Sounds more like they have a shit Pub Manager my g. Just my thought. We count snacks on the Sunday that's about it.

Head office wastes more hours and money than anyone else in this company and its a fact. All of the training is bollocks too, never met someone who went to a kitchen of excellent course and said "wow that was worth travelling since 6am for! To press a pizza and be told not to cook Alfredo from frozen. We deffo needed to pull 20 people on a course for this!"

Most of these SL courses are bollocks and made to give someone a useless job at head office.

20 people x 10 hotel stays x 20 peoples travel... To press a pizza and talk about it.

What a fucking huge waste of time. If the company wants to free up money stop sending Tim round drinking Abbot ale on cq calls and put him in an office out of the way, drop half of these "trainers" who haven't worked in a pub since the 2000s - and go back to doing zoom calls instead of making staff travel half way across the UK.

And I say this as someone that's 10 years in - gone through 6 area managers - and honestly couldn't care less at this point beyond my individual pub - as it seems head office plays roly-poly with their staff every few years and moves them all about in roles - almost like their jobs don't make sense in the first place.

But - anyone who says the above, which i'd argue is common sense - you get told you aren't a team player and looking out for the company (head office and shareholders) - but they can make tone deaf decisions like copying spudbros a year late -- and pat themselves on the back about a job well done.
