Well I was planning to go last night. All I has to do at 5pm was fire someone in the US via video phone. HR were sat outside ready. Should have taken 10 minutes. Fricking firee didn't turn up to his own displinary and I had to spend the next two hours chasing the little git up via phone before I get complete the firing. He was being fired for poor attendance. Go figure.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostSo is it too early to book our Christmas party?What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
