    That Melissa Cohen who got fired tonight is as mad as a box of frogs. And looked completely and utterly different on the You Got Fired show afterwards.

    But would you give her one?

      I don't watch the show but could you give us an idea of her business acumen?

          I missed it this week <b*gger>

          but..... she was a self deluded head case. Of all the harpies and witches of the current crop of girlies she was the worst, the only reason she hadn't been sacked so far was that she had been on the winning team, very much despite her rather than because of her.

          PS Although somewhat disparaging of the witches and harpies the dickwad "boys" are also pretty fu<ing carp!

            You'll be delighted to know that this week she topped everything she has done before.

                  OK, I'll give it a go.

                  Insisted she should be Team Leader again because selling to retailers (this weeks task) was her forte. She was outvoted.

                  Had a hissy fit and walked out when her team leader said he'd do the first pitch, not her.

                  The team split into two threes, and once away from the team leader, she insisted on doing the pitches for her half-a-team.

                  Tried to sell shower-heads and gardening tools to Debenhams, and wouldn't listen when the Debenhams bosses told her they didn't have plumbing or gardening departments. She never listens to the customer, so she told them to start up such departments.

                  Lost the business at every pitch she did.

                  The winning team made 92K! The other half of her team made 70K, but her half-a-team only made 800 quid (it also included that young loudmouthed fellow, and he might have been fired if she hadn't been there).

                  A few sales were disqualified for some reason, I think it was due to them offering the wrong prices.

                  In the boardroom she accused her team leader of not providing feedback. Nobody knew what she meant. She also claimed she was "never given a chance."

                  The firing was a formality, upon which she at first refused to get up and leave. Then after suralan asked her again to leave, as she walked out she accused her team of ganging up on her. Refused to shake her team-mates hands as they left.

                  Turned up on You've Been Fired (filmed six months later) with black hair, no glasses, and unrecognisable. Nicer, but mostly unrepentant and still mad.

                    Cheers DS.

                    She wouldn't have made a good rent collector then?
