Macedonia means 'fruit salad' in Spanish and I think 'North Fruit Salad' is my favourite country name in a football tournament since 'Doctor Congo'.

This morning I'm feeling a bit like those mugs they interview pre-match confidently predicting Engerland are going to win thirteen or fourteen nil and then show on the news afterwards when we've failed to beat a team that hasn't won an international game since you could still smoke while in goal.

Happy to be here
Its some coded message for a certain plant? Post your numbers?

A somewhat misguided opening, I feel.

How are those two topics related?
In the minds of HR drones that want to tick their quota of making all employees feel like there is something wrong with them if they can’t feel happy at all times.

i know the smudge is true
And also it's on the employee if they have a problem, nothing to do with work/working conditions.

My glorious former employer is big on mentioning suicide rates amongst men on world mental health day. It's a box ticking exercise, they've made it abundantly clear on numerous occasions that the working conditions that likely contribute towards poor employee mental health are something employees just have to suck up.

but have some buzzword laden 'wellbeing' bullshit to take your mind off it...

Tired and unemotional
TBF, I've taught a few wellbeing sessions in businesses, and I hardly use any buzzwords at all
I find a generous larding of swearing generally gets the point across much better

Exactly. They like to post the bullshit on LinkedIn.
The last time they did I may have posted a pithy response saying they need to do more to stop things getting so bad, like running redundancy processes better and not sending random employee assistance programme leaflets without explanation then congratulating themselves on how great they are on mental health.
Someone from the workforce committed suicide a couple of years back so their faux concern just makes me angry.

So we have a marketing department who regulary updates our email signature with whatever ballocks they want to fill it with
sometimes its opening new offices or some award they entered, which you have to pay to enter and then ask us all to vote for
i don't
so we won another one strangely enough and they changed everyones email signature
no this is done overnight whilst none of us are present in the building just appears after you sent an email
one lass in the CS department was sent an email from the Customer service relationship manager for not having kind regards in her email signature
as she is customer facing, it was removed in the update
and people wonder why morale at the job is low

No prizes for guessing what some of your colleagues have been doing recently.
Makes a nice change from the credit card stuff though. How's that going?
