I thought Bushbasher must've been a proctologist and optometrist, because he keeps talking about how he works with people who are ar$eho!es and people who are blind.

Besides a major international roof rack manufacturer blatantly ripping off my design on a 4wd accessory with identical pricing to push me out of the market, There's also another product manufacturer who is using my products name as a product tag on his own website to attract more searches.

Yes I have no patent or the like on my single product as I am like a few blokes on this site who is passionate about 4wding and wanted to help out fellow 4wders by giving a little back and provide an affordable product.

Greedy F*&%kers.....

I was once referred to as a "McGuyver" in the outback. I got things done, achieved results, never failed a mission. I was a "go-to-guy" and got sent in to sort other people's shite out. The bosses used my successes to feather their own nests and climb the corporate ladder. Now, I am just another number. I have no love for them any more. Roll on retirement.

Know exactly how you feel. Story of my life. There are those who knuckle down, bend over backwards to get the job done, and then there are those who pick your brain and use 'their knowledge' to climb over you to get to the top. But their lack of any real ability eventually sees them tumble. I had one guy who was promoted over me and wanted to know why production had stopped. I told him it might have something to do with the annual maintenance shutdown and all the machines were stripped down and in pieces.

Never sacked a guy on a whim or dislike , always have spoken to the persons co workers beforehand about it to get the feel of what is happening, in this case i have busted my arse previously to not have him sacked due to his potential , young bloke knows everything , once it clicks he will be an asset.
today he pulled a sickie so i am in a conundrum

"Young Blokes" have always been a problem, had a few good ones turn feral when they started drinking/drugging after they turned 18. Frustrating when experience tells you this bloke can be good but he is too busy having fun.

I used to sit them down have a face to face with them, telling them you were on the right track but now you aren't, what can we do about it.

Some calmed down and found a balance, others just goofed off and eventually got sacked.

Goes to prove those who suck up to upper management win out.

I agree that bosses should not be able to sack on a whim but Gees! surely the other staff should be able to vote them out.

It's time to leave the island LOL

Always! Been there, done that.

Sorry to hear your predicament, it's not nice.

Being taking into a closed door meeting to discuss work and being made redundant after 10 years and having the best sales figures in the state.
So much for loyalty.

Wife works at a place with 1 person out of 8 that is really slack, HR are very cautious so they have issued about 10 warnings but no bullet. In the meantime the other staff have to take extra precautions so that people don't end up dead because of the careless habits of the bludger.

Has never happened to me

Count yourself lucky then. It can be done for very trivial and unfair reasons too, not saying that is the case with your worker but it's an easy out for some managers.
