    Ah well they are paying me for my knowledge, if the don't take it on board I will just keep plugging away at the free coffee and hot bird on reception!
    Ah don't worry I just demolished the Programme Board and called them all fscking cretins.... I also let slip that they only have enough space in their computer room to take them to the end of the year at best (the IT director had not told them that and it did not go down well) I am not there to make new friends

    People who value your honesty tend to be competent enough anyway and don't mind when you might constructively criticise one part of their work. People who can't take constructive criticism are usually incompetent jerks, precisely because they've never listened to the opinions of others.
