IT can be so cruel

I find it hard to believe people in your place are micro managing segments of 2 hours work and making judgements upon yourself on that.

Good point. I think it is the environment I work in. They do it, so you do it. Praps I just need some sleep/Kronenbourg.

Just get your timesheet signed and stop GAF. Oh, and have that Kronenbourg. You've deserved it!

Actually, I was suggesting you were talking crap.

Actually, he's not. You just have to get past the point where you feel sick every day and get on with it. It takes time, but you have to do it and every day is better.
What did I do? Got fed up with feeling sick and started thinking 'Hey - what is the worst that can happen if I stick to my guns?'. I guess you have to think that you are being paid for your advice and if they didn't want that, well, their mistake then. it doesn't mean you have to get abusive or rude btw - just keep plugging away.

I am on this learning curve right now and it has given me much needed self confidence. I would thank you again Zips, but people may talk.

I am doing this gig to get experience of London Markets

Ooooohhh. You're working in the City in banking / investments / money business. That explains everything.

My nine months in an asset management outfit were so bad only people who have worked in the City actually believe some of the abuse, incredible decision-making, insane management and spectacular incompetence that went on.

SuitYou, you are working with a bunch of inhuman, vicious and complete and utter cnuts. Remember that at all times. It's not you; it's them.

[Jeebo72]

Im in the city right now and it's par for the course. Fight your cause always. Always stand up for what you believe is right and yourself, but always be professional. Then have 3 (min) beers at lunch and sit back and enjoy the afternoon.

[craig_m67]

three beers.. minimum, so true.

There is a very fine line between standing your ground and being too frank. I'm an aussie so they gave me a wider line than normal, but even i was suprised at how lound they barked and how soft they were if you didn't pay homage to their class.
