Stealing? Or a Perk?

28 March 2012 By Alan Straton

Skinnerbek Dishing The Dirt

The big shot in charge of a large listed wholesaler of alcohol and other FMCG goods has a 'personal store' on the premises of the business. In this store lies a lot of high end alcohol. Every now and then he sends a lackey to carry stock to his personal vehicle which he then leaves in, from work, at the end of the day. To employees it looks like the big shot is overstepping the mark and either 'stealing' or the recipient of an 'unusual perk'. All are afraid to question the … [Read more...] about Stealing?

Put out a tender for a major Easter Event. Accept the lowest tender and then demand the winning company cuts the tender price by around 25% to R2 million. Take months and months to pay the pittance. Just for the record - thinking like a businessman goes like this: A far more effective tender would have stated; "The municipality has R2 million to spend on an event - send us proposals based on your best version of this event given our seed capital injection". Pay a substantial amount … [Read more...] about How to think like an idiot politician

To the guy spotted on Hobie Beach "doing his thing'/'polishing his orb' or whatever term is appropriate - you should be damned ashamed of yourself.

Quite disturbing to hear that a national company is "cleaning up" their executive team by asking potential high level employees to confirm that they are NOT gay before the potential employee is offered a job. Are these questions next: "Please confirm that you are not now or ever have been white/male/female/black/coloured/indian/heterosexual/promiscuous/friends with JuJu/?"

Skinnerbek Dishing The Dirt

"Is a certain auto dismantling business engaging in malicious damage to property by deflating tyres, loosening air valves and placing threatening letters on windscreens?" Now if you were parking in the bays reserved for disabled persons then I would say to the business; "Go on right ahead Tyrannosaurus and stomp on that car parked illegally". If not, then get a life!.
