Morning all
I'm in early today and I have to train 2 cunts in some stuff later on, despite pointing out to people I do not do training even if I am "really good at it" because I hate training (and to a lesser extent people in general). I'm trying to think of creative ways of fucking it up such that I'm not asked to do it again but don't actually get fired.

All suggestions gratefully received, if I use them and they work I'll buy you a pint at the bash.

Despite all this I am quite cheery, mostly because it's only 2 days to PierBash 2011, best of all the non-London bashs

Is train 2 cunts
a new sector, like business 2 business ?

If only.
One of them's OK, he's one of our cunts and will at least pretend to understand what I am telling him. The other one is someone else's and has a reputation for wrong-headed stupidity.

Black up before the training session?

I think, just think mind, that that might be grounds for summary dismissal.
this might violate the 'not getting fired' part of the plan. I did shave the sides of my head and re-dye my hair red last night, but experience has shown people are not put off by this.

Just be careful out here.
The chavs in Weston are not the most tolerant or cosmopolitan bunch. If you look even the tiniest bit individual, you WILL get stared at. And probably poked.

Surely a case of political correctness gone mad?

Can't you just drag it out
show them the same steps over and over again, no matter how stupid they are, treat them as if they are 10 degrees stupider than that so they get really frustrated.

And make sure it takes so long that they leave only half trained.

I suspect I may not have to try to do this.
Apparently the man has trouble telling a .jpg from a .png if I didn't know for a fact his name was not Martin (33 fudge analyst from Norwich) I'd suspect I was training Foxtrot.

Just do it,
then send an email to HR expaining how the extra responsibility of training falls outside your core duties and that your expectation is that it deserves a significant pay rise.
You wont get asked again.

Don't turn it into something it's not,
a 20 year old student legitimatley telling a 30 something year old lawyer to grow up. Is good enough as it is.

granted
but your borderline encyclopedic knowledge of "how to get out of doing things at work smugly" allows me to run with this, I think you'll find

I automate jobs and simplify processes smugly. I don't ignore my work.
It's constructive laziness.

Then you will be left behind, and soon you won't be enjoying any part of your job.
Unless you have galactic powers of I don't give a fuck, you will find yourself being managed by a cunt who can barely wipe his own arse, but knows how to get on with the bosses. I guarentee this will cause misery and stress.

This has not happened thus far.
Apparently I'm just so fucking good at my job that even titting around on here for half the day still makes me good enough at it that people think well of me.

Either that or I'm just lucky, either way it works for me.

Frankly if this training shit (which isn't even vaguely close to my job description) keep coming up I shall move on.

Did this last time.
And frankly they couldn't pay me enough to do this shit. If it caries on much longer I'll have to look for another job.

Do you think 'Training' is called training because you're really good at what you do and you lead other people down the same skill-path like a train going down the tracks?
