Chap turned up on the second week reeking of booze. When he was caught swigging from half bottle of whisky at about 10 in the morning a couple of days later, he was advised to go home, and not come back.

Originally posted by barrydidit View PostThis one guy I worked with was an utter twunt. Wasn't a contractor at the time though he is now. He was a test manager too co-incidentally. I smile to think about him though because he was a big fat mess and this was his downfall. We worked on the 7th floor and the canteen was in the basement. One day he arrived and announced he was going to cash in his shares, but was off for a bacon sarnie first because the share scheme girls were useless and he'd be hanging on the phone for ages. About 40 minutes later he returns with a face like beetroot after having to walk back cos the lifts had broken. When he gets through he finds the share price has plummeted in the first hour of trading (this was bank shares in 2007) and he's now left with the coldest and most expensive bacon buttie in history.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

Funny you should mention her. I got a facebook request off of her just this week. And, more to the point,I hear one of her partners in crime is now PM-ing in another part of the business. Like I say, it's inevitable.Comment
