What a chunt!
The one that got me was when I got a call from school saying by daughter was ill and could I come and collect her. I let my colleague know what was going on and he of course said fine, sort you daughter out. Then school called and said they'd called an ambulance for her so that was it, I was out the door rapido.
Anyway, as it happens all the happened was she'd been watching her best friend (who's diabetic) inject herself and she passed out on seeing it. School overreaction but I didn't know that.
Next day boss man comes in (I was based in Leeds, him Glasgow, came to Leeds every so often) calls me into an office.
"Why did you leave site without my permission?"
"Eh?"
"You left site without my permission, what if we'd had a Sev. 1?" (I was on project work anyway, shows what a good manager he was)
"My daughter was ill, taken away in an ambulance"
"I'm not interested in your excuses"
Mental switch flicks in my head - I'm leaving.....
"You've not got kids have you, John?"
"That's nothing to do with it"
One month later I was away, contracting again after a one year permie-experiment, never again....
Wasn't just me, we were only a team of four, one of the Windows lads called him a '****' as loudly as possible in office in front of everyone, then they became bessie mates!
Then we starting a bollocking league, 1 point for phone, email or messenger bollocking, 3 for being taken into a corner for a 'quiet word' and the full 6 points for being ushered into a room for a full-on bollocking.
