New - The things that really annoy you

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Managers who scold employees by name in front of literally the entire team.

What did you do...?

Irrelevant.

What did you do...?

Wasn’t me, I probably would have deserved it.

I've been training people at work for the last 8 weeks and am back "online" next week.

My job involves a fair majority of telephony, which we have a four week rota for. I'd booked a fair bit of leave the last few months or so and for the most part scheduled the majority of it on telephony weeks.

In the last week that I've been training they've shifted the rota for me (and me only) so now the majority of my leave now falls on days where I would have been doing non telephony tasks, but now fall on telephony weeks instead.

Home insurance going up nearly 40% despite never ever making a claim.

Then can you cancel it online?

No! The renewal page loads just fine but the cancellation page just refuses to load and crashes.

C***s!

I switched mine off (esure), then the renewal notification came through and it was only about a fiver more than last year, pretty near to the cheapest on Go compare, so opposite to you l had to call them to get it switched back on.

Wouldn’t have happened when my working life was in its prime, Shop Steward would have been saying, ‘push the buttons’, (turn the machines off).
Fucking Unions!

Pisser!
I book most annual leave for days I'm supposed to be in the office. Boss is cool about it & am sure some others do similar.
Spoke with someone in another team t'other day who does similar & their boss is telling them they've got to do alternative days in the office.

Rightly so. No need to call out people in front of others. Fucking cowardly.

Cunts trick that.

Cunts trick that.

I’m a professional hipster in that I clocked it way before the rest of my team did.

Very difficult to do good work for someone like that.

 

[Alan]

And now they’ve kicked him off the project! It’s insane. He’s an incredible engineer.

Just one more month and I’m free. God, or your personal equivalent, give me some patience for this toxic rabble…

Got a new job lined up?

 

[Alan]

Got a new job lined up?

Tentatively. But I’m done with these people on July 7th regardless.
