So fucking sack me then

[Rsmacker]

Do you want to borrow my tiler's kneepads again Wilks? Try not to get any, erm, "paste" on them this time whilst you are trying to save your job.

Maybe the boss wants rid of you because of your silver-tongued touch with the birds in the office. As the Call Centre King Dong, you obviously have the pick of the pussy, and after the infamous lift incident he probably knows he is not even going to get a sniff (maybe just of your fingers). If only he knew the truth, about.......you know......the moustache thing.

Actually, maybe you should send him some e-mails rejecting his advances, they will go on the system then, a nice black mark on his file, regardless of the validity of the complaint. EVERYTHING goes in a file somewhere or other, blot his copybook, maybe it'll come between him and a nice fat promotion one day down the line. "There's no smoke without fire"
Get your pansy bum-chum to complain too.

Anyway, you told me that "headsetting" was, well, taking a set in the head. I believe it is sometimes called "Teabagging".

Do you work for Direct Line? Them bastards tried to charge me renewal of £425 for my car, when I checked their website they quoted £258, robbing bastards! Just for that I'm going to be ringing them pretending to be "speshul" to see if they will insure my Spaz Chariot for Off-Road use. Will I get through to you in the "Bad Tempered Unhelpful Arsehole Dept"? That's usually where my calls are directed.

Hope you keep your job, KY isn't free, and you really don't want to go back to sucking off old men in bogs again do you? Never make a business out of a hobby, the fun always goes out of it.

Playing Devil's Advocate for a minute, why are you in the business if you can't tolerate people who don't know what they're doing calling you to ask what they should be doing?

I mean, sadly, not everyone is a whiz at these things, which is why the job you have was created. Yes, I know, stupid people that can neither read directions nor follow spoken directions are a pain, but remember when you didn't know anything about it.

If you've got people in the company asking you for information they should know, don't rag them about it, but give them the help.

Just make sure your expertise gets noted by the proper authority so when it comes time to promote or ditch, they look to you as the one to keep.

If you're a major asset to the company, you can be a major ass and still have a job.

I think it's like 3 verbals, 2 written and one final warning "by law" until anyone can issue dissmissal.

That's bollocks! Try some gross misconduct and you'll be out of there quicker than shit through a goose!

The only thing the law provides for is unemployment. If you do something bad enough you are gone.

[lerxstcat]

Just stay calm when you explain yourself. If you lose your temper when they're asking you about it, that alone is grounds for termination for insubordination.

Also, it seems that the ability to remain calm would be integral to your job, so if you can't even stay calm when your bosses are calling you down, they'll know you're going to be treating their customers badly.

Be calm, don't give them a reason to can you, and then look for a less stressful situation so you can move on on your own terms. It's always easier to get another job when you're currently employed. With a bleak economic outlook right now, don't take your job for granted. Unemployment sucks.

"Meeting" is at 5pm. I'm still jobhunting. As soon as I land something decent, I'm handing in my notice.

[Flatpicker]

Have to agree with Newc.
If that's the job and you were caught bouncing the call because you did not want to do the job, then you are at fault.

[lerxstcat]

Just kowtow until you have the other job. In fact I would wait until you have started the other job before letting your previous employer know how you really feel. Maybe not even then; you still need a reference for future job hunts.

Best revenge is to leave with a smile and leave them short-handed. If yoiu go off on them, then future references will start with "I'll deny this if quoted, but the guy's a prick" or something to that effect.

Such references are illegal, but don't fool yourself; they happen every day. so don't fuck yourself for a moment of pleasure.

Maybe a dart board with a pic of your supervisor on it would be therapeutic. Seemed to work for Lars...

[wilkinsi]

I don't have any photos of these cockroaches.

[wilkinsi]

shit. they didn't sack me. too bad. they'll be monitoring me profusely for 3 months. i got a verbal warning. pfft. i wanted an excuse to..

[shobet]

At least you'll still have money coming in to pay for your guitars. Plus it gives you time to find something else if you're that pissed off with it.

[wilkinsi]

Thanks Shobet.

[shobet]

Or buy more gin, it gets me through the day!

[Rsmacker]

they'll be monitoring me profusely for 3 months. i got a verbal warning.

That means no sloping off for a Ham-Shank if it's not break-time.

Sounds like the job is that shit they wouldn't be able to fill it if they gave you the boot. Either that, or they know they are pushing their luck so are trying to give you enough rope to hang yourself, then they can boot you without any comeback. Watch what you say for a while!!!


And NO touching anyone up in the lift. Male or female.
