Today at Festival Square... presented by the Unite union... a little scenario for our amusement and education... Some people dressed in comedy suits, representing the "fat cats". Some people dressed in regular attire, representing the "ordinary bank workers". An obstacle course, including such activities as "jumping through hoops" (seen here) and "avoiding the sack" (sacks visible on the ground). A woman with a microphone, giving a "witty" commentary.
Now, I have every sympathy with "ordinary bank workers" and no sympathy at all with "fat cats", but this display was neither funny nor informative. It was embarrassing. If I were in senior management at a bank (which I'm not), I would have concluded that my staff were idiots. If I were a member of Unite (which I'm not), I would have questioned why my representatives were wasting their time and my money on this nonsense. As it is, I just snapped and moved on...

It does seem a bit ludicrous but it makes for a good image for the day. Nearly the weekend... Hooray!
ReplyDeleteWell, it makes an amusing photo, even if that's not what unions are supposed to do! Unfortunately, the fat cats will get away with it again, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteWhat WERE they thinking? I don't see heaving, cheering crowds....wonder why? Make a great pic though! Roll on the weekend....I think I'll spend it sleeping. Have a great one!
