Is it the done thing.....

[cojak]

No, which is probably just as well 'cos there'd be at least 2 blokes wandering around here knocked-kneed with tears in their eyes if I was...

Is a boot in the fadge an option?

If that doesn't work then a roll of carpet, a shovel and a couple of kilo's of lime should do the trick.

Aside from having a fanny and a PRINCE2 certificate, what has she actually done wrong?

Overridden her Mute circuitry?

[Clippy]

Is she fit?

But then you'd probably do a good job as a PM and a kick in the fadge would not be required.

Is she fit?

She thinks she is. But I wouldn't touch her with yours.

[SupremeSpod]

to boot your project manager in the fadge?

She is a serious pain in the ass. Even her introduction made me cringe..

"Hi, my name's <stoopid bitch>, and I have a prince II certificate, and that's me really"

Is a boot in the fadge an option?

Sounds like she's nervous and perhaps a little too self-deprecating.

There are (at least)a couple of ways forward. You can be helpful and probably have praise in the form of extensions heaped upon you or become an obstacle and expect to be removed.

Kicking her in the "fadge" <--- how quaint; is not an option unless you're a soft twat who gets off on hitting girls.

Hth.

Spod - In "just received another extension" mode.

Where do I start...

She talks to people like dirt and yet gets uppity when people don't respond to her nicely.

She sets a dealine for a task, you tell her it's probably not achievable, but she sticks with it regardless and from that point on emails you every 30 seconds asking "is it's done yet".

She contradicts herself in every email she sends out, can literally change her orders 3 times in the space of 10 minutes but is totally oblivious to the fact.

She's implied on more than one occasion that my work from home days are "days off" and I should think myself lucky.

She even admitted that her motto was "20% Ability, 80% Confidence".

It makes no difference that she has a fadge, I'd be complaining as much about a bloke PM if he was as bad.

This doesn't sound good, is she a permie or a contractor? Assuming she's young inexperienced it doesn't sound like she's done proj mgt before? Are you working in a crap place that tolerates this behaviour? I've worked in a few and it's not good.

If it is a 'good' company/org., can you have a dialogue with her superiors or will it back fire? These things need to be dealt with in one way or another.
