Congrats Appear and Percy! I'm rooting for both of you! I hope Appear will continue to stand up and Percy's opponents will stand down (in a nice way of course)

Percy · #**5074** 11th October 2023, 01:24

Thanks Chess.

Merry · #**5075** 11th October 2023, 09:20

Thanks Merry.

I told my manager he's rubbish at his job. I then arranged for him to have to meet with his deputy plus myself so that he could be shown how to do his job properly.

Dougella · #**5078** 11th October 2023, 13:24

^ You are a brave man. How did he take it?

Percy · #**5079** 11th October 2023, 13:43

Well done BFG. Incompetent bosses should always be called out.

BFG_ · #**5080** 11th October 2023, 13:52

^^ he didn't say a single word to me during the visit.

I don't think I'm on his Christmas card list anymore

^ thanks

anxiouslondoner · #**5081** 11th October 2023, 14:30

Good going y'all
I have succeeded by getting out of bed in the morning, mostly.
That's about all.
Send my award to the usual address.

Appear · #**5082** 11th October 2023, 14:40

^ Bed is rather cosy, so it counts. Are you still accepting Pogs as reward?

^^ haha. Good for you, BFG.

Thank you Never, Chess and Merry!

^ thanks

Managers now gone sick with "covid"

MissKatie · #**5084** 17th October 2023, 14:47

Just bossed another phone call...well I say bossed...I took two beta blockers and three ciders prior (bad idea to mix the two I know) but it was as always the initial anxiety that kills.

Thirty seconds into the twenty minutes call and I've already calmed down and forgotten about the anxiety

Percy · #**5085** 17th October 2023, 22:20

Well done Miss Katie.

Dougella · #**5086** 17th October 2023, 23:34

^^ Well done Miss Katie! (Maybe try without the ciders next time) Nice to see you around again

MissKatie · #**5087** 18th October 2023, 09:40

Thanks you two

Finally back in employment now so I think I'll be around a bit more often

Dougella · #**5088** 18th October 2023, 11:10

^ That's great

Are you doing a similar job to what you did before?

Shy_pretty_Angela · #**5089** 18th October 2023, 14:59

Chatted with strangers today .

Percy · #**5090** 18th October 2023, 16:59

Well done Angela

Haha exactly the same thing.eight months of interviews and getting absolutely zero positive feedback. ONE ten minute call with this company who can see my value and I was back in employment!

That's awesome! Strangers can be so difficult so really amazing

gregarious_introvert · #**5092** 19th October 2023, 10:38

Miss Katie - well done on the 'phone call and more importantly, getting back into work

Angela - chatting with strangers is a great achievement, be proud of yourself.

Mike.Kzov · #**5093** 19th October 2023, 12:08

^^ that's excellent, well done

MissKatie · #**5094** 26th October 2023, 03:55

Already have a pay rise and promotion lol
Gone from tier 0 (essentially new starter) to grade 3 in ten seconds.
Once the big boss pops in again, I'm going to train him on how to use the systems and I'll be out up to tier 4 (highest you can go)

I mean it's to be expected with my experience, but always nice to be noticed

biscuits · #**5095** 26th October 2023, 07:56

^ that's excellent news, Kate! Here's hoping the big boss pops in by the end of the week then for step 4. *paging big boss*

Nice one, Angela. Strangers are proper chatty these days, I find. The first few times it seems strange then you sort of get used to it, but I also try not to be the one to start up conversations with strangers!

Appear · #**5096** 26th October 2023, 23:06

Go MissKatie!!! Sounds well deserved. Hope you're getting yourself a promo treat of some kind!

Nicely done too, Angela! I tend to avoid chatting to strangers at all costs!

MissKatie · #**5097** 27th October 2023, 01:17

Haha I've been unemployed for eight months. My "treat is paying 10% of my debts off (which totally still counts as the same as a large pizza and bottle of wine honest)

citizen_erased · #**5098** 27th October 2023, 12:57

Yesterday I initiated a short conversation with a colleague i'd never met before in the staff room at lunch time about something on the TV.

I know it's not much but I was quite proud of myself, I usually hate trying to make small talk as I just find it awkward.

small talk is so hard and it's a big achievement to strike it up! Hopefully it will gradually get easier over time

Appear · #**5100** 27th October 2023, 15:15

Nice one @citizen!

Aw. That's very sensible. Especially with takeaway prices. But maybe an ASDA make it yourself pizza???

Apparently I'm a feeder.
