steelmen Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It's just started in my place. The help desk guy in Australia BCC's people in but then in the first line of his email he puts in BCC : JamesWhy blind copy someone in and then tell you I've done it???Granted c***s that blind copy people in need a boot in the pie too. No better than lee Wallace! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have loads of email address groups in my work, and there's a lassie that doesn't quite grasp the concept and emails the group, but takes the time to copy every single person in that group into it as well. Annoys f**k out of me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoys f**k out of me. I was in an email chain today with 3 other people today, all 4 of us were in the same fucking room because I'm a functioning adult I just spoke my replies when required. It felt very surreal but equally infuriating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Ugh, why do some people with client-facing jobs feel the need to be condescending arseholes? Had to pick up a laptop from our IT counter and although the guy I dealt with was pleasant the other IT guy "helping" other people was a complete dick to them just because they didn't have the 100% correct paperwork. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat related, but people who email you then come up to you and ask if you'd received said email if you don't reply within seconds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A verbal response along the lines of "Yeah, sorry, I've a rule set up that puts all your e-mails straight into junk/deleted" always elicits a tasty reaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Used to work in an office where this girl used to openly watch Eastenders on BBC iPlayer during the working day. A guy in the same office spent most of his time watching street fighting videos on You Tube. Also knew a guy at RBS that literally did no work at all but went in every day and just worked on a picture he was doing in MS Paint, building it up pixel by pixel. It was a bay with a yacht, mountains and a sunset. I'm convinced if I did any of those things I'd be canned in a day but some people just seem to float above it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in RBS for a couple of years, often doing nightshifts where I literally had nothing to do. Utter deathly tedium. At other points it was twelve straight hours of total madness, not enough time to go for a piss. There were many, many malingerers in there though. Some people had it down to a fine art. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I used to work with a guy whose job requirements consisted of, as far as I could tell, playing solitaire on his computer. When clients visited the office, we had to take them the long way round to avoid walking past his desk. Towards the end of the nineties, the company went through several rounds of layoffs. He survived each one and for all I know, may still be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a few that spent all day watching love island at work recently. One guy that used to work in our department took the utter piss every Christmas, he would spend from the 1st December to about the 20th decorating the floor. Redecorating the trees daily and crumpling paper so we could have a "snowball fight" periodically. When he wasn't doing this he was watching either Elf or Die Hard on the big screen. Then when the euros was on he decorated everything in the flags of all the competing countries. And would spend as little time doing his work as he could. Thankfully I'm out of that team now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have the brass neck to do that then they also have the neck to cause trouble if questioned. Management can't be arsed with the hastle so they let it go. I guess that's why we have bell curves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 He sounds like quite the character. Last Christmas our work had a "cheesy jumper day" for xmas jumpers. He wore 6 on top of each other and kept re-entering the competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
