DavidB - Well to be honest in these tight financial times it might be useful having a ghost on site, as long as he is productive of course.

Falkirk_mark - Unfortunately its well out of our hands on the shop floor.

Tell him you've called in Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural. They'll find the bone, salt 'em and burn 'em. No more trouble.

Why doesn't he just help the 'ghost' with whatever it is he needs help with?

No idea.

He also has a mark that apparently appears on his face (the chap, not the ghost) when he has been 'visited' but strangely it appears to be in a similar position to where I noticed he was constantly running his finger across his forehead (as if he has some sort of nervous tick) whilst he was working.

I'm not paid enough to deal with this cr@p.

Does he ride a bike ?

If so, get him to register on here.

**** it - I'll [i]give[/i] him a bike, if he registers on here.

.

Specially as all you non-believers appear to have driven simonralli away 🙁

Perhaps your HR dept will tell him to lay off the spirits?

Really honestly? Taking the piss almost constantly would seem to be the only option. Either that, or a transfer off your shift so it's some-one else's problem, or...the sack.

That would seem the obvious answer but apparently a few months back, whilst having discussion with the HR manager about the company wishing to move him to a day shift, the ghost popped his head around the door to say "hi" (or "help meee").

What I actually believe is the issue is along the lines of what you've said, he's terrified of the p!ss taking he'll get from the day shift.

BTW, this chap is also the night shift union rep.

And they voted him into this position!!

Are the rest of them as bad?

IMO that is no excuse to stop doing his job. Very weak from HR.

He is either able to do his job - in which case its a full shift - or he is not.

I wouldn't stand for it for one second.

So if the consensus is that you cannot allow a man's belief in ghosts to affect his work can we also rule out any special considerations for religious beliefs as there is no more evidence for the existence of any god than ghosts.

How would you know ?

Have you ever had a ghost annoying whilst you're trying to get on with your work - no ? Well you're hardly in a position to pass judgement - are you ?
