1. Doing objectives for PDR.

Towards the end of my time as a permie I was given a glossy A4 lever arch file with specially printed section dividers for my Personal Development Plan.
I only ever put one phrase in it viz "Stop gibbering when coding in SAS".

Think yourself lucky wilmslow, where I used to work a number of people were told to come in on a bank holiday....only to be told they were being made redundant and sent home again

I think you are giving Wilmslow's creator ideas for the next twist in the story.

But why moan on contractor board - apart from giving us a good laugh?

Perhaps if we all pushed him at the same time...

Yup, he'd implode!

[BrilloPad]

The mind boggles.

I'm still not convinced he's real. The only thing I am convinced about is that I won't go back to permie land anytime soon. So I am thankful for his reminder of how carp things really are as a resident permie.

Cheers Wilmslow!

<<canned laughter>>

The exploits seem to incredible to be true. If not real - then someone has a very intricate imagination. Hats off to them! Mind you, my son is like that (imagination not Wilmslow) and I think he has asberbgers.

He's kinda the perfect permie really.

All they do is moan. They won't quit their jobs though. Just keep moaning until they are pushed.

You accepted the job just a couple of months ago

Work in a retail HO.

They do not really see the stores as separate to the head office, therein lies the problem.

Holidays are mad - 20 days per year, but they hold 5 back and pay you the 5 days when you leave. Mad. You can only use 5 in first 6 months - any more, and you have to buy the days. You get an extra 6 or so for the bank hols, your choice if you work them or use the holidays on other dates.

This is a firm that needs dragging into the 21st century!

[BA to the Stars]

Damn these firms which force you to take a permie job 50 odd miles away from home.

I take it you are Morrisons or somewhere like that. Never mind, you could always stack shelves.

And you're just the man to do it!

Oh, hang on...

[Wilmslow]

I have never heard of an office job which entailed working on a BH.

Wilmslow are you sure you don't work in McDonalds or B&Q?
