GOTD: just found out we're gonna have a new manager. Problem is, he's a fucking utter cock. Micromanaging fuckwit that will not give you the time of day unless you either are into sports, or are a 21 year old girl with perky tits.

They keep moving him from department to department because no one likes him and he's shit at his job, but they can't/wont sack him for some reason. Now it's our turn.

Fuck.

i hate micromanaging twats. haven't had to deal with for time tho.

i think once people reach a certain time in a company now it is really hard to fire them, no matter how bad they are at their job...
they do things like move them around a lot...

That's exactly what's happening. It's almost impossible to get fired from my company, no matter what level you're at.

Post by **huge** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 10:53 am

have to have a really good reason to be fired too i guess and if someone has been at a place for like 7+ years it will cost a bucket load to make them redundant. also you can't hire someone to take the redundant position for like a year or something.

My nemesis at work.... mnggghhhhhh..... The sound of his voice makes me want to punch him. Although, it was gratifying to know that he had to sit through a lengthy discussion about how the entire department thinks our masters program is completely usesless and, oh, what's that? That's the highest degree he's got...? Hmm....

See how much you can do to get him fired without yourself getting fired...?

As per

retzie wrote:Zat's why I quit ze boys, innit.

I have given up on boys. However, when I happen to meet a cool dude who suggests we go see some DJs (without knowing I like electronic music and being in America, where club nights does not exist), I will go along. But this is me, so this has gotta be going somewhere shit...

Get there and he's totally dressed up for a date, in the unco-est possible way. Looks like a primary school teacher (as compared to the scruffy dude who runs the bike shop

). While I'm still wondering how he could possibly manage to make himself look so unattractive, he tells the story of his brother's guerilla wedding in a nature reserve, part of which goes a little something like this:

Him: "[...] and I married them."
Retzie: "Wait, you married them?"
Him: "Yeah, I'm a minister. Did I not mention that?"

No. You. Fucking. Didn't. Specifically, not when I was saying really loudly how much I hate religion (during the first just-talking-to-a-random-in-a-cafe conversation).

I don't even...

nic wrote:retzie:

Don't even want to now! For your reference (and thematic tie-in), he wears a little green hat (which, incidentally, makes him look markedly better than his Sunday school attire). Oh well, he is 6'7", so it's prolly a bullet dodged tbh :lol:

I'm in Chicago these days, so yeah, but not really.

A further sweet follow-up text made me man up and tell him I'm not feeling it. (All advice was to just not reply, but I hate the silent treatment and can't bring myself to dish it out to someone else.) Like kicking a puppy and telling it Santa doesn't exist all at once :mean:

lol. i think you should chronicle all of your gripes into a blog, then maybe you will get picked up for a book deal.

CoB · Post by **CoB** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 12:35 pm

yep that's how they make books these days

it is really shit i think... then they take the blog down and do other things
fuck you, i was enjoying your rants for free, now you make me pay for them, and then don't do anymore?

that and any book that isn't like that gets turned into a shit movie

MB is my repository of rants. Much betterer than crapbook or a blog :retzielikes:

When I first moved over here, I used to write long (apparently entertaining) emails to my old housemate, who said similar about a book. But then it turned out she was only emailing me to get said emails. Once I stopped writing them, I never heard from her again :confused1:
