Hhhmmmm........Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostThere has been a spate of incidents where honest hard working contractors have been seduced into taking Permanent positons by slipping a drug into their drinks. The "Rate Rape" drug, as its come to be known, is a particularly powerful narcotic, with extreme halucinagenic properties, instilling a feeling of total sensory shutdown in the face of impending poverty. The concoction - real name "Permicillin" is usually administered by a Senior Permie Manager in a cup of tea / coffee. - Beware of any drinks offered by permies. It may be a trap!!!
The drug is tasteless and odourless, and the unsuspecting jobber may only be aware of it several hours after the first ingestion. Short term symptoms to look out for are : immediate loss of appetite for Steak / Lobster / Champagne, the need to do no more than an 8 hr day and the almost overwhelming needto do the current contract for half of the going rate "Just for the love of the Company". Long term symptoms to look out for are the selling of all luxury toys - motorbikes / sportscars / private jets / yachts etc, downsizing of loans / mortgages etc, becoming known as a "team player", always having "something on", whenever there is a rush job needing to be done and becoming an expert at having meetings to decide what meetings are required.
This is an extremely vicious crime and we must all be vigilant to stamp it out. The only known cure is to immediateley down 3 bottles of Moet, then take a ride in a Ferrari and put in two 18 hr days, back to back, followed by a jobbers shopping weekend in New York, flying out Friday night, returning Monday 4.30a.m. then in to work for 5.00a.m of the same morning.
This may explain me.
My boss has taken me for a few coffees.
Mind you, I have faid for the fecking things as he keeps running out of money on his meal card!
Looking forward to 7:30 to 3:30 though
