Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 People coming into work sick. You're not a hero, you're not that important, you're jeopardizing the health of colleagues and you're just being an attention seeking arsehole. And on being told to stay the f**k home deciding to soldier on and work from home and making sure everyone knows about it. People don't think you're a hero, they think you're a cretin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been with the company for fifteen years but hey ho. My boss, who to be fair is pretty sound, told me to take the rest of the day off and go ride my bike. It's a cold but beautiful day here so I think I might just take him up on that. Does Mrs S not work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company went public about 3 years ago and since then it's been one round of layoffs after another with a revolving door on the Executive boardroom. Last summer they laid off 10% of the company and there have been 4 smaller rounds since then. All the usual Corporate Excuse-ometer, "Leaner", "More Focused", "Positioning ourselves for the future." All just weasel words for "We want a bigger bonus." Morale is at rock-bottom but hey, that's not management's problem is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some new boxing gloves with green flashes on black and struggling to find an outfit that works with them. ETA, the FBI reading P&B is a pleasing thought. "Sir, we believe the acronym "Wid" is a reference to some sort of improvised device, they have a rogue agent codenamed Grimbo who specialises in fireraising and a special division of the most dangerous, deranged individuals codenamed "Juniors". Div is getting a drone strike right up the jacuzzi. They're already well aware of Bible John. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Pussy health and safety rules like having to wear a high vis, glasses and a helmet regardless of what you are doing.

weirdcal Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 "Your password is due to expire in 12 days, would you like to change your password?"No I wouldn't, ask me in 12 days you electronic c**t. My work updated the password reset function 5 security questions set up for resetting it and the next page asked for 3 different ones should I need to phone the IT helpline.8 questions in order to change a password and I still got the automated reminder the next day as apparently there is a cut off time to update it before it runs for overnight email run.The PTTGONYNS for today is descaling light came on the tassimo. The little disk you need to run this has long gone missing due to house moves. There is no realistic way to start the program without the descale barcode on that disk. Had to Google the barcode. Print it off and sellotape it to a used disk and run the thing (bought descaler at a store rather than hunt down the tassimo own brand one that's not on sale anywhere but amazon) 2 hours later and the sodding light is off and the machine is use able againWhat a pain in the tits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
