Permies about to be destroyed

This sounds interesting, you could imagine the situation now.

I've offered him out and he's bottled it

Do you want to go toe to toe on Skype?

I doubt that would change my opinion of you. In fact, "Toe to Toe" on "Skype"? Make it Battlefield 2 and you're on!

OMG I just wasted 45 secs reading this thread.

Oh well, Jeremy Kyle was rubbish today

You use "OMG" and watch JK.

Suspicious character.

BTW what are you in the project, I assume just a code monkey?

I think everyone else in this project must be pissing themselves with laughter, no matter how slack they are some eejit will keep bailing them out

Yes he's told us he's a developer in the past.

What is a code monkey? Is it one who gets told what to do and writes code?

That's not me

He is a code monkey with commoditised skills. At his age too. Hence the stress. Soon to be bobbed.

Sadly he didn't have what it takes to move to more lucrative sectors

Reading AussieLong's original post it looks like the classic case of two loafers in the bank trying to take some credit from the people who did all the hard work and then (at the last minute) trying to gain some sort of plausibility for associating themselves with the potential success of the project by throwing random work at the people who actually grafted on the project (thus inadvertently delaying the project).

Don't think it only happens to you, one mate of mine did a solo project which had a degree of success at an investment bank, then his boss lied and claimed he wrote the majority of the code himself and sacked my contractor mate when he started to grumble about this, the boss or his toadies couldn't maintain the project as they had not written any of the code and the project was subsequently scrapped.

Life in banking eh ?

Wrong. I work on niche trading systems, very lucrative.

You in the library again? Have you got a disability pass?
