Uh oh! I'm in trouble!

[Wilmslow]

I once muttered under my breath to a colleague to be careful about the wench opposite me as she was having some bad PMT. She overheard and ran off crying. Proving my point.

Boss seemed to be on my side!

If everyone went round being honest, life would be quite unpleasant.

As contractors, we are usually far cleverer than the permies - so we have to be extra polite and tactful.

Easier said than done - isn't stress suppressing the desire to throttle someone who desperately needs it?

[Xenophon]

MF, you are a legend.

[sasguru]

Cocked up yet again, eh MF? Why is no one surprised?

[Lucy]

Where is Mordac, MF? I miss him.

[ASB]

Where in your terms does it say you are not allowed to do what you did?

It'll be construed as misconduct. Should have been discussed one to one.

New director has instigated a formal HR disicplinary procedure against me ...

Just keep replying either (1) is it because I'm gay? or (2) is it because I'm black? to any HR questions and it will all go away.

[MarillionFan]

Oh dear, looks like the skids are under him.

In the US he could have just fired me, but my contract is in the UK and HR have told me it's nothing to worry about.

[Bagpuss]

CUK's top feather ruffler is sacked once again, just why don't they get it?

[Mailman]

New boss has come along and burst my bubble!

Oh well, it was only a matter of time. New director has instigated a formal HR disicplinary procedure against me for undermining him in front of another director by being unprofessional('I told him he didnt know what he was talking about') Which would have been fine if I hadnt done it in front of someone else.

He believes I have ruined my credibility. Which in fact isnt true as what I did was undermine his credibility, of which he actually has none as so many other people disagree with him(me included). But as I now work for the guy it means I must tow the line or ship out!

Whats the contracting market like at the moment?

How incredibly naive of you.

It is exactly this kind of manager who floats to the top. Everyone below him can see him for the hole in the backside he is, but all the people see from above his is pretty smiling face.

Its exactly this kind of manager that you have to keep close to yourself because he will drag you up with him!

Oh well, school boy mistake on your part me old mucker!
