    And yes, I have a vacancy...must be at least at the six sigma master level, 20 years management experience with blue chip companies and managed multi-million pound projects. £14ph.

    Expensive at half the price!

    Sometimes, in certain corporate structures, the able move on to better pastures. Those promoted are often ones who couldnt find a better job and simply had most time with the company.

    Is mailman really a manager? He sounds 18yrs old.

    Ah the power I tell you...the power!

    Have to agree if you were any good as a PM you'd have spotted the issue ages ago before it became an issue to a delivery.

    Ah the power ... usually come with a distinct degradation in skills

    Mailman have you thought of this possibility: that this this button-down selfish person might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers?
