Terrorist Alert
Just thought I'd share this, as its annoying me as I'm pretty busy, and I'm leaving the current company ion 3 weeks but, I'm having to go on terrorist training with work today??!!!
Now I could understand if I was in the army or police or any other of the emergency services, but I'm a bleedin' accountant for a health insurer, I could probably count any terrorists, or perhaps bore them to death with the in's and outs of UKGAAP or SORPS 2005, but come on!!
We're getting taken to a secret "bunker" (we're not alllowed to know where it is and have to get a coash - not certain if we are being blindfolded half way there yet though, but rumour has it its in Warrington) to make sure that the company can continue to operate come arrmagedeon, its a bleeding insurance company if arrmeagedeon hits we'll be bankrupt anyhow!!
Anyone else had to do anything like this? Anyone know the point in it?
I'd sort of hoped that if terrorists attacked Salford Quays they'd ignore BUPA and hit the Scum, or if they did hit BUPA we'd be allowed home for the afternoon, not shipped to a "bunker" to carry on work!

When I was at school I worked in the Disney Store in Chester, and I was trained how to deal with a terrorist phone call.

major companies have to do this sort of this for a number of reasons, not least insurance. They also have to be able to demonstarte th Business Continuity Plans for Auditors who validate their accounts as a "going concern" without BCP their risk profile increaes and teh liklihood investors will want to put their money in reduces - shre prices fall
And mummy, you'd be surprised how many stores like that get bomb threats, it's not just the store that's targetted it's the area they are in.

You notice a bomb ticking ... you try & throw it away but it sticks to your hand ... you stretch your arm to an infeasible 20 yards long & shake the bomb loose. It lands on a passing Roadrunner which brings it back to you.Puskas wrote:Fantastic!

You notice it ... just as it goes "Kerboom" ... you are left blackened & smoking.
What's to learn ??
