Had a Dilbert week!

[Troll]

Just done it again. Asked someone a simple question about training courses, and got accused of putting undue pressure on her. Maybe it's me. Or maybe people are too sensitive.

I've seen & had similar scenarios with permies, easily upset by bad contractor man- the offices seem to be run as clubs, you're either in or your out.
Looking back there are a few occasions when I wish I'd thumped permies for being such a prima donnas but eventually you learn to rise above it, think of how much more you make than them & just get on with the job in hand.

Being a permie yourself it must be more frustrating not being able to do an inward sneer

Perhaps it's not what you say, it's the way you say it!

Did you have her bent over a desk with your hands around her throat at the time?

Well sometimes people hear what they want to hear. I have looked at what some people have done afterwards and really questioned if we were in the same meeting.

I've just started a permie job at the place where I was contracting for 6 months. I make a point never to burn bridges, you never know when you might need to revisit old haunts.

The worrying thing is I don't remember saying what it was I was supposed to have said, and it doesn't sound like the sort of thing I would say anyway. But I trust the person who took offence 100%, so I must have said it.

Are you near the end of your contract ?
The urge to burn bridges can get too strong sometimes.
Wife: you're on your own with that one.

incompetence
Not to mention irony

Was it a good thread?

What was it about?

It made a reference to a member of the site and a potential liaison with a well known super model. Someone even replied to it, but then next time I looked - gone.

I can't believe it was that offensive. But Hey Ho. Life goes on...

[Diver]

I'm not going to post anything meaningful in here in case I offend. I've already had one thread removed today.

Don't know if I've had any threads removed on this site yet, can't be bothered to check.

My motto - Never look back

Ps. probably explains the rear end damage to my car

I seem to be doing it a lot lately. I've offended someone at work recently. And the wife as well.

Nah! can't believe that Moose!

You are more of an irritent than an offence

just kidding

Dilbert: I’ve just been to a good meeting.

Catbert: Maybe the meeting didn’t last long enough for the incompetents of the attendees to become apparent.

Dilbert: That’s what I call a good meeting.

Catbert: I’m having a bad meeting.
