When NatEx take over, I'd like to think they could be choosy about who
they keep but those damn TUPE rules will probably stop that
happening!!

Those damn TUPE rules helpfully stop a company from taking on only the
yesmen or those whose faces fit, regardless of their ability or lack
thereof.

Every company has its own disciplinary procedures to deal with people
who are incapable of doing the job - the fact that GNER seems happy to
have the amount of arrogant arseholes it does suggests that GNER feels
that sort of behaviour is acceptable. The complaints posted here
passim about the attitude of CT and MML staff suggests that NEG feels
much the same way...
