    Ah, the good old days.

    I remember once I snapped after constant goading by my line manager. I had him by the throat up against the wall in the office, screaming in his face I would sort him out outside after work.

    I heard the manager's door closing as he just wanted an easy life. The line manager apologised, nothing more came of it and the bullying stopped. No-one else tried it on with me and it was never mentioned again.

    As a contractor I've had to bite my lip a few times.

      (He didn't want sex, but the trainee didn't know that at the time).

              You sound like an old boss of mine who was bully.

              He made everyone suffer.

              I'd happily see how he fares on the car park today.

                Permies still can intimidate and attack contractors. At least where I am now. The contractor still gets the sack.

                Though these days there are so few contractors it rarely happens.

                    MF loves to insert things in bottoms. Every few weeks he pretends to visit the states while doing rudey things with his gay lover.

                      You told me you were straight because you were married.
