I think the official flowchart reads something like P.W. Botha > Piet Morant > Oscar Pistorius's lawyer > Shaun Bartlett > the Managing Director.

Yeah, I'd be taking a couple of unfortunately timed sick days on Friday + Monday for that one
Did the Arab still have covid when you travelled?
Claim you caught off him and have a nice week off.
Wait you're not even getting TOIL? I'm sorry Jim, god love ya, but if you aren't out of that job or at least getting significantly more money/less bullshit in a year or so you go from being a bit of a martyr to just a fucking div. Xx
There are plenty of comically poorly ran outfits that aren't so fucking tinpot when it comes to renumeration.
He's just waiting for the Boomers to die. But Boomers don't die. Boomers. Never. Die.Originally Posted by igor_balis
The boss is 72 and told me his contract's up in March. The South America guy is 79 and has, literally, just moved into a retirement home. One of the fuckers has got to die.
I could go and be a crappy account manager in some other industry I guess but it's such a ballache, and the easiest route to the next rung is here.
Ignore these fools, Jim. Stick with it and keep providing the content.
Won't some 69 year old take their place once they die?
Nice.
They'll hand the reins over to his 58 year old son.
I now manage our SHO rota in conjunction with one of the consultants.
We've just been informed (less than 24 hours before they were due to start) that one of our full time GP trainees isn't coming.
These are rotational posts, so it's not like we can just employ someone else. We are just a full-time employee down for the next four months.
At least there'll be plenty of locums going for me to save up for a new car, I guess.

Just been offered a blow job for Ł30 by a pensioner.
I need a new job.
(Not because I said yes and got fired)
You said yes and didn't get fired? Nice.
Was he handsome?
I am sure she was a cracker in her day.
I think she was mostly just offering to indicate how much she is struggling financially, but most people just say they're living of noodles and beans on toast. It's nice to see some creative flair I guess.
Should have took her up on the gummer.
I must have received the following a good 30 times over the course of the last year.
"Unfortunately, we will not be offering the role to you on this occasion. It was very clear that you had a great range of creative and technical skills and abilities, but we had a number of very strong applications and there was another candidate that more closely aligned with the skills and experience sought for the role and the wider aims of Company XYZ."
I'm never going to have a job ever again.
One of my team has decided to not log in yesterday and today. I called him asking "is he ok?" and he said "yeah all good actually... " While sounding like he's been taken hostage. Hopefully he's just taking the piss and it's a disciplinary thing rather than some weird abduction.
What kind of work are you applying for?
That's a very long-winded way of saying "no forrins".
Been at my place coming up to 8 years now. Youngest kid is now old enough that the Mrs has been able to train up and has been offered and accepted her first job since before our oldest was born(now approaching 11 years old).
Her working at a school that isn't our kids, means I need to be dropping down to part time hours. My place is a bit funny in that you must adhere to one of the shift patterns they provide, but there are limits to numbers on the more 'niche' shifts. So my letter of change of shift request has gone in and I've been given the quick "are you sure there isn't another one of our shift patterns you could do?" chat, but not yet had the official meeting. They told me about the person limit and that I may have to go onto a waiting list.
I can see this getting a bit awkward as it's only going to be a matter of 2-3 weeks before she'll be starting. So while I'm going about the book for now, I'm not really asking, I'm telling them that once she starts I'm doing 10-2 every day.
Had a chat with one of the higher ups earlier and in a rare moment of transparency he let slip how worried they are about the future. Building costs are through the roof and work to sort out cladding is costing a fortune, but we already knew that.
More concerning is that next year's rent reviews are being looked at and long story short - somebody is going to get fucked over. It's just a question of who. Council / social rents are set to track inflation and CPI (whichever is lowest). But they're both over 10% at the moment.
So either the government honour that and rents increase dramatically. Which will fuck Universal Credit and Housing Benefit budgets. Or they don't, and they kiss good bye to any more council / social housing being built nation wide.
I imagine they'll go for a middle ground where everyone gets fucked, but with a slightly less big dick.
Sounds like my brief reign of terror on West Midlands tinder in Summer 2018.
The dick won't be that small.
I've just been made aware of the Real Living Wage. When did the government decide that was a thing? Let alone a thing I was apparently earning?
That's been about for years. Meaningless as it is.
Loser.
I knew of the Living Wage but didn't realise they added another tier to the pile.
Got an interview for a different job next week which sounds great but will almost certainly lead to redundancy in future.
In a surprising turn, it seems that there might be an avenue for a promotion in my current role after they realised there really isnt anyone to replace me and my equivalents are leaving in their droves (for the same reason I was looking to).
Going to be an awkward thanks but no thanks on the different job if by stroke of miracle I dont tank the interview. Thankfully I forewarned them before applying my situation was complicated.
Holidays are over
Productivity not changing while morale plummets. The Musk effect.
Actually maybe it's a bit of a 4D chess move because I can't imagine if you work for Twitter right now morale could get much worse so you may as well employ you out of date thinking while everybody's jobhunting anyway.
It'll be a way to get rid of more staff without paying any severance.
Yeah loads thought it was going to last forever and bought houses in the middle of nowhere. No more walking the dog on the beach during work any more.
Not a hope they go back commuting now anyway but being asked to do your job isnt a grounds for an unfair dismissal cash grab.
I was off work today and went to London for a mooch around, went to some museums etc which I haven't done for a long time. It was amazing how packed the place was, again.
As I repeatedly said throughout the pandemic, from my deserted office, nothing has changed.
I permanently work from home and am still able to work. Sometimes I pick up my kid and hug her when I dare to have a break.
Emailing the nanny to pick her up doesnt count as a hug.
It would be better if you never saw her except for the occasional bath time and miserable trips to the park at weekends. Emotional nourishment is soft parenting.
I never hug the nanny.
Straight to pounding [/UncleRoger].
Not a cuddlerGood man.
There's been an eviction this morning that I couldn't attend due to an appointment later on this morning. They've gone in and there's a dead person sat in a chair.
The attending Housing Officer has apparently just been sick in the front garden. Word up to my boy Jesus for allowing me to dodge that one.
Poor people need to get on with it. [/Champagne socialism]
I'm in the wework office today. It's a massive downgrade from being at home (one screen) and the people I'm with aren't even in my team.
Were they getting evicted for not paying their rent because they were dead?
Like was the body there for a while?
Subletting. I'm assuming the person renting from the tenant is the dead person, but things are - to put it mildly - unclear at the moment.
Is subletting a council house a common thing?
If you just push the chair out into the street, does that count as a successfully administered eviction? Someone else's problem after that.
Massively common, yeah. We had one that was being used as a brothel a while back. 3 bedroom house, a bed in every room except the bathroom.
It is, my idiot father and his idiot hippy on/off mrs think it is a marvellous idea. She was wittering about Airbnb-ing her London council house a while ago, he mentioned the idea years ago in his old one but this is the guy who complained when some Bosnian lads squatted the flat he had been squatting in his absence.
