Years ago, probably 2013 now, I had someone on my team who was honestly brilliant. I would go as far as to say they were one of the best sales staff I had, amazing on the phone blah blah....
After about 9 months of being the star performer, I felt like they were getting a bit too big for their boots but they were still performing well above anyone else.
Back then I would bring my Dachshund into the office on some days to save time at home and also set a standard, as no other staff would've been allowed that.
So one Friday, the person closed their seventh sale of the day (company record at the time) and got really loud about it. They pointed to me and said 'Look at me. I am your top dog... I am the top dog in this place now' as people were applauding the person.
I was quite angry and embarrassed as, up to that point, I had the company record of 6 sales in a day which everyone on the sales floor knew and from my perspective the person was trying to mug me off massively.
I replied by saying 'Ok, so you're the top dog are you? Is that how you feel??' before going into my office and getting some dog biscuits i'd brought in for my pooch.
I made sure that when I left my office I slammed the door shut so people knew discipline was about to be handed out. I then threw this big, bulky bag of dog biscuits on the person's desk and said 'You're my top dog? Ok. You can eat doggy biscuits then, can't you? I tell you what, you be my top dog and I will feed you a nice little doggy biscuit.' as I then reached into the bag and held the biscuits in the person's face.
The person wouldn't eat them and said they were sorry for being loud and that was the end of it. I thought about giving them a disciplinary but decided against it so people didn't think I was petty. 1 month later they left too, which was a shame because they were brilliant.

No one is offended. The trust give money to certain charities in Liverpool so felt obliged to call the chanting inappropriate, during the cost of living crisis.
The only people upset are the easily outraged gammons which is why there is a story on it in the first place, because they are so easily upset. The media just use you because it's so easy. I work in the media and we regularly mock you whilst rolling around naked in the cash you generate us due to you being so easily triggered.
Please do not grow a pair, we would love to keep profiting from you.

Why would gammons be upset by this song
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I like gammon, but I don’t like gammon & pineapple
I like gammon & egg, I like gammon & chips, but not gammon & pineapple
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i like both, but not together. Either, Or, never both
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Try cooking a gammon joint in Coca Cola. You'll never look back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I did that one Christmas, scored the fat, added a maple glaze,. studded with cloves....looked proper job! tasted great. DO love a gammon 🍖
Wasn't a post on here calling some manager a gammon face all the time?
Who was that poster and who was the gammon face?

What a funny story, I think those stories are best left in the caravan.
The song/chant is outdated if anything, unemployment in Liverpool is basically in line with the UK average.
There is irony in our fan base singing it as well. The Tottenham area is one of the most deprived in the country and the 3rd poorest borough in London. You only have to walk round it to see the issues. Obviously though lots of Spurs fans come from more affluent areas of London and the Home Counties.
At the end of the day though, these songs and chants have been going on for decades and most people singing them don’t revel in the subject matter. What times your mini van is always a favourite when the city fan turns up.
When the low bar is Chelsea fans hissing the sound of gas chambers to the Spurs fans then I don't think a little bit of regional stereotyping is all that bad is it?
Jesus, the woke mob really are stripping out humour from society aren't they. We all know northerners hate southerners and I couldn't give a damn what you guys say about us. Grow an effin' backbone and throw some back if you're so upset. If we lose terrace humour and rival baiting, then you lose atmosphere completely.
Some chants are offensive, I completely get that but this one is mild. It smacks more of faux outrage, the sort you see on Twitter when classless individuals try to become the first to notice moral wrongdoing. You're not doing it because you're offended, you're doing to give the impression you're more morally upstanding than the rest of us.
Get a grip mate. There's a whole host of things in the world to get angry about and this isn't one of them.

He's either a brilliant budding comedian with a creative imagination or the biggest moron I've ever known. If this is real, I question his sanity, I really do. If it's not real then he's just created another comedy titan in the Partridge / Brent mould. Speak to the BBC Culer, you've got something there.
To reiterate. No one is offended. You being upset about people supposedly being offended is why it is in the news. If you didn't get upset, they wouldn't write about it. You are the issue with society. Not some made up "they". You bring your own anger on yourself. You are the cause of your own misery. You are your own downfall. You make your life a living hell. Why do you do this??
Football chants have been going on for years... most are just tongue in cheek/bit of banter...
Some can be offensive... ie based on a tragedy... Munich & Hillsborough, which is definitely out of order...
Sadly the Woke/PC/BBC brigade are taking over... no one is allowed to have a sense of humour anymore... in case it offends...
Everything is being scrutinised nowadays...
The Tottenham jewish dialect chant.... who bloody cares!!!
Can’t believe it’s actually been banned 🙄

The fact is she was doing really well and she broke my record. I had no real issue with that but when all the 'I am your top dog' rubbish started I had to make sure she knew who was boss and also the rest of the outbound BDM team.
Read Fergie's book about leadership and honestly I was doing some of it years ago. If anyone starts to think they're bigger than the manager then get rid of them at all costs, regardless of who they are.

I made sure that when I left my office I slammed the door shut so people knew discipline was about to be handed out. I then threw this big, bulky bag of dog biscuits on the person's desk and said 'You're my top dog? Ok. You can eat doggy biscuits then, can't you? I tell you what, you be my top dog and I will feed you a nice little doggy biscuit.' as I then reached into the bag and held the biscuits in the person's face.
The person wouldn't eat them and said they were sorry for being loud and that was the end of it. I thought about giving them a disciplinary but decided against it so people didn't think I was petty. 1 month later they left too, which was a shame because they were brilliant.

