Drove half way to work only to find out that these 6 "Road closed" signs I passed indeed meant road closure. To my biggest surprise people were actually working ! Normally whatever company closes the road only puts the signage and forgets about it.
Then came to work to find out that all my work accounts have been closed! Wtf ... A colleague guessed that it could be a mess up because of another colleague retiring within days. Instead of taking all her access to work email, teams, cctv etc. IT dept did that with me. She's known by her nickname and my name is foreign so yeah why bother checking who's who. If that's true and I will disappear from payroll too I will be mightily annoyed. And having in mind that correcting mistakes take months and nobody's ever guilty I think it's time to look for a new job in case I will find out I "retired", according to work HR.
It's the "new system" they use now.
One team comes out to put out all the signs, barriers. Another comes out to do the digging, another team then does the work required. Then another team comes back to fill in the hole(s), it won't be the same team that did the digging, they're too busy digging somewhere elsewhere. Then you get another team that, if your lucky, come and remove ALL the signs and barriers, storing them nearby, behind barriers, for another team to collect for their next job.
It cuts down on storage space required at the depot's. And they'll know where they were left to boot.
If you disappear from the payroll, because you've been "retired", will that mean they'll pay you for doing nothing/not showing up at work?
Maybe the person who retired will be expected to do your job now.
In all seriousness, I hope they get matters sorted out fast.
