Stamping your authority on subordinates

[SimonMac]

Got an ex contractor who couldn't cut it and came permie, given a stretching project to try and see if he's as good as he says (which he's not) but nothing that should trouble him, doesn't play well with others and doesn't seem to know the chain of command, what I say goes as he may think he is the big I am, but I KNOW I am the big I am in the place.

How do I get through to the socially awkward ex contractor?

How about going up to him and saying. "Hi MarrillionFan."

Tell him to give you a blow job and then tell him it was rubbish and he's fired.

Do it like MF does it on Discovery channel.

I am thinking of getting him this to wear:

I am thinking of getting him this to wear:

In a previous contract, my colleagues commissioned me a badge saying 'Tea Bitch', as I used to do the tea run to the (free) tea and coffee machine two floors down. But as I was being paid £15 for the time it took to do a run, I wore it with pride.

Really? You, YOU are attempting to have some fun at my expense. A little back room office boy on £15 per hour.

You'll amount to nothing in life son, nothing.

I think Tea Bitch implies direction and control, so you'll be screwed come the IR35 investigation.

Or did you have the right of substitution, so you could get them coffee instead at your discretion?

So how are MF's sloppy seconds? Sounds a bit too gamey for my tastes.
