        Recently changed team leaders and the new one has the man management skills of a gibbon on crystal meth.

        Have been having a running battle with him for a few months, this week been off with a badly sprained ankle, and because I didn't ring in the day I went to the A&E, have been served 4wks notice.

        Anybody had a similar incident? Any advice?
        The "TEAM LEADER" sees you as a threat, cos he's seen you are more capable than he is, even for e.g. limping in to work, there are assoles like this everywhere, consider approaching (limping past) his boss, explain the situation the oppo has put you in and show him that despite debilitating injury, you are still doing your job...or accept it's down to the run of things in this dog eat dog society we find ourselves in...this sort of thing makes me, well you know, I sympathise, best of luck ....soz blaah blah, but don't lose your poise, keep cool man. woh yeh

          Collect some business cards for local massage parlous and slip them into his jacket pocket when he is not looking.

              Ding, Ding, a winner, well that and getting the CV out asap. If you get to leave before the month, even better for you.

                But I think you should reconsider your approach above. "He" like it or not, is the customer, the expression "The customer is always right" has hung around for a reason.

                BTW, been there done that, and was glad to get away.

                    The permie guy obviously extremely dislikes adamv6 so is never going to hire him again.

                      There is an irony to all this actually.

                      He stated 'If we can have you back like you were a few months ago, I would welcome you with open arms'.

                      So basically, not questioning anything he did.

                      I should have just let him get on with it really shouldn't I
