No-life people

I ask one of the managers at one of my gigs why he always was the last to leave and he confirmed it wasn't that he had a lot of work to do, it was that he was just crap at his job and need to extra hours to get by.

At the end of the day he was a very likable guy and he still got the job done on time.

before bonuses got paid the floor was full of permies when I got in at 8:45 and left around 5.30-6. Now permies are coming in at 9.15 and leaving at 5:30-6. So many brown noses. Don't think i could go back to working that way.

Conversely to the orginal point, what make people who come in early feel so smug? Is the quality of work performed before 8:30 so much better than than done afterward?

I often wonder about these people. I have so much stuff and interests to do outside the office.

It reminds me of the film the Sixth Sense: you walk amongst them but are not one of them.

Wait a minute, that film is about nobody else being able to see you. Something like that :-)


Anyway, I'm always happy if on the site where I'm working there's a like-minded contractor or two (I don't mean one of those permie-contractor mutants, a real one)

It's like having a secret masonic handshake - maybe cuk needs one of those?

It's because they clocked in a stupid o'clock and there clock is running and had five cups of coffee and done feck all.

Great if they are paid by the hour, otherwise they are dumb ass tulipes.
