Getting let to watch the football at work.
- Thread starter Anominity
- Start date
Why do you like watching a bunch of men typing letters on a computer forum?
Touché.
oddly, out company (large regional one) decided to block BBC Sport and anything football (and i mean anything) only way i found results was from my mobile, we then had an email from head office and our other 4 offices saying they were all watching it on their TV's... (our centre doesn't have TV's)
I think i will be emailing the Director tomorrow!

We had the option of clocking off at 3PM (And working the time back later), but bizarrely we weren't allowed to leave the building (we all wanted to go to the pub) and could only watch it in the Tea-Room 
.
I absoultely refused to do that out of sheer principal. So I had the least productive afternoon ever out of spite.
Not a good move by management. That decision upset just about everyone in the workshop.

What's up with people?
Your management actually allowed you to go and watch football in the tea room but you refused - madness.
This is just like the thread I started the other day where working class people moan moan moan even when management do something good.

Not really, whats the point in taking time off - which he says he had to make up - and be prevented from leaving the building?

They were letting them watch the footie.
If they had offered me the same deal I would have jumped at it.
This is exactly what happened in a department full of young people yesterday at the hospital.
They told them they could go and watch the football in the tea room as long as they worked the hours back and they all refused.
Unbelievable.
Working in a large Ad Agency in London we were all treated to sofas, big screen and free beer and wine!
Everyone enjoyed that although curiously there's not many people in early today. We were also very lucky not to be affected by the large power cut that West London had yesterday afternoon.

Working at a financial institution in the City, the company have set up live feeds to our workstations so rather than everyone watching the games on iplayer/ itv (or bunking off), we can just watch the games on our monitors through mediaplayer.
Generally means that at 1pm and 3pm every day most people have a little window of green on their second monitor
