As some of you may know at
Halfords we run kids bike workshops, and over the years this has become my job. Not wanting to be overly modest I am very good at it and it's usually a lot of fun.
Recently however, I was passed over for a promotion to full time because it was a bike hut job, and went to someone with "more technical experience" than me.
Given that I was somewhat peed off, I decided to protest by opting for a "that's above my pay grade" approach to work. I flat out refused to do the last workshop, but nobody turned up anyway, but I haven't been able to wriggle out of this one.
My attempts to push the preparation off on to the bike team have been met with resistance and as a result nothing is ready and there will be a dozen brownies arriving at 6pm.
Usually I'd pack up all the goodie bags, organise all the kit, set up and do all the talking while my bike hut assistant puts his spanner where I tell him!
This time I think it's only fair that he, with his superior technical experience, be the one to do the bulk of the work.
So, question is - would you run around pulling it all together and deliver a workshop of your usual high standard, or sit back, do very little and watch it all go to pot.
