It's like if you have a boss at work, and you're working with answering phone-
calls.
And, your boss is yelling at you (through the room), that your phone is on wrap-
up, and that you have to start answering the calls again, since the five seconds
has passed (since the last call).
This, regardless, on if you are doing a worktask that needs to be done, in the
meantime.
And the managers are trained to do this, and the method, is call 'negative
reinforcement'.
So I was wondering were one could find more about 'negative reinforcement', in
conection with management.
So, I was wondering if anyone knew, where 'negative reinforcement', fittet in,
when it comes to the field of management theory.
And they didn't teach about 'negative reinforcement' on the courses in practical
management etc., that I participated on, when I was working as a store manager in
Norway.
So I was wondering if anyone knew more about the use of 'negative reinfocement' in
management?
I haven't lived that long in Britain, so it's possible that I've done a lot of
spelling mistakes etc.
But please just ask if there is anything that needs to be made more clear, and
I'll try to explain as good as I can.
Pom thinks that I.T. personel deserve their big wage and will not be tempted to go
on a course.
Well couldn't this be similar with that they shout at the representatives, and
only stop, when they answer the phones within five seconds?
Well it's a bit of topic I guess, but since I've started explaining about it, it's
from school in Norway, summer school in England, uni. in Sunderland and work in
Liverpool.

Quoted from this message
(Randstad staff could get paid for working over-time, but for Arvato staff only
interflex).
(Just so that I'm not writing anything wrong, because I don't know exactly to the
nearest pence, what the minimum-wage is at the moment. And I guess this pay is
really a bit above minimum-wage, so I thought I'd try to write it accurate. The
figures are by the way from last year).

Well the 'team leader' was using the word incorrectly. This team leader training
sounds pretty cowboyish. No management theory would advocate this kind of
behaviour. It is bullying and illegal.
While I was working at Arvato, in the Cunard building, I took this picture, with a
view of the Mersey.
So I was just wondering about the sculptured picture, on the wall of the Cunard
building, if anyone knew which ancient god or person this sculpture is of?
