Not even a year...seems longer. Anyway, he spent the weekend doing some workload modelling based on his last uni. He plans to show the school management using maths how overworked he is. Reveal hidden contents Obvious play here is to tell him it is all relative and that it matters whether he is more overworked than his colleagues. Offer to run everyone else’s workload through his model, rig it in your favour and hey presto… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for that very reason - comparing his workload with the rest of the team won't reflect all that well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents I think it might work. Lengthy presentation, there is only so much that anybody wants to know about Fibannaci numbers. I suspect they will just cave in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So despite constantly complaining about him doing now work, when he actually does some, you just want him to hand it over and put no effort in yourself? That's a bit of a dick move 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit of a dick move You've actually got me wondering if he actually made the model, or just planned to make it and never did? I interviewed a guy for a lecturing job a few months back and this was the case. His CV talked about grants he had won, books he had written and so on. He unravelled at the interview and we clocked that he hadn't done any of this. For these he kept saying that he was planning to. At one point I asked him point blank if he had really worked at a US college he claimed to have been at for 5 years and he just didn't answer. The email he sent when he was rejected was a joy of expletives and personal abuse. And poorly typed, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) Might go for a job at scottsdad's work. By the sounds of the sort of charlatans they attract I'm sure I'd be running the place within a week.

scottsdad Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Spent part of today as part of an interview panel. In the end it came down to two candidates and we struggled to separate which one to appoint as first choice candidate, and which one to have as a backup. Another guy on the panel started talking about the second candidate. "Well, his hands were shaking a bit, and he has grey hair even though he is younger than me. Maybe he has a medical condition. Maybe we should appoint the other one, just in case" The woman from HR was, to say the least, not best pleased. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
