    There's lots to do and not much time to do it...

    ...so what do the unskilled, easily replaceable managermen do? They plan some extra meetings to discuss what has to be done 3 times a day. F&*king idiots.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      This happens everywhere Ive ever worked. Meetings about meetings I used to call it. There's always something that didnt get done, that if the time hadnt been taken by having a meeting about doing it, then it would have been done.

        I assume, like us, they spunk the whole day on internet forums whining how no one else can do their job properly

          Yep, but I get my work done. They don't.

            All meetings thankfully cancelled. One manager marched off the site,one manager's contract not being renewed at the end of July and another manager not renewing her contract. Does anyone have a test script on switching off the lights and locking the door when my contract ends at the end of August?

              This is great.

              Attent the meeting.

              And think of the money!!!!!!

              I recommend an android app called poop salary - it calculates the money you earn while doing something else than working (toilet breaks/meetings/whatever)

                Don't know why you're complaining, you always seem to have plenty of time on your hands

                  Seeing as I have a larger brain than most managers (the simple act of belonging to the homo sapiens species is enough for that), I can easily do my job for a couple of mins at a time and then piss around on CUK for a few mins, and get all my work done.

                    And why would they do your work? They are paying you to do that
                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!
