    Hi,

    I heard tomorrow morning is the official Manager/Employee Job swap day.

    Does any one know where I can get more details of this online?

    Thanks

    Wait, what?

    What about those of us who work on our own. Do we become ourselves?

    Tomorrows my last day in this job so itd probably be a very bad idea giving me any power that day....

    Does this mean that tomorrow morning's temporary manager can sack the temporary employee and then become a permanent manager?

    Maybe if its something your company is doing, you can ask someone you work with?

    There is no such thing "Officially." It's not something I'd want to partake in.

    I'm guessing I picked the wrong forum.

    I heard it mentioned on the radio this morning, possibly FM 104.

    Can't find anything online.

    Thanks anyway.

    Unless it also swaps salaries, I'm not interested!

    It would be horrific if they tried that in my job. :eek: Spectacular though.

    Actually the whole idea of a job swap day seems ridiculous overall. I can't think of any of my previous jobs being suitable. The loss of productivity alone would make it unlikely.

    Daft idea.

    I'm not a manager, im fairly down the pecking order.

    Just part of a group trying to boost morale in the job.

    Thought it might be a laugh.

    Hopefully my colleagues are little less cynical.

    Being bottom of the rung I will swap with my manager and each of his successive managers until I am Managing Director. Top of the line, here I come!
