Smokers Nepotism

[Paddy]

I have discovered that there is no future in my current project because I am not a smoker. The important work is discussed among the smokers at their fag breaks, and not at the meetings. I have even resorted to having virtual fag breaks to join in the discussions but the whole of the cigarette nepotism has got out of hand. Every permie manager is now a smoker. I have worked in other places with various cliques. One was a TA clique, another a football club clique, one IT department employed on Sri Lankan tamales and another Australians.

You should take up smoking. I smoke, and it makes me look cool.

Yup - all the real deals and strategy get discussed over a fag break - you must be so outside the loop

I once got a role because I smoked! I wouldn't get it now as I stopped 3 years ago.

The doctor told me to quit, I was/am getting chest pains.

I'd imagine shrouding yourself in smoke can only be a good thing. I have heard that when you enter a room, all heads turn. Along with most of the stomachs!

Laughing at your own jokes again eh? it must be great to have your wit.

Don't feel too hard done by. You have half of it!

Let the smokers carry on killing themselves. More work for the rest of us then...
