Jaggy Snake Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 It was a few weeks ago now but someone walked past a radiator in the office and noticed it was on, when it was a pretty warm day. They checked the next couple of radiators which were on as well. However, instead of just turning the knob on each radiator they decided to switch the boiler off. This meant the kitchen had lost its hot water and when the boiler was switched back on a couple of days, the hot water didn’t return. Weeks later and that still hasn’t been fixed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 2 hours ago, LondonHMFC said: We had a double delivery of milk on Tuesday, which has led to Armageddon in the office, anyway, got this email last night. She signs off every email exactly the same. Not sure if she forgets she has a signature, or just likes thanking herself. That sign off though! Get her to change it ASAP. It's a travesty. It's like she thanks herself at the end (Thanks Gem). Learn punctuation ya daft hoor. Then 'Many Thanks' has both words capitalized, but 'Kind Regards' doesn't. Then a double break until 'Gemma' (despite her mentioning her name earlier). It's a disgraceful mess of poor punctuation and a syntax nightmare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Absolutely roasted due to ‘health and safety’ putting locks on the fire exits so we can’t open them without breaking the glass thing inside them. Is it f**k safe, they were put on to stop people nipping out for a fag or fresh air. Tried to open another door to let a draft through, was shut within minutes. The guy who fitted them can go outside any time, nice one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 We had a wifie round complaining about the heat in her office and wanting to be sent home today. Newsflash, hen - it's hot in your house as well... Strangely enough, she was also round complaining about how cold her office was and wanting to be sent home just over three months ago...there seems to be an acceptable temperature range of about five degrees either way before she thinks we should let her away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've switched jobs recently and so far at the new place I haven't come across any of these types at this job yet but at my previous few jobs there has always been one or two, usually a middle aged man and/or someone who has a Masters degree in Business (MBA) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron was probably the most arrogant c**t I have ever dealt with in a work capacity, he was constantly talking down to people he perceived to be weaker or less intelligent than him, sometimes even flashing his Mercedes keys just to prove his point. Worst of all he would not bother to share critical information with other people because he was "too busy" and "too important" to hit forward on a fucking email!!

I soldiered on, manfully. Aircon was broken in here for a few weeks last summer, office temperature hitting 40c for 2 weeks solid at one point. Only concession they made was that we could come into work in shorts and a t-shirt. Managed to get away with clocking off a little early on a few occasions, but that simply meant half 4 rather than half 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Had a laugh at the milk email on the page before and delved into my emails to find this gem from November last year - "Paula, Graham and I have just emptied both fridges of out of date items dating back to April, 2015! From cartons of milk/ orange juice, honey to a very black absolutely stinking what we think was a sandwich. If you have anything in the fridge I suggest you put your name on it or it will be put out in the bin whether it is out of date of not. BE WARNED!!!" They tried to come up with a rota for people to give the fridge a clean and tried to get me to join up. I've never once stored anything in the fridge in the 4 years I've worked here. I live 2 minutes away and go home for lunch everyday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
