Manson was a disaster just like the present management of the packet. Keeping a company at arms length is like lighting the blue touch paper and stand well back, disclaim all knowledge. Is that Charles Manson?😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t matter what time of the year was involved. Let’s be realistic, Allinson, the SPCo and IOMG are flexing their muscles and spoiling for fight. It’s rather pointless and pathetic, matters should have been addressed ages ago and not foisted on people. From hearing both Management and Allinson, they come across as heartless and uncaring.

Albert Tatlock Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I suspect a petition signed by a lot of island residents would be very much to the staff's benefit. Likely get a lot of support as the onboard sleeping is totally unnecessary IMO. Fine if they agree it for TT and the run up to Xmas maybe...but other than that there are no major benefits. I'd certainly sign such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 The directors and management should be left to run the business without political interference. Anything else is asking for trouble. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if the great manx unwashed expressed their opinion/backing to the crew...would make a big difference IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else is asking for trouble. Agree fully with that. However there is a certain irony in the SPC forcing staff to work long hours holed up on a boat for weeks on end not able to go anywhere else when they’re making criminal investigations into others for modern slavery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that IOMGs obsession with creating ‘arms length organisations’ help. It’s certainly raises questions, then ‘commercial confidentiality phrase gets trotted out.

2112 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Just now, WTF said: maybe they should be made to live onboard too Some of those working on board are probably happy and prepared to live on board, I’m sure those will have accommodation to stay, on their free weeks, whilst some may fly off to their home country for a break. Living on board isn’t for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living on board isn’t for everyone. Is it open to all? Could give me a break from Mrs VOR, or she from me. There is a commercial opportunity there which could be exploited. Lifeboat living could be offered as discounted rates. Personally I’d like to spend a few days living in Mr Thomson’s office, slopping out in his waste paper bin.
