I must seem very unoriginal these days, but here's another comment promoted to a new post - this time from "Fan of Dominique":-Barmy personally gave Dominique a spot quite early on Saturday. She was placed in an aisle of eight stalls,three of which were jewellery stalls, one t-shirt stall & the 4 remaining did bags of one sort or another (including Dominique). The stall opposite her (a new trader - doing women's cloths & BAGS ) was given a spreadover ( he's so kind to the new young girls ). I bet Barmy chuckled to himself all the way back to the office. He sure knows how to dish out a really creative mixture of stalls -- I don't think so !! Pat at least gave Dominique a better position on Sunday. Barmy goes on & on about creative priority, creative this & creative that, but doesn't even have a single blip of creativity in his (miss) management of the market or how he dishes out the stalls. He just doesn't see the bigger picture, even though he carries around a copy on his clipboard ( as a security blanket )to make him feel important His creativity seems to be confined to how he repairs his battered ego & how he wreaks revenge.
What can one say? A common response to "trouble makers" is to swamp them with competition. I have other examples, which I'll post from time to time. In the meantime, let's see what happens to Dominique on Barmy's next shift.

yes look at jenny. she works hard, brilliant display and yet she had to fight barny for her position. she has been passed by for newer traders doing less brilliant things, time and time again.just look at the girl who sold 'handmade'sandals then left to come back with cheap underwear(designed by her,via primark)who then got prime location. why?
I know I'm going slightly off the point here, but I just wanted to say Marketeer that your chosen pictures for the postings are very good. I particulary like this one!
i think we should be wary of pat. who took her in and gave her all that was possible?
ben
who's shoes did pat jump into?
bens
is she coping?
no
I think it is a shame because I really like Patricia. But at the end of the day, she chooses to work for GSM and I just can not trust them as a company, not after how they have treated the stallholders. I know it's a job for her but I could never work for a company like GSM who seem to turn a blind eye to the wellbeing of their customers (ie traders). Doesn't Eric Reynolds fear his own reputation if word gets out (and it will) that he seemingly condones the actions of bullying management tactics.
Pippi Longstocking (great name by the way) - I know exactly what you are talking about here. But we are getting into seriously dangerous territory. So I'll leave it there for now.
right about pat.
