David Dickinson thinks forestry is a sure-fire investment according to a former Ebor Forestry employee.Ebor Forestry employ quite a lot of people across the Broad Acres and beyond and we pride ourselves on our equally important opportunities policy and believe in investing in people and stuff but sometimes you realise that someone`s taking the piss.
Our office has a big whiteboard with the various contract managers names down one side against which they can scrawl their planned destinations for the day or if they are on holiday, for example. This gives the office staff half an idea of where they are and therefore coordinate their movements, arrange meetings and so on.
We became suspicious over the regular absence of a certain junior member of staff recently when during the course of a week his movements read as follows:
Monday - 2:00pm, Dickinson`s Plantation.
Tuesday - 3:00pm, Titchmarsh SSSI.
Wednesday - 4:00pm, Midsomer Corpse.
Thursday - 4:40pm, site meeting with Dick and Dom in da Bungalow.
Friday - subcontractors meeting with Tricia and Jeremy Kyle - all day.
The last straw came with the following Monday`s whiteboarded whereabouts:
Monday - 12:30pm, deep ploughing ITV`s Loose Women.
Needless to say the skiving time waster doesn`t work for Ebor Forestry anymore but has apparently gained employment with a forestry investment company called Cash in the Attic.
