutes, & inform their subscriber that someone’s slagging them off.
