    Crap Week (Possible Bedwetting Thread)

    [Sorry to steal your thunder here, SY.]

    So. I find out that a permie colleague has lodged a 'formal complaint' against me with HR. A long, and boring story - but she is revealing herself to be slightly unhinged. I've had to endure a couple of 'interviews' with HR; and managed to keep some semblance of calm throughout. The complaint is based on something that didn't happen - in any way, shape or form.

    My Programme Director has turned out to be surprisingly massively supportive throughout - I hadn't realised this has all been going on for a while now. I pointed out to him that I have no interest in liaising with HR as a contractor (which he is, too). He asked me to put up with it, and not to do owt rash. I agreed, but it's all been an unbelievably protracted process.

    I handed my notice in yesterday - the entire thing has been dragging on too long, and is too ridiculous for words. The idea that I may end up being asked to leave the programme because of this load of crap, is not worth contemplating. I know this sort of thing happens - all the time, but it's so naffing unfair; on this contract of all of them.

    I don't want to leave. I really, badly, don't want to have to leave. But I couldn't see an alternative - how could I continue to work with this twat, after what she's done.

    So I'm quite chuffed to report that she's been removed from the programme with immediate effect, and I've been offered a new contract, with a longer duration to tempt me back. Might keep 'em waiting till after the weekend before I confirm.

    I hope the above post doesn't give away the 'MP is MF's sockie' secret.

          I would guess it is based on the phrase "slightly unhinged". Mind you its MP talking here so slightly should probably read bunny boiling.

                Not the new girl no. I...I erm - well, the thing is - I'm now a big fan of the new girl. She's lovely.

                I know.

                This one - permie. Total and UTTER INCOMPETENT. I avoid her at all costs generally. I do think that she might be near to something like a nervous breakdown however, and that's not nice. Good luck to her - as long as she fkcs off and has it somewhere else.
