Data manager is ace, I sit on the next desk to him, he fights my corner, sticks up for me, and we have a good laugh.
Sales Director has his moments of absolute cuntitude, but mainly he's alright.
MD1 works here everyday, and drives me up the wall with double standards, pointless meetings, over the top complaints, etc. However, I can't fault the fact he has been fair to me on multiple occasions.
MD2 is only here from time to time, and is class. Very much to the point, recently gave me a 5 minute bollocking, then when he stood up and opened the door, told me he considered the matter done. This makes a change from the other MD, who insists on referring to past troubles all the fucking time.
Alt: Hmm, probably this one.

There was a time when I'd not been here long, when I used to go out on a Monday night, and was a bit zombiefied on the Tuesday morning. Not hungover, just a little slow with my work.
Enough was enough, and MD1 pulled me in for a quick meeting, just asking if I could be a little more careful, and be a little more alert when I arrived. All polite, all fair, no worries, I heeded his advice, and nothing more was said on the matter.
18 months later I was tired on a Tuesday morning due to not sleeping well the night before, and I was pulled into the office and warned 'Now come on, we spoke about this not too long ago!', not even giving me a chance to point out I'd not been out on a Monday in over a year. That's what they're like.

As I say, it's not like I came in and had my head on my desk, I just couldn't function at full capacity for an hour or so in the morning.