He's either a brilliant budding comedian with a creative imagination or the biggest moron I've ever known. If this is real, I question his sanity, I really do. If it's not real then he's just created another comedy titan in the Partridge / Brent mould. Speak to the BBC Culer, you've got something there.

Can't have been a busy branch of McDonalds if the record was 7 sales.

Years ago, probably 2013 now, I had someone on my team who was honestly brilliant. I would go as far as to say they were one of the best sales staff I had, amazing on the phone blah blah....
After about 9 months of being the star performer, I felt like they were getting a bit too big for their boots but they were still performing well above anyone else.
Back then I would bring my Dachshund into the office on some days to save time at home and also set a standard, as no other staff would've been allowed that.
So one Friday, the person closed their seventh sale of the day (company record at the time) and got really loud about it. They pointed to me and said 'Look at me. I am your top dog... I am the top dog in this place now' as people were applauding the person.

Read Fergie's book about leadership and honestly I was doing some of it years ago. If anyone starts to think they're bigger than the manager then get rid of them at all costs, regardless of who they are.

No one is offended. The trust give money to certain charities in Liverpool so felt obliged to call the chanting inappropriate, during the cost of living crisis.
The only people upset are the easily outraged gammons which is why there is a story on it in the first place, because they are so easily upset. The media just use you because it's so easy. I work in the media and we regularly mock you whilst rolling around naked in the cash you generate us due to you being so easily triggered.
Please do not grow a pair, we would love to keep profiting from you.

I like gammon, but I don’t like gammon & pineapple
I like gammon & egg, I like gammon & chips, but not gammon & pineapple

i like both, but not together. Either, Or, never both

Try cooking a gammon joint in Coca Cola. You'll never look back.

I did that one Christmas, scored the fat, added a maple glaze,. studded with cloves....looked proper job! tasted great. DO love a gammon 🍖

The song/chant is outdated if anything, unemployment in Liverpool is basically in line with the UK average.
There is irony in our fan base singing it as well. The Tottenham area is one of the most deprived in the country and the 3rd poorest borough in London. You only have to walk round it to see the issues. Obviously though lots of Spurs fans come from more affluent areas of London and the Home Counties.
At the end of the day though, these songs and chants have been going on for decades and most people singing them don’t revel in the subject matter. What times your mini van is always a favourite when the city fan turns up.

When the low bar is Chelsea fans hissing the sound of gas chambers to the Spurs fans then I don't think a little bit of regional stereotyping is all that bad is it?
Jesus, the woke mob really are stripping out humour from society aren't they. We all know northerners hate southerners and I couldn't give a damn what you guys say about us. Grow an effin' backbone and throw some back if you're so upset. If we lose terrace humour and rival baiting, then you lose atmosphere completely.
Some chants are offensive, I completely get that but this one is mild. It smacks more of faux outrage, the sort you see on Twitter when classless individuals try to become the first to notice moral wrongdoing. You're not doing it because you're offended, you're doing to give the impression you're more morally upstanding than the rest of us.
Get a grip mate. There's a whole host of things in the world to get angry about and this isn't one of them.

To reiterate. No one is offended. You being upset about people supposedly being offended is why it is in the news. If you didn't get upset, they wouldn't write about it. You are the issue with society. Not some made up "they". You bring your own anger on yourself. You are the cause of your own misery. You are your own downfall. You make your life a living hell. Why do you do this??

Football chants have been going on for years... most are just tongue in cheek/bit of banter...
Some can be offensive... ie based on a tragedy... Munich & Hillsborough, which is definitely out of order...
Sadly the Woke/PC/BBC brigade are taking over... no one is allowed to have a sense of humour anymore... in case it offends...
Everything is being scrutinised nowadays...
The Tottenham jewish dialect chant.... who bloody cares!!!
Can’t believe it’s actually been banned 🙄

I made sure that when I left my office I slammed the door shut so people knew discipline was about to be handed out. I then threw this big, bulky bag of dog biscuits on the person's desk and said 'You're my top dog? Ok. You can eat doggy biscuits then, can't you? I tell you what, you be my top dog and I will feed you a nice little doggy biscuit.' as I then reached into the bag and held the biscuits in the person's face.
The person wouldn't eat them and said they were sorry for being loud and that was the end of it. I thought about giving them a disciplinary but decided against it so people didn't think I was petty. 1 month later they left too, which was a shame because they were brilliant.

What a funny story, I think those stories are best left in the caravan.

It keeps staff on their toes though and shows who had the ultimate authority.

Years ago, probably 2013 now, I had someone on my team who was honestly brilliant. I would go as far as to say they were one of the best sales staff I had, amazing on the phone blah blah....
After about 9 months of being the star performer, I felt like they were getting a bit too big for their boots but they were still performing well above anyone else.
Back then I would bring my Dachshund into the office on some days to save time at home and also set a standard, as no other staff would've been allowed that.
So one Friday, the person closed their seventh sale of the day (company record at the time) and got really loud about it. They pointed to me and said 'Look at me. I am your top dog... I am the top dog in this place now' as people were applauding the person.

He's either a brilliant budding comedian with a creative imagination or the biggest moron I've ever known. If this is real, I question his sanity, I really do. If it's not real then he's just created another comedy titan in the Partridge / Brent mould. Speak to the BBC Culer, you've got something there.

The fact is she was doing really well and she broke my record. I had no real issue with that but when all the 'I am your top dog' rubbish started I had to make sure she knew who was boss and also the rest of the outbound BDM team.
Read Fergie's book about leadership and honestly I was doing some of it years ago. If anyone starts to think they're bigger than the manager then get rid of them at all costs, regardless of who they are.

Can't have been a busy branch of McDonalds if the record was 7 sales.
