    Biggest c@ck you've ever worked with?

    No comments from anyone whos worked with me :-)

    Being doing it a while and met a lot of lovely people over the years. Fortunately, outweigh the cocks but there quite a few. Sometimes I wonder what is going on in these peoples head.

    I'll start off:-

    - Client managed who tried to tell me I couldn't leave the office to go to gym at lunchtime (in case there was an emergency). He also tried t tell me I wasn't allowed to park on the road near the office (no yellow lines) because it looked "scruffy".

    - Client manager who was fine with me but treated the permies like crap. Reported one guy to HR because he didn't call before 10am to inform him he wouldn't be in after his mother had passed away.

    - Current client manager. Asks for favours when it suits him but won't give an inch back. Worked remotely on a Saturday at short notice because there was an issue - mega hassle for me with childcare - then moaned because I was stuck one friday afternoon for childcare but pulled the "no contractors allowed to work from home" card.

    Although I bet they say Im the biggest cock they've ever worked with!

    I'm astonished you've ever done a day's work.

        The only cock I see is the moaning one that started a pointless thread.

        So people are people, some OK, some not so. Hardly worthy of your ire really?

        If that's the worst you've met you've had it easy.

                I can usually get on with most people or manage to successfully stay out of their way. But I setup a team of contractors for a client a few years ago. One guy, just rubbed everyone up the wrong way and would start arguments. I won't go into all the crap he started and did but what I did learn was you can't reason with some people. There are some people that are just wrong. They like to argue and cause issues.

                You can't fix them, being kind does not work, understanding them does not work, attempting to be their friend does not work. Being hard or formal with them does not work.

                Some people are just wrong, luckily most people are just decent wanting to make some cash so they can spend time with their family away from work.

                    Pretty much this. As long as someone doesn't have a personality disorder (narcissism and sociopathy are the worst) I usually manage.
