As the week went on the amount of bling he was wearing would get less and less, then when we got paid on a Friday it would all be fully restored after a quick trip to get it all back from the pawn shop. Sad to hear that Mr T has fallen on hard times. I've definitely posted this before, but it's one of the funniest things on the internet .... https://drunkard.com/07-03-juicing-on-the-job/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its became a meme how much these phrases get said. Noone cares about your old job, we dont need to hear "at my old work we did this" twice a day every day. Shut up Aye, we had a lassie like that - she came highly regarded from her last place, where she'd been for a long time. It quickly became apparent though that she was actually fairly dim and had only ended up doing well in her last role because she'd been there forever - there are some people that are only capable of learning one job well per lifetime. She spent her whole time trying to dig in and recreate her previous job in her new one despite the fact that the two had nothing in common..."In my old job, we used to do it this way..." was her mantra. Did they, aye? She didn't last long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking this is some shameful shit? Toast is an unacceptable passenger snack IMO. Shouldn't be anything that's likely to cause a mess or smell. I'd suggest brewing up a rancid fart to cover the smell of peanut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you didn't actually tell him you were packing it in and just didn't turn up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 There's a woman n our office who recently learned the terms "inter" and "intra". Unfortunately, she didn't bother to learn that there is a difference in meaning, and regularly invites the whole company to department meetings and vice versa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but leaving speeches...what is the point? Whenever I've left a job I've just said "bye now" and walked out the door. If you want to have a proper farewell with the few people in the office you get on with or consider friends, go out for drinks afterwards. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The person is leaving because they don't want to be there.

Leaving emails even piss me off, some fucking 3 paragraph spiel about all the 'friends you've made' and the 'opportunities you've had'. It's all complete Just fucking leave, the company will survive without you and you'll be forgotten about in a month or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The reason for my mild rant is that my colleague and I have a fairly important meeting with a client tomorrow about the next stage of the project we're currently doing for her. This has been postponed by half an hour so she can attend her boss' leaving speech. Priorities sorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d arrive outside (at the agreed time), phone him and tell him I was outside. 15 minutes later he’d rock up breakfast muffin in hand. This happened everyday for 2 weeks. Eventually told him I’d give him 2 minutes after the agreed time and if he wasn’t there I was leaving and he could explain to his boss why he wasn’t able to get into work. I had some irrational rage during that period. A mate of mine had a lemonade run - you could have set your watch by him, 8.00 am on the dot the bottles were delivered every Wednesday. He had arranged for a new start/inspector/some one to meet him at a prearranged spot at a certain time. Come the day and the hour Davie was at the meeting place, rang your man, "I'll be there in 15 minutes" he was told, "Well I won't" said Davie, and off he went. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
