Liberal do-gooders who are more concerned about possible legal rights of convicted criminals being deported from the UK. Let them have them move in next door whilst they are waiting to be rightfully kicked out.

When I spoon out my porridge in the morning, the static created by the packaging that it's in causes oats to jump off the spoon and fly in all directions all over the work surface. You would think by the year 2020 they would have been able invent a suitable non-static wrapper for porridge oats wouldn't you?
People forgetting they've already had a moan about something...#10680 last Thursday :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

We buy one item from China. They have killed the market in terms of production for this product so they are the only source. I need more, have had an order in for a while but it was delayed by their New Year. Now we have the virus which means they are not back at work yet. I'm having to ration customers, we will soon be out of product. They will struggle to find alternatives elsewhere right now but I hate letting customers down, it is not how we work.

“Bad attitude to work” was one comment.
I don’t have a bad attitude to work, I have a bad attitude to utter bull and bureaucracy and I’ll call it out to anybody. I work most hours, weekends, Christmas and on call.

Work colleague who will be my manager sometime this year felt bad. He recognised he does less than me, quality isn’t as good and spends most of his time drinking tea but received a glowing report.

Bought it up with manager with a snarky remark and was offered a sit down to discuss. I replied with “we can discuss this later in the week when you ask me to come in at the weekend.

Sounds more like he has a bad manager or colleagues with a bad attitude to work. Sounds very much like an office I recognise...

almost getting knocked over twice by tossers on bikes this morning - the first was screaming and shouting at people crossing the road as she went through a red light and the second was riding on the wrong side of the road.

I might have directed some bad language at them

I might have turned my back and inadvertently caught them with a defensive shoulder...

I don’t conform, I’m not a yes man and I don’t play football or golf with management.
They are a clueless bunch with no leadership qualities don’t know processes. And I’m in a position where I can tell them they’re being stupid and they don’t like it.

My next manager, is somebody who doesn’t want the job but knows the job and has to take it so we don’t have another nodding dog to argue with.

Seeing how many people walk out the toilet without washing their hands at our place, eating food they've prepared is the last thing I'd want to do. The absolute cheek of robbing someone else's tea.
