Sone people are naturally better than others but a lot of it can be learnt too. Hoying people in at the deep end is mental really. When you think about the impact on staff productivity (good and bad) that a manager can have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21603 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Aye, needs proper disposal due to release of the refrigerant completely fucking the biosphere. I was trying to crowbar some joke about "dripping like a broken fridge" here without success. Even resorted to Google for inspiration and somehow came across this filth from @PaddockLad. Disgusting, difficult to tell who's worse, him or his mate MF. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competent people that have been in an organisation long enough to manage to climb the ladder until they plateau in a position where they're completely incompetent but almost impossible to sack. So if it's any reassurance at all, it's not just been bad luck that you've seen it everywhere you've work. Seems to be pretty common in almost every workplace. For my money, the hiring process that enables this is a similar phenomenon to when I'm walking home from the pub but instead of taking the most trouble-free route home I often inexplicably end up taking a much longer walk that coincidentally features a few other pubs and other very real dangers like the threat of divorce. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Busy morning at CT towers making mugs.

wykikitoon 20129 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Bin dipper was saying he can't understand why he's got a headache as he hasn't had that much to drink last night. Turns out he had two bottles of wine and a G&T Yet he doesn't think that's much. Oh and that's by himself! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21603 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Feckin Halloween and trick or treaters. Doing some work but have to get up every 5 minutes to give some snotty nosed kids some sweets, earned and paid for by my hard work. Ahem. Anyway, successfully made a little girl cry by leaping out of the door howling. Fecking parents should teach their brats to be more brave, no? Very trmpted to go to the pub tbh. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44843 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Did you get that for when you dropped your stool sample in the street? I've just hoyed a load of small bags of Haribo in a bowl and left it outside. The little cunts must have been grabbing handfuls cos I bought 100 minibags, 1.6kg, and they've nearly all gone in an hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44843 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 That's them all gone. The bowl is back inside. I'm gonna change the sign to "None left. Take if up with your greedy cunt mates" and put it back out there empty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21603 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 I've got a box of 50 haribo and probably another 50 assorted sweets. Nice kids around here and only one piss taker took more than one bag. "Hoy, cuntface, I'd put that back if I were you you little piece of shit or I'll give you rabies you doss cunt". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
