It took me ages to realise that a) hard work is irrelevant b) good work is irrelevant c) helping others is irrelevant and d) arse licking and politics are all important. If you work hard, and are productive, chances are the tw@t who manages you takes all the credit, gets a pay rise, and puts you down.

Course, it's not true of all companies. It was especially true of Piss-on (humorously known by some as Psion) where the directors thought you were lucky to be allowed to work in the presence of such superior beings as them.

True.

Also ...the more laborious the contract the more petite the rate.

p.s. the only drawback is that you are supposed to reduce your working time by making the working day longer with unnecessary and unproductive overtime.

bzzzz... brain..... overflow.... NaN exception.....
