Herman Hessian Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) nearly 30 years ago, I worked for a family-run business (not my family - other people's family !) who did a lot of (printing) work for a local, fairly well known artist; the youngest son of said other family - a right little shite - was nicking stuff and selling it at the local boot fairs and markets; artist finds out, goes mental, someone's head has to roll; clearly, the boss's son wasn't going to take the bullet, so a fresh-faced Herman, as the "last in" employee, got the boot; had a great six months trying to get another job on the back of having being sacked ! yesterday, their fucking shithouse company went bust and closed down - eighty years plus of family tradition down the toilet - an enormous Get To f**k You Set of c***s as an added and extraordinarily pleasing bonus, when i worked there, there was some "opt out of some pension scheme" bollocks, which I blithely signed up for no apparent reason and promptly forgot all about; found out eighteen months ago that the paltry amount that they had paid in on my behalf - having sat in some fund and been invested for nearly three decades - has a current value of just short of £70k I say again - Get To f**k You Set of c***s ! ps - obviously I don't bear a grudge or anything....

Mallo_Madrid Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'll be finishing shortly for 18 days off work. The sun is shining. I get married a week tomorrow and then head to Cavtat, Croaita for a week without my two wonderful kids. I'd say if Carlsberg did Friday's but I won't. Carslberg is piss-water. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I suppose anything’s better than having to do wage slips for 2nd rate labourers who make more money than you. Yeeees. I'm off to bed now. Would love to see the schooling. Morning reading, good luck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
