But it does make your brain hurt...

Yup as well

But sometimes it's also fastest way up...assuming we don't fall flat on our faces

Risk/reward scale again?

[Xenophon]

You rang?

Nice shades. Standard issue for megastars such as yourself?

Agreed - the only way I ever learn anything new is to get dropped in at the deep end - it's amazing what you can learn in this way.

Yup.

There he is, ladies and gentlemen. The legendary Giant Alien Lizard himself, zeitghost!

Phew that's a relief. What else would I do all day?

Attend appraisals, get caught up in paperwork and politics and curse yourself for going permie.

'course not. There are a few 'famous' permies here.

You will have to ask the Gods, looks like they are running the place!

Oh, hi MF and ZG.

During my permi days we had quarterly appraisals.
How many times can you tell what would like to achieve/your goals/objectives etc while you know that right answer is I ONLY CARE FOR MONEY.

By the books and do the training yourself + BS on the CV if your a quick learner.

Appraisals and associated corporate bollox are the work of Satan. I'd have to be starving before I'd put up with that cr@p again - money doesn't come in to it.

hear hear.

[TheRightStuff]

Me too and I completely agree.

In terms of couses. They are the biggest bore. I've been on 5 day courses and would come back look through a dummies whatever book and find I had done about 9 chapters of the book.

Anyway who wants to go through appraisals again and stay late and suck up months before bonus day. Not for me anymore.
