    Shag the entire office IMO sounds the best idea. Or go nuclear like I did and escalate to the CEO.

    A bold and very entitled move. But if I was placing bets I’m going to say you’ll come up smelling of roses and about two levels higher in the company.

    I didn't really escalate to the CEO. In my situation, I hope I can just move into a role where my boss isn't this much of an arse and be able to do what I'm paid to do. Banking corporate titles are very flat so if I went two levels up I'd be a managing director (which is pretty much the highest other than the board).

    I've just been lectured to by 50 year Vietnamese tax auditor about how it's super important that foreigners do the right thing in Vietnam, pay the right thing, stay on top of the law and behave respectfully and responsibly in this glorious country.

    Which is all well and good if I hadn't just handed over a couple of grand "lunch money" to him.

    I've just had the MD legitimately moaning at me and another guy that we're putting too many orders through, and it's not leaving any warehouse capacity for others.

    Just sat there and shrugged. You employ me to work in sales, mate. Too many orders. Black is white, up is down, the Arab speaks fluent English and never makes anything needlessly dramatic. Not sure where to go from here.

    I was in an hour long Teams thing earlier where two people were explaining their roles and future marketing plans (more for the benefit of two totally new starters, but I'm new to the role so I think they thought fuck it Igor can come along too).

    It wasn't an interactive thing though , just listening to the two people talk. I dunno if it's bad Teams etiquette, but I almost instantly turned my camera off. I couldn't think of anything worse than having to look attentive for an hour straight, smiling and nodding at appropriate times. Wow that's a really interesting story, nice one.

    Listen, I know your experience of live video chats is probably quite different to mine, but an excruciating hour of the marketing strategies for different supporter segments is something even I can't wank to.

    At the weekend I was eating with a few people, one of whose steaks was taking ages to arrive. For some reason I delivered the gag 'The chef's still waiting for the cow to finish sucking him off' and as the words left my lips, I swear to you that igor's avatar appeared to me on the restaurant wall, like that thing in Belshazzar's Feast. No one laughed, two people said: 'Erm, are you feeling ok?' and I was forced to admit that I probably wasn't.

    So, yeah, phwoar.

    On the ropes, lad.

    First day back at work for a fortnight and it looks like the new faces have had no impact. We'll probably have overtime on at the weekend. Also I remembered all my passwords. Working late in the office on Thursday, though. I'd be mad about that but it does get me out of babysitting.

    He is now. He left his personal laptop at work in case the Iranians confiscated it. I thought he must have been going because his bird was there or something, but no, he just fancied it. Peculiar fella.

    I make notes for myself for most meetings I attend, with the thought that only I’ll ever see them.

    Turns out Office 365 has been recognising the title matches the name of the meeting and sending my notes to all other attendees, cos they’re saved on a “share point.”

    Fucking hell, hopefully nothing bad comes of it. Hopefully Sam from Bolton isn’t offended by my “Sam (female, I think)” note from last week.

    I hope that's the worst of it. I'd be on a deleting spree. Have they all been able to see your notes since the get go?

    Sorted at last. My boss was decent about it as I knew she would be.

    Someone else resigned the other week before I could so the timing overall is spectacularly awful but can’t be helped.

    Presumably since we changed over to Sharepoint on 1st January.

    It's not that they can see them (I always used the public drive) its the fact that Outlook or whatever is actively sending them to everyone else from the meeting.

    This afternoon we were whisked to the local posh golf club for the old man's 'Retirement Do', i.e. just sold the company for 12 million quid celebration party. It was one of those things where pretty much every sentence in the speeches could be being said about a dead man, even though he was standing right there.

    The MD started, thanking everyone for being there and eulogising about the old man's achievements over his 60 year career. As a joke he mentioned when he had first joined the company and the old man had ticked him off for going to the pub at lunchtime. People laughed, and then someone (probably warehouse) shouted from the back: "Sounds like you've had a few too many today, mate!" It didn't really work, as the MD didn't sound drunk at all, not to mention the minor faux pas of shouting such a line at the company's managing director in front of the whole company on what was meant to be a jovial/sentimental occasion. I suppose if you're going to go out, go out with a bang.

    Anyway, after the speeches and the giving of the traditional crap retirement gift of a glass box with an engine drawn on it, it was time for the 'mingling' bit. I absolutely cannot stand mingling - I'm good to give speeches to 100+ people, but small talk with two people gives me anxiety shivers. We had been given express instructions to each go up to the old man at some point and thank him personally. Eventually I found my window to do this, and approached him to shake his hand and say thanks for the opportunity.

    "How long have you been with the company?" he asked.

    "Just over four years," I said.

    "Oh," he said. "I was there for twenty-nine years."

    And with that, he turned away and disappeared into history.
