- I have to check with my manager.

- sorry, can you repeat?
- I will ask about that

Permies - some are not even worth the peanuts they get.

You are one of them, until you're not.

Is this public sector? Nearly all the permies I ever work with seem pretty competent. I can never find anything to complain about with agents either and it isn't as if I'm exactly placid and tolerant, so where am I going wrong? I feel very upset about being left out of the gripes on this board. Is there some reverse of anger management where I can go and learn to be annoyed at people for no obvious reason?

"have you spoken to Fred/Doris/the postman?" Particularly when it was Fred/Doris/the postman who gave me the deliverable in the first place...
