Coping with bullying in a contract (long post).

[EternalOptimist]

I once had a snotter, ball-bag, oafish scum sucker, ask me 'what I was doing there' in a very bullyish way.
I told him that I started out driving a taxi, with two or three passengers, but I wanted more, so I became a mini bus driver with six passengers. Then I was offered a massive upgrade to become a coach driver with 60 passengers, but I turned it down and came here instead.

This is you, isn't it.

Just a quick update and thanks for all the posts. First day back in the office after a week of travel and one of them is actually playing ball. Speaking to me like nothing was wrong and all about work and it was actually ok. If he hates me it is fine but at least we can be amicable.

The other one has now moved desks thank god so I do not even need to be near her at all.

Not All There – That will soon be me. Unfortunately my relationship has taken a bit of a hammering due to how down I have been. It is picking up though.

PS One of them has completely gone. Not sure the details but he is never to return. Shame, as he was a nice chap, but not very useful.

I've not been following all the details, and one can only guess anyway. But it sounds like part of the problem may have been you getting too pally with this "not very useful" guy, and by association being tarred with the same brush ("birds of a feather" and all that).

I don't believe this thread, why?


1/ The same old Attention seeking dilema thread template
2/ The poster is called "Alterego"
3/ Implied contractors deserve IR35 in previous posts


Just waiting for a charity event announcement, or revelation of some terrible illness

Cynical Toi?

Well I suppose we've had a deluge of Suity's ramblings, one would be inclined to think in the same way about other similar posts from other members.
