Cerberus Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I told my assistant manager to "get on a fucking bus and give us all some piece" after a heated disagreement today. Tommorow should be fun... Are you a bus driver? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Fella in the toilet cubicle next to me decided to carry on his loud phone conversation he was in when he came into the toilets while taking an equally loud shite, I don't speak Russian so not sure if it was a personal or business call but I'm not sure who's worse, the shiter or the person on the other end staying on the line while he's clearly having a shite. Manky behaviour all round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been pretty mainstream , all over europe since about the 12 th century , sadly it’s been a problem longer than our green and blue friends , and I find that deeply depressing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosser0209 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 At my work we all need to work 1 Saturday a month which can be a bit of a pain but nothing too bad. Anyway last month I had took my turn to work a Saturday and this girl in my team was frantically trying to swap her Saturday shift with someone so she could go out, so I obliged to do her a turn with the understanding that she do the same for me. This morning I took a look at the schedule and saw that I’m due in on the 7th which is when we play hearts at home, so I say to her in the nicest way possible that she work that weekend with her telling me “fuckin no chance am out that weekend” Seething doesn’t come close 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 We have marched in lockstep all over this forum but today, brother, we must separateIn fairness, In my line of work, I either wear overalls if I am outside, or more usually, if I am inside I wear whatever I want. Usual choice is a pair of under armour trackies and a cheapo t shirt from H&M 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 A woman in my office just phoned her son and said, very loudly, "I've only ordered you a small pizza and a Diet coke. I'm not made of money......... how's it ridiculous?" and then the conversation ended. It tickled me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her working that shift for me was shook on, which is why it’s so infuriating, proper arsehole behaviour imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Shirt and trousers. Never a suit. Ever. Always a suit for a higher level job, other jobs I don't care, I just want to know if you are good people & I will get that through talking to you, be presentable & wear what you want as long as you dont turn up in Lonsdale jobby catchers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to do that the blame would be with me unfortunately otherwise I’d be doing that in the future , these sort of shift swaps can be/are very informal and management will be informed once 2 people have agreed to swap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? I haven't worn a suit to an interview in ages. I'd imagine it's probably best to wear whatever the norm for the company is. If I was doing an internal interview and some guy had been wearing jeans for the last 2 years and and suddenly comes in wearing a suit, I'd think that was a bit weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do dress like Wurzel Gummage so maybe I'm projecting. It doesn't really have any bearing on how seriously you're treating it though. The only advantage would be if the interviewer had the idea that people who wear suits are serious and people who don't aren't. And I think that's generally not a commonly held view anymore outside of a certain set of professions or industries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of job do they need to tell people the dress code for an interview?I wouldn’t give a job to someone who couldn’t be arsed to put on a shirt and tie for an interview. If you turn up for an interview in jeans you might as well not turn up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does happen though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
