Secret work enemies

to me, the thought of eating someones homemade work sandwich from a fridge, is hell on earth

Yeah, but from where I'm sat, it sounds like hilarity condensed. lol

This is gonna be a snide update thread from the staff toilets isn’t it.

I'm hoping for some sort of work placed, turn-based adventure were the good people of GOT can vote and decide on how best to, as you say, F HIM RAR UP.

Sounds like Jimmy will be in the bogs most of the day updating this thread.

Don't want to be in the same vicinity, ideally.

One of the worst decisions I made was to move into a Project Manager role. Having done it for 2 years I realised it wasn't for me. Interviewed internally to go back into an Engineering role which I have over 10 years experience in and they didn't give me the job. Very political decision as they don't want to risk losing resource in the PM team so now I'm stuck doing something I'm just not enjoying.

2 years in a PM role is a very good base for a lot of different stuff in the future mind TPBD. Sometimes it’s good to stick these things out for your CV

I agree. It definitely can be useful experience elsewhere and can lead to good things. I appreciate the advice.

i) the master of the time sheets, he/she officious nightmare, always on your back when they want something, rare as rocking horse dung* when it's time to get you square.

Is this the sort that works all sorts of overtime but is never actually in the office? Have worked with one or two like this.

COVID was the best thing that ever happened to those people. Before it, when no one use Teams/Zoom, they could only organise a few meetings per day in the flesh. Now their entire calendar is booked out.

these are the checklist punchers, can't do any actual work themselves but they know who hasn't filled in their workplace bingo on time

 

[SerenityNigh]

It's fantastic.

We used to play corporate bullshit bingo when I worked at GE and we had sales meetings.

we had an actual bingo card printed for regular calls on one job, although the [woman] who printed them printed herself a winning card (we gave out coffee shop gift cards to the winner). it helped ease the pain of the regular calls although I didn't enjoy working with her.

Not my own but from one of lads quite a few years back .He worked in a supermarket the security guard was an 100% crab always up the bosses arse even to the level of carrying his stuff for him he would pick on kids but a fella came in kicking off he would leg it you know the type Me mate hated him but had to put up with him .Anyway he got his number and put it in the Blackburn version of the Liverpool echo in the selling section 100s of Bollywood DVDS for sale 50p each first come first serve . His phone was going crazy with calls to the point he pleading with them to stop calling him.So be nice to people in work or if not blank them if you can or you could be getting calls from bollywoods biggest fans

That made me laugh out loud
