Report leapfrog employees

I find it really sad that people in the proffession of looking after children don't take their actions or opinions seriously. The affect of inappropriate, non constructive criticism can be devastating, especially in your proffession. It would appear that many of you working within the Leapfrog/Nord Anglia chain have become very disgruntled with the company and feel that your alone, fighting a loosing battle and nobody is listening to you. Well, maybe your right! I’ve probably had the best insight into the world of childcare than most of you, but I'm a firm believer in that, if you don't ask the right question, you will not get the right answer! Asking the right person for help can make a difference to the response that you get. Maybe there are people out there who believe in what your doing or what you stand for on the shop floor. Maybe there are people who are fighting your corner, maybe they’re pissed off too! It’s not just Nursery Nurse’s or Cooks who have a raw deal, the majority of staff working at Head Office deal with problems and pressures just as much as those of you on the front line. But you won't hear them slagging off the Company or putting excuses in the way, or thinking that the world owes them a favour! They do their job to the best of their ability and if that means a fight every day, then fight they will. The bigger picture can not always be appreciated by those in the corner. The company as a whole has gone through some big changes over the past year, some for the better and undoubtedly some for the worse. There are also more changes to come, but who knows what the outcome will be. I believe this company will survive, with or without Tracy Storey and it will succeed. The main reason I believe this, is you. People who are on the shop floor, doing the dirty work every day, people like Stephy who are passionate about their job, but just needs the right guidance. Everyone has their part to play though and if you don’t believe in the company you work for, why stay? And if you don’t want to believe in it, then get out and look for something else that will make you happy. Don’t however drag everyone else down or tar them all with the same brush. Life is to short and even though we live in a world of free speech, it’s my belief and mine alone, that there is a time and a place for everything and this is not the place to bite the hand that feeds you. Oh and one final thing, if nothing else, just remember this, “The grass is not always greener on the other side!”
