Business is business, not working out bail out and get the next gig.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostIt is a little galling to be offered the advice 'sounds like your letting your emotions get in the way (sic)' by someone who regularly threatens co-workers
Threatening co-workers? Nowt wrong with that, do it outside of the working environment and no witnesses.Comment

Listen up, knobmuncher. A bedwetter would, by definition, have posted about it as soon as it started. They would have kept CUK updated throughout the entire boring debacle, and they would have weakly threatened to quit without following through.Originally posted by MarillionFan View Posty

I hear what your saying and to me it sounds like 'Boo hoo hoo, I quit because she said I said he said that she said that I said, oh boo hoo hoo'Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostListen up, knobmuncher.

I hear what you're saying, and it sounds like 'I wish I had balls as big as you, MP. I wish I could stop winking furiously over each fresh new MP post - my wrists hurt'.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI hear what your saying and to me it sounds like 'Boo hoo hoo, I quit because she said I said he said that she said that I said, oh boo hoo hoo'

But you get to go to sleep in the smug knowledge that he's a good-for-nothing **** and you're not.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostI hear what you're saying, and it sounds like 'I wish I had balls as big as you, MP.

True in theory. But if the gig is convenient, pays well and fits in with family commitments, it's sometimes worth compromising to some extent for an easy life. Sounds like Mary's got it sorted.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostBusiness is business, not working out bail out and get the next gig.Comment

I've never quit because of an HR issue. If you cannot rise above it then youre as sad as the person who decided to take you to it. Laugh it off or replace Suityou as the enuretic head of CUK.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostI hear what you're saying, and it sounds like 'I wish I had balls as big as you, MP.

No - you endure the HR crap that comes from permies trying to fit you up. You're the mug, not me.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI've never quit because of an HR issue. If you cannot rise above it then youre as sad as the person who decided to take you to it. Laugh it off or replace Suityou as the enuretic head of CUK.
But - more importantly. Why can't you spell you're properly anymore? This never used to be an issue for you. Did you learn something new recently? I wonder if this has been pushed out of your brain somehow.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
