Enterprise in Ireland

to be sure to be sure to be sure to be sure to be sure!

I knew all along that that WAS NOT Bruce as he corrected me enough times on the spelling of his name when he got to Ireland first. Your game is really up buddy the spelling is PFEIFER sorry to burst your bubble.

Hey Guys whats happening? There seems to be a lot of trash talking about me here. This will be my first and also my last response to anybody unregistered posting here. I registered using the correct spelling but I have forgotten the password so registered something similar. You guys never got it right anyway! PM me if you think I "know" you. Otherwise shut the fuck up.

Well, I do know Bruce and he is not that rude to speak to ANYBODY LIKE THAT. The real Bruce is a great guy and one of the best Managers I have ever worked with and for.

To be sure

you people really amuse me sometimes. This site also seems to attract do gooders are hell bent on defending Enterprise. Get a grip people, Enterprise couldn't give a fuck about you, you are just another employee with a number.

Well if you are a Branch Manager you must like to place and have worked hard also or are you the type that just wants the experience to move and claim " I was a manager"

I rest my case! All I have to do is throw the bait out and the fish start biting! You are a classic example of what I'm talking about. Man you get so insulted, like I'm talking trash about your mother. Why do you feel like you have to come on to this site and defend Enterprise? It's like you've got a version of Stolkhome Syndrome or something. How many other companies do you know of where theres a forum like this allowing people to vent their frustrations? I don't know of any! I no longer work for Enterprise but I get a lot of pleasure in doing my bit to make life a little harder for them in Ireland.

Have you ever considered that it may be possible that all businesses in Ireland are managed like this? Could it be true, surely not. The sight of Managers having to put out their company cars on rent over Christmas was one of the best.
Where Enterprise' business plan fails is that there never seems to be a plan that is communicated to the Staff from the ground up, I have worked in Companies where the MD got everyone together once a month and discussed what we did that month and what we wanted to do for the one coming and not just financials either. They tried to work on organisational aspects even down to fairly simple suggestions that factory floor staff had to offer ( some of those ideas saved thousands over the year and the employees who suggested them got a bonus). I know for a fact that MH tried to get Managers thinking about this, he even bought them all one quite famous book by Dr. Steven Covey that you may be aware of. One "Manager" that I have known definitely didn't get a lot out of it and admitted cheerfully that they don't read much. In fairness, I think this person had a learning disability and surely had not attended any Third Level Institute. No fault of theirs but a good blagger they were nonetheless. On a re-read, the above looks a bit bitchy. I have nothing in particular against this person but they made more mistakes in reading and writing than anyone I had ever met but did the job quite well.
My point is basically that there is a lot of literature and courses to take out there and some of the Staff are quite well educated, so why is the Management so badly organised?

How's that mass exodus working out in Ireland? I heard that managers were like rats deserting a sinking ship... How's the new senior management team working out?
