Suicide doesn't work; you're already a permie.

[DaveB]

You're a permie. Suicide is only permitted with line manager approval, or when it's done on your own time.

I am the line manager, so

Must add a new skill set to my CV - herding cats

My first week in current contract, I'd inherited someone else's workflow escalation code. I'd made some changes to the timer logic, but forgotten to assign it back to the actual timer, so effectively it escalated instantly. Over and over, looking in AD for each person's line manager. Managed to send a misspelt (my predecessor's spelling!) email to about 10 increasingly senior managers before it finally got to head honcho and fell over because it couldn't find his manager.

The permies are all offsite today planning next years stuff. Due to the fact that I'll be out of here in a couple of weeks, I have declined to attend

That's one of my examples that I use in my Workflow training course

(Not the bit about changing the timer, but not checking the number of times to escalate and ending up failing because the top boss has no supervisor)
