    then look in the mirror, then shrug their shoulders and walk of whistling.

    • somehow

      what annoys me most is how people go about it, if they're sneaky or refuse to answer phones I find it annoying, but if they do it in a friendly way like me, then that's okay!

      • I ask my

        colleague Chris to answer my office phone regularly and he puts them on hold and asks me if I wants to speak to them.

        He's not a receptionist. I feel a bit bad, but it's great experience for him.

  • some of the support staff are a wee bit of a chore in this regard

    But they just don't give a shit, which I can totally sympathise with, because I don't really give a shit either and the only reason their fecklessness bothers me at all is that I can get in trouble for it.

  • yes and yes

    I don't think everyone should be working like crazy all the time and we all need to relax and blow off steam but I do get increasingly bemused by how some people come into work and actively avoid work for the entire shift. Do they not get bored avoiding work so hard? Fucks sake, JUST DO SOME WORK.

    but not posting official stats as I'm pretty sure it could get me in trouble. Shes got passive aggressive on FACEBOOK with me and keeps talking about 'emotional vampires' and 'fun sponges'. Works works you dumb fat cunt. I was bred like I am so dickheads like you can float around all day talking about pictures of dogs in hats.

  • Some people here have to-do-lists made of Teflon

    but mostly everyone works hard. What pisses me off is what they spend that time doing - endless meetings instead of just making a decision, updating reports that no one asked for and no one looks at, discussing every fucking email they receive with the people around them.

    sadpunk | 9 Jul '14, 09:41 | X
    • this seemed to be the situ here when I took over

      so I stopped doing those things. Now it's all a bit tumbleweed...

      • my last job had folk who literally filled their calendar every week

        with endless "catch-up's" with each other

        in the 6 months i was there they achieved absolutely nothing, which given it was a pretty well-respected/supported charity was really pretty galling

        • I hate this about business.

          I'd rather get my head down and work through my Trello list than be in those meetings achieving nothing.

  • My work is pretty much entirely reactive

    so if I have nothing on my plate fucking about on here and elsewhere keeps me looking busy

    I'd be more than happier if I was busier and didn't have time to fuck about on forums

  • ok, she's not feckless and work shy

    but she's just really struggling to get on top of things and I have to keep stepping in but she won't go to the appropriate training to learn how to use the internal tools properly and just keeps relying on me for help but I just can't keep helping her with the same shit over and over again and I can see she's sinking a bit and I could help by doing by doing loads for her but it's not my fucking job but I feel bad
