Goodbye music

[whisky]

And with one email some middle management twat decrees there will be no more music in any hull NHS building since they didn't want to cough up for a music licence.

The email also said this would take place with immediate effect, so all the radios fell silent.

The enforced dress code is coming next, sucking even more fun and individuality out of the job.

Things always work out well when the government decides to charge itself for something.

YOU'RE UNFORGETTABLE

Surely happy workers are productive workers?

 

[whisky]

You would think, but they seem to think "a happy worker is obviously doing something they aren't being paid to do"

 

[CaptainWacky]

What about iPods and the like? Surely you don't need a music license to listen privately.

 

[whisky]

It might affect my ability to hear the phone ringing, or someone knocking at the door, plus its pretty anti social to the other people in the room if I have earphones in.

I think I shall rebel tomorrow, and listen to Moyles, he hardly ever plays music anyway.

 

[The Tomtrek]

Just play music that's out of copyright!

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Yeah, put on Classic FM. Even if they do play anything made in the last century you won't know the difference.

 

[whisky]

In the end I had the radio on, but quickly turned it off if the phone rang or someone came to my door

 

[CaptainWacky]

Fight the power.

Stream some online radio stations at your desk nice and soft, or with an earpiece (do you work with a headset? Even better).

 

[whisky]

They banned streaming radios long ago, I don't work with a headset, but earphones will make it less likely I will hear someone coming through the door

 

[CaptainWacky]

Lock the door.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Having one earphone in, or just turn the sound down.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Hire a midget to hide under your desk singing to you.
