Default Motorsport Developments - New Staff = Better Support.

Hello Everyone,
Any of you guys who prefer to buy on the telephone as opposed to online will no doubt realise we can be really hard to get hold of on a telephone due to workload.

Well hopefully that problem will be massively alleviated now. We have taken on two extra members of staff this last few months to help with phones and mail order, the first started a few months ago and is now finding her feet, the second, after a fortnights training, officially starts today in her new role as receptionist.

So please, if you have given up trying before, please try us again now, we look forward to supporting our existing customers products and of course helping more of you to spend your money very wisely.

Those of you who cant use the phone for fear of being sacked, can still buy online here of course.

Kind of, see below....


Motorsport Developments LTD Company Policy:

Effective from February the 1st 2011




Dress Code
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary.
If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you
are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress
poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you buy
nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just
right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a
raise.


Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctors statement as proof of sickness. If you
are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.


Annual Leave Days
Each employee will receive 104 Annual Leave days a year. They are called
Saturday & Sunday.


Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict
three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an
alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will
open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offence, your picture
will be posted on the company bulletin board under the chronic offender's
category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the
company's mental health policy.


Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that
they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a
balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes
for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.



Thank you for your loyalty to our company.
We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, Complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations,contemplationšs, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.
