A Breakdown in Communication

A Breakdown in Communication

Sean – the Site Manager (of the web page that is) tells me that people are time poor and that I need to make the items short, sharp and snappy
So here goes:- Lets look at this post which details A Breakdown In Communication

There is a large construction site

On large construction sites – there is often breakdowns in communications

The guys have a meeting and send the union guy to see the site manager with an ultimatum

The best way to get a message across is to have a meeting

“Boss” he says – the guys have had a meeting and they are all in agreement – we need locks on the toilet doors” (my description – not his)
The Site Manager thought for a while and said “don’t be ridiculous – there is absolutely no need”
“Boss the guys are adamant – we need locks on the doors”
 said the union guy

The Site Manager had another long think and said –

“I have been on Construction Sites for over 40 years – And I’ve never heard of a toilet door being stolen” 

“Get Back To Work”

Not Only – But Also…..
