Plan B for everybody

[suityou01]

Get a gig (if you can, I know it's tough)

Then invoke your substitution clause and put in Bob Shawadiwadi, making a huge margin on his much cheaper rate.

Keep doing this.

Genie arse no?

[mace]

Yeh but you got to filter out the Bob Shawadiwadi's from the Chetty Chutneys.
There's a caste system as well. Don't get your datawallah mixed up with your serverwallah.

You sound like you know what you're talking about. You can be my HR director.

Why would you use someone who knows what they're talking about as an HR Director? Nobody else does.

I've always hated those interviews where you turn up and they send down someone from HR to "meet & greet"... who then takes you to a room where they leave you while they try to find the people who are actually going to interview you

I think Thomson (the travel mob) was the last place I had to endure that, six or seven years ago. Thankfully, I didn't get the gig.

I hate places that have a rigid corporate structure whereby even a couple of minutes taking somebody from reception to a meeting room has to be allocated to a "resource" from the appropriate department, and a handover carried out, and then when you're leaving the appropriate type of "resource" has to be chivvied from its lair to see you safely off the premises

It always makes me think of Charlie Chaplin caught in those huge cogs in Modern Times

Reminds me of defence places I have started work at before my security clearance came through. You have to ring in from reception and hang around until someone can come out and escort you to your desk. After which nobody gives a damn and you are free to wander round wherever you feel like.
