Looks like Ratcliffe is going for the big decisions quickly at Man U

Ratcliffe cites email traffic in imposing remote work ban at Manchester United

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has told Manchester United staff to seek “alternative employment” if they are not willing to come to club premises

That should have them flying up the league

From the article:

"He informed the club’s approximately 1,000 employees that email traffic dropped by 20% when one of his companies experimented with work-from-home Fridays, which he cited as the reason for his diktat.".

I naively (perhaps) thought that a drop in email traffic would be a good thing because it would (could?) mean that people are actually doing their jobs rather than pinging meaningless emails to and fro.

I am sure that we have all worked somewhere, or with someone, where the volume of email traffic can impede you getting on and doing the job you are paid for.

"Did you get my email?" No, you melon, I was offsite and busy doing my job.

I see Big Jim's housekeeping tour at Man U made it into Squires' cartoon this week (along with Wilder's sandwich obsession)

Fair play to him, he’s been in charge and he wants them in.

He’ll be able to get a few off the payroll if they are not actually prepared to come to work.

I thought Ratcliffe was supposed to just be in charge of the football side?

This is more of a HR thing isn't it?

I'd probably just tell him to f*** off and continue working from home and take it right through the legal system.

But he's the man with the wealth and power, and you know how the legal system likes to roll over for those with that.

If I was in that situation then I would not b egoing back to the office anyway so would just go long term sick whilst it all played out. Whilst looking for another job.

I'd say, tell you what Jim, I'll come in the same days you come in, how'd you like them apples.

And what law would you cite when going through the legal system?

 

[Mustoes boots]

When it comes to Ratcliffe my view on him is a will completely ignore a tax exile who wants the British taxpayer to pay for his new stadium. So British and pro Brexit he moved himself and his company out of the UK and after promising to build his tonka car factory in the UK renaged on that

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

And what law would you cite when going through the legal system?

Would depend what it said in my contract about where my place of work is.

Unless it stipulated that I had to work from x location for x amount of my time then I would be perfectly entitled to work from home as it had already been established that I could do the job successfully from my home location.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

And what law would you cite when going through the legal system?

It wouldn't matter what you cite, it's corrupt and there's only one winner.

How is it fair play to change people's lives because he feels like it?

Unless it is stated in your contract you have no legal right to work from home.

You do have the right to request it but the employer is not obliged to grant the request if there is a business case against it.

 

[Low_Key]

apparently he can't work there either as he is a tax exile :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

and these F***ing programme sellers saying they want to work from home on matchdays are taking the ****...

Not if I am already successfully doing my job from home.

They have already asked me to work from home so that is my place of work, consequently they have no legal right to change my place of work without my acceptance.

I almost wish I worked for Man U so I could take this through employment tribunals and the legal system. Would be interesting.
