Was the same watching Arsenal and Man City too. .... and to add to that... Jack’s hair. He looked like an absolute grade A bellend.

Genie Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I have a colleague who has the extreme opposite of a can-do attitude. It really wears me down. You could ask to borrow a pen and he’d come up with 5 potential problems with lending a pen out. I was getting something of his signed off by a director the other week and I said to him I should be ok with it but it wouldn’t hurt if he dialled in too in case I was asked some history on it that I didn’t have. He said as it was 9am he couldn’t be sure if he’d be awake yet or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket polisher! Point of order - he's a genuinely nice bloke who loves the Villa. Not the best commentator in the world, granted but he's not a rocket polisher. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, why did he stop doing the commentary when we were relegated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met him and he seems a really nice bloke. I also have a mate who knows him and he does a lot for charity for free and generally seems like a top guy. His commentary can be questionable at time, but he's not a bad guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I’ll take back the nasty comment. I’ve only ever heard his commentary and seen that video of him singing in the bath. At least my post was on topic, he pisses me off, but shouldn’t 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are definitely offloading a fair few Useless words removed. The bloke I share an office with is history, its there in Black and White in the 30 day redundancy document. His position is being abolished in a departmental merger Then again, he should have realised this months ago when he was furloughed and three of his staff were retained on the skeleton staff. Can't wait to get rid of his desk and have more space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) We had some joker that is my equivalent in another team who constantly looks for excuses to do **** all, to the extent other people are doing bits of his job because he just didn't do it. He was asked to perform a fairly mundane part of his role and in a meeting including various far more senior staff replied "I don't really feel very comfortable doing it". Bitch, is there any part of your job you do feel comfortable doing?! No, browsing BBC Sport is not in your job description, and I know the only reason you turn up an hour before everyone is so you can blatantly take the piss and do nothing for an hour. In every company I've ever worked for, management are too weak. They're too scared or unwilling to deal with staff that clearly under-perform. They'd rather be people's mates than have an honest conversation with someone along the lines of "your standard of work is nowhere near sufficient. Up your game, or go". I've got a list of 4 or 5 people I deal with on a regular basis that if I had the power, I'd have on a formal warning, performance improvement plan, then out the **** door within a few months if they didn't seriously get their shit together.

This guy who told me he couldn’t support me getting his plan approved because he wasn’t sure he’d be awake at 9am was always in the office before me, and I got in at 7. As you say, he had some agreement with his boss to start and finished super early because he can doss for the first hour of every day. Now it’s WFH he miraculously cant support a meeting at 9am with the department director as it’s potentially too early. Absolute dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Schedule the meeting for 9am, invite him and if he doesn't turn up then the director will know why WFH and not being able to guarantee being up by 9am is unacceptable, assuming they are the working hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
