nsr Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 20 minutes ago, ICTChris said: My colleague followed up this by setting up a meeting for 7pm tonight to discuss this issue again. So he set up a meeting before he got into the office then for after he'd left the office. In addition, everyone working on this project will be out of the office so they'd either have to work late or log in from home. Sometimes in our role you have to have meetings at different times but there has to be a justification for it, absolutely none in this instance. Pure slopey-shouldering. Brutal stuff. If he's scheduling meetings for a time when he won't be around, can't you just hold the meeting and in his absence assign him all the least pleasant jobs? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost respect the egregious level of shithousery going on here. It's like he's pushing to see how far he take it until someone cracks and attacks him with a stapler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Have you considered asking him why he schedules meetings about his work for which he isn't present? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It's hard to actually stop him doing it as we are all free to manage our own work / projects and set up meetings as needed. There's a degree of trust that everyone is fine with, except one.He must have a line manager or someone who can rectify this work avoidance methodology he is employing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far be it for me to agree with a corpophiliac nut job like oaksoft, but he's got a point.

BFTD Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 One of our managers just went off on holiday, and has seemingly spent the past two weeks having a very good time with a variety of different people and substances. She's best mates with the manager of another shop, so has been sending her texts about her exploits.She was a bit worse for wear when she returned and decided to sack off her first day back. Unfortunately, she decided to let her mate know, who then forwarded her last two weeks of texts to The Big Boss. She's now suspended pending investigation.WTF is wrong with people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were told in no uncertain terms that we wouldn't be working on their work at 7pm. Generally we manage our own work and update a handover if we need other people to pick things up. It works well because we aren't liberty taking dicks. For the call this morning, he logged in from home after work yesterday and sent out an invite for an 8:30 call so no-one could tell him no as there was no-one about. That also meant no-one dialled into the call as they weren't aware of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I went to lunch with a colleague today and he spend 10 minutes telling me and about 10 other people in the sandwich shop how his 6 year old son has a whopping penis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what she's possibly gained out of that. Lost a friend she's supposedly been close with for years, our boss doesn't seem the type to be particularly impressed by that kind of shitebaggery, and she's thoroughly outed herself as OFTW with everybody else in the organisation. Someone we work with has never liked her, and his theory is that she just saw somebody's back exposed and stabbed it as a reflex. 2 minutes ago, Cerberus said: I went to lunch with a colleague today and he spend 10 minutes telling me and about 10 other people in the sandwich shop how his 6 year old son has a whopping penis. Alright, forget what I was saying. This requires more explanation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she keeps her job and gets a warning I hope she caves her 'best mates' head in with a claw hammer. If she gets sacked I'd settle for a vicious knife attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
