Any system that takes more tax from people earning more than me, is a good idea.
Still, I may not have to worry about tax in a month or so. I've just been threatened with redundancy.

threatened in a nasty way
or informed of possible redundancies, which is in itself very scary?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 10 Jan 2012, 13:32, Reply)

Very nasty indeed.
The first ploy was to get me to write a document saying how I would reach various targets and competance on some new software systems. When I fail to meet these targets, which I will as production work must take priority, I will have broken the agreement and sacked myself.

Is that even legal?

( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Tue 10 Jan 2012, 13:39, Reply)

No,
I prefaced my document "without prejudice to my existing letter of employment" and didn't give any fixed times for learning the new stuff.

The boss was rather annoyed, but fuck him.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Tue 10 Jan 2012, 13:42, Reply)

Smart thinking.

It ruined my weekend.
I spent all of Saturday and Sunday, including missing Sherlock, writing it.

I missed Sherlock through the medium of passing out from booze.

its alright, he noticed somethings in slow motion, pretended he'd solved something and got it wrong

Yes, Bartleby you are an utter waster.
Reminds me of my old English teacher. He used to say that to me every week at least once.

I'm not proud of it, but I've got to protect my position.

The cunting boss is doing the same
but in a very out-of-order way
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 10 Jan 2012, 13:55, Reply)

Sorry to hear that young Roota
I'm afraid few are good at being a boss. Most just use their power in a cuntish way.

Oh man that sounds shit.
Unlucky. There's a lot of it about.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 10 Jan 2012, 13:35, Reply)

well, we shall see. The boss is behaving like a right cunt at the moment, and he may see reason and keep me on.
I am having to prove my worth against the Indian girl who works with me. I've got loads more useful skills, but she is cheaper.

I spend at least an hour a day looking at it, and wondering if it hairy.

If she gets the boot, I may suggest she goes on the game.
She'd make a mint.
