They are definitely blagging. He wanted time off this coming week but we were too busy and it was to short notice. I will send they boys round to do some surveillance 😂 Just tell them you're sending round a 3rd party lab to test between X and Y tomorrow morning to confirm. See if they chirp up.. Good blag.

Your solution is vastly more difficult to do than you imply - as you would know if you have any experience at all of trying to implement booking systems. Why not just give people a time to turn up? ETA: you'd be whining about the cost of your solution when the bill came in. I have experience of implementing this kind of thing. It's not complicated at all if done right. Costs? Really? This kind of thing would actually be useful to people and life on the island so why would that be an issue? It would actually save money as it would result in fewer wasted doses of vaccine.

There would be outrage, and quite rightly. This is a screwed up situation. He expects me to pay him to sit on his arse for a while. What am I supposed to do?

But what he should be doing anyway is getting a confirmatory PCR test done at the Grandstand - and that seems to be happening quite fast at the moment according to Numbnuts, so he should have to wait long for either test or result (as I said above they've actually been busier).

I have staff sending a photo of a positive test, but refusing to give any more info and I think they might have just found an image online. Google lens can’t help. thanks I thought from previous correspondence it was a happy crew, all giving up their time to work on projects at the weekend etc, when not obliged to, (unless attending a christening) in return for a relaxed attitude when time off needed to look after sick relatives and the like. Give and take etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give and take etc If he has it (after doing a test, and not otherwise knowing) he can have any time off he needs. The conversation this week about needing time off next week just makes me a bit suspicious, especially when he is still in his probation period. I was only asking a simple question.
