Stormy day.

Oh well, I guess it's all in the game: today is storm day in Europe. And naturally, your's truly has to work today - Jackpot, yeah! I already heard from the colleagues from the morning shift that several flights have been cancelled, many that should have left already haven't even arrived yet in Amsterdam and above it all we only have skeleton staff on duty! What does our superior say to us if we complain about it: "to every day comes an end" or "if something goes wrong then even six people on duty wouldn't help" or how about this one "in the evening, you'll have drink again"... Excellent motivational management skills, don't you agree? :-D

Update: it was stormy and my poor colleagues from the morning shift really had a hard day. But during my shift the problems were bearable. Lots of delays, yeah, but nothing that we could not handle and no "storm" at the counter :-P

The management style is called "coaching", since you are and experienced employee you are not supposed to be motivated any more, I've learned... LOL!!!!

Well, whatever it's called and whoever analyzed it: he's in for a surprise! We all definitely need motivation as that is at a historical low, we all only shake our heads about such nonsense remarks... but thanks Jörg for clarifying it, I didn't know this. ;-)

Hahahahaha, I was joking for 90%! Of course everybody needs motivation!
