Its that time again.

A bit off topic here guys, but I'm a Techie (god only knows what my trade title is now) but I've ended up working in a combined service desk and commcen and the heirarchy here is a mix of techs and peanuts. The techs on shift have been told that we now have to do some OJT on the peanuts equipments and learn how to do signals etc.
Just wondering if anyone knows if we have to do this or if we can tell them where to go, along the lines of "if I wanted to be a peanut, I would have joined as one".
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

My thoughts would be precisely that - tell them to ram it. I'm not one of the ones who whinged about the re-structure but I'm starting to have serious reservations.
I'm the only TG3 in a section full of Assimilated ex-TG11....the other day I handed an SAC a multi-meter to check for 240v on the end of a power cable. I was met with a blank stare and the words "can you do it? I haven't got a clue"

Converesely, I hand all enquiries about signals straight ovet to them. I've recently "inherited" the custodian job and I ALWAYS double check with my ex-TG11 JNCO before I do anything.

Mug, Sorry poking my big fat nose in, but there are plenty still ticking over, for how long no one know's alot of stations still use ex peanuts to run them.
