Was he told and given the opportunity to address the issues raised? Probably not, since he got the job. He seems to have been on a hiding to nothing, going into a hostile environment, based on hearsay and unsubstantiated grudges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not judging here but I must admit I've never been like this so we're not on the same page at all. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to cure cancer and I never believed I was doing anything vital but I did always enjoy the nature of the work and keeping busy. If a job was rubbish or stressful, I found ways of retraining and moving on rapidly to do more enjoyable things but my worst nightmare would be to spend 50 years sitting around counting the minutes till home time. How do you find meaning in your life when you spend 8-11 hours every day (including lunchtimes and commuting) not fully engaging in what you do? ^^^ Abso-fúcking-lutely judging here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, some of our staff had worked with him before in various capacities. For myself, I hadn't come across him until this and was very open minded. Then he started being a bellend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 He has not. This morning’s meeting was to tell us that the senior boss will be supervising our team while middle management cunto takes a leave of absence on medical grounds. Turns out he fucked off early yesterday to get a sick line for stress…Knew he was going to get found out for being a lazy c**t and went for the one defence that can't be questioned imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great you were able to do that, not everyone can. Someone, somewhere needs to do a job they don't like out of necessity, it doesn't make them stupid or wasteful of their life. Oaksoft's been banging on with this "look at all the thicko paupers who do thicko things" stuff for years. He's had the concepts of money, bills, and the reality of living on low wages explained to him on multiple occasions but he refuses to acknowledge it, so it's time to assume it's all part of the raging Tory Boy image. He's just better than you; deal with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly liked his "how do you find any meaning in life if you're just counting the time down until home time?" as if people can only find meaning in their life through work. I found meaning in my life through the relationships I have with others, music, football and golf. Work doesn't even enter that conversation, it's something I do that lets me enjoy the things I like doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, he claimed to be retiring to somewhere remote because he hates other people, yet now seems to be spending his retirement broadcasting to those people about everything that makes them inferior to him. If any of that is true, I don't think "meaning" and "enjoyment" are very high up on his list of priorities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Honest Saints Fan Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 I handed my notice in yesterday. My department at work restructured last year and centralised the department I work in making several redundancies. It went from 3 people in my department in my office to only me working part time 3 days a week. Over the last year the work has become more stressful, we do not have enough staff to service our clients and I've just started hating it more and more as the weeks pass. I've been working more hours than contracted to, not taking lunch hour and putting my laptop on on my days off. The higher management have taken no accountability for fucking up what was a great department under the company they bought over. So yesterday I resigned. My branch staff are trying to persuade me it will get better. That senior management are having a meeting at the end of the month as no one is happy with my department and what they have done to it but they can't guarantee anything will change so I'm leaving. It's a job I did love and the only thing drawing me to staying is all the benefits. Private health care, income protection, fantastic pension etc. but I've decided that with my health this shouldn't be a motivator for me. I've accepted a new role working within cancer services and start in the New Year. 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
