Cushy job and where you can bait your colleagues. Nice.

this is what I thought, having worked with twunts like this before they are ripe for having fun with and will never notice you're taking the piss

Having the ability to be persuasive, but firm, not condescending, but to get your point across, to manage a meeting, to allow others to have their say, to placate difficult people, to manage teams, to enfranchise, not disenfranchise, to be concise, to manage stakeholders, to deal with politics & to deliver is an extremely difficult skill to learn.

If you can do all that, then you can call yourself a manager.

yeah but who'd want to be a manager?!?

Most permie departments at big firms just stumble over one crap app over another and we get paid to come in and wipe its arse until EOL. So I must thank all the permies, you have been keeping me well paid for many years at your efforts in writing crap code.

this is why the whole off-shore thing is not a complete disaster, lots of emergency fix work looming...

What have I said?

Thanks for the input.

He's probably a paragon of decisive efficiency, with everything firmly under control, but then you do his head in by saying "Bing!" every few seconds.

Thanks for the input.

I think you'll find that Wilmslow was trying to wind up the OP.

The No tulip sherlock award of the day goes to..........

[NotAllThere]

He sits there 'running' a meeting - no issues cleared, can't make a decision, can't handle the participants, no 'traction', no idea what's going on...

Part way through the meeting he re-read previous points - he hadn't realised we'd discussed them 30 minutes earlier!!!!

I think they have to retrain him when he returns from lunch every day!!!!

After the meeting he actually turns to me and says - I think that went quite well...


USELESS!!!!

I alluded to that.

You work in the IT Department don't you?

Not that I believe your story for a second but interpersonal skills training which goes everywhere in these places is the biggest pile of wank going. You go through school, university, and work your way up to management and then get told your social skills are not adequate for manger to colleague discourse.

We should just get rid of these woolly phrases you are asked to use if you feel you are being 'let down by your colleagues ability and want to let him no your feelings without upsetting him/her or his/her ability in the company structure' and just let them say 'that is ****** bollocks'

[MaryPoppins]

I don't attend if there's no agenda.

Another permie has a meeting with herself as no one else turns up - she distributes the minutes to the invited absentees, she has to take all the actions and because she's ineffectual too - there's actions going back to 2007 uncompleted!!!

She's ginger too.


Bing!

That's really tickled me



I am proper laughing
