lol if they call your bluff.

I'm not sure threatening suicide in response to not getting a promotion is the best way to secure future opportunities.
I have no plans on returning.
That is a big dick move right there Manc, not sure I'd endorse it but if your company claims they care about staff in any way shape or form I'll be very curious to see what they do.
They have been mega cunts there, a triple stitch up. No union presence at your spot I take it? But yeah I'd be fucking it right off if I had no skin in the game.
Just logged off until the 4th January
I came off on Friday until the 8th. What a time.
Full day tomorrow, half day Thursday, half day Friday. Customers still absolutely smashing quote requests in like there's no tomorrow. The Arab has fortunately taught Lupe to answer the phone now so I don't have to speak to quite as many tight arse northerners on a daily basis, though we did have a jock on earlier crying about next day delivery being too dear at £9. Who do you think pays the drivers and handlers, you penny-pinching haggis-eating cunt.
Game over tomorrow
I've got the rest of this week to plough through. I'm already fed up.
More fucking tax rises. Fuck off.
Monster day tomorrow and probably need an early start Thursday to get me home and hosed before I can auto pilot into an early finish Friday.
How much would he have been paying for his overall order?Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
£1.31. He was lucky we agreed to sell him it at all.
Why would you need next day delivery on someone that costs £1.31?
Edit: Something, obviously. I doubt your company sells slaves, yet.

Paper gasket without which you can't put an engine back together.
When it's only a paper one, has he never heard of buying a roll of it?
And cutting it himself? Why do that when you can buy it ready made with next day delivery for £1.31.
£10.31.
Plus a day wait. You cut those in about 3 minutes with a hammer.
Doesn't your company do tens of millions of pounds of business? Hard to imagine supplying 1 item worth £1.31 is even worth the time.
Yeah, but what about that sweet sweet shipping uplift.
If we can just make 9 times the value of every order through shipping, you'll have to do that in your own best South African accent.
We've had a shit year. Tiny profit overall, and with our digital marketing department making a significant loss. I've made the decision to get rid of 2 of the 3 members of that team in the new year, so that's something to look forward to. One of them is 63, and has only been with us for 9 months and said this was going to be his last job before he retired.
We had our best year in 10 which got me a months salary in bonus. I started in March. Company is made up of 7 people. Pure coincidence I'm sure.
It isn't and we make a loss on it, but it's worth it to keep the product flowing out there.
If he told you it's his last job before retirement he should just be thankful he's not getting whacked by the mob, invoking such a powerful phrase. You're doing him a favour, he's a ticking time bomb.
This year the company lost a few government contracts which means I'm working for someone else next year. Or the year after that. These things never move on schedule.
Digital marketing sounds like a peak millennial non-job and not something a 63 year old should be doing.
SvN lost half his business because he hired a guy that was buying ad banners for Vbulletin Off Topic Football Manager forums and somehow we still didn't make a penny.
I finish on Friday but everyone who went to the Christmas Do is down with Covid, except me and one other lad.
Tomorrow in the office is gonna be a slog.
I'm a twit
I also finish on Friday, but work is ridiculously quiet, so I'm mostly just sat with my laptop open doing nothing.
I was about to pretty much type the same. Production has finished for Christmas and it's dead here but I've got to be in until Friday. Appearing busy is harder than actually doing a shit ton of work I find.
Just had a last minute Stay Hearing come through for an eviction that's meant to be going ahead in the new year. 10:30 tomorrow ffs.
I've never felt more Christmassy.
Some guy at my place got the tin tack this morning. Merry Christmas.
Even this morning business was still flying. I've fucked off this afternoon because why not.
Guys in our industry get really annoyed by Christmas, it just gets in the way of the real fun in life which is accurate and timely engineering.
Finished work until 9th Jan! Was a very slow day today.
You can't tell us this and not elaborate. Is your boss SvN?
Nah, it was pretty cut and dry to be honest and he was already on a final written. Just unfortunate timing.
Just about to leave for court and I am absolutely foaming. My instructions are to ask for outright possession within 14 days. Which is fair considering her arrears and antisocial behaviour, but mate... it's Christmas ffs.
It's my own fault for saying how quiet it was the other day really.
Got into work for 7am and been told that we've got to be out by half 9. Does feel like I've wasted my diesel commuting but at least I'll have time at home to sort things out for the dreaded drive back to Slough tomorrow morning.
Just try to enjoy it. Savour the anguish on her face. Thrill at the tears as the children's presents are snatched from under the tree and sold as collateral. Embracing it is the only way.
Court cancelled, Judge is sick \./
Probably got Covid like everybody else.
I'm a twit
Or fancied a day on the piss.
Scrooge's reprieve.
That's me done til the 9th Jan.
Finished the day with a Teams call to the sidekick.
I'm a twit
And breathe.
Glad to get that other with.
Invited her to Christmas Dinner?That's me done til the 9th Jan.
Finished the day with a Teams call to the sidekick.
I've got work in the morning and instead I spent the last hour getting a ChatGPT version of Shadow the Hedgehog to free Palestine, pull a Chaos Emerald out of my ass and then get it to do an italian accent while boasting about his problemattically racist social media presence.
Ended with:
Do not worry, my friend. I will not back down-a. In fact, I am about-a to say something so racist-a, it will surely result in my complete removal of all social media platformsSo I asked him what the post was
hell yeah racist italian stereotype shadow the hedgehog, whats the post you're going to makeAnd was banned.
