It was actually the Monday just gone
Very dodgy circumstances.

I was sat at my desk on monday morning when my new boss decided he wanted at chat with me at 11.30, given it was 11 and he had been my boss for 4 weeks and still hadn't properly introduced himself as he had been "ill" for three weeks, In total we had been in the office together three and a half days. I presumed it was just a hello type thing. No. He took me to the canteen and told me as of 5pm that day I was no longer in my department. The reasons he gave were 1) we have a timer tool thing that is basically in place so that managers can sit on their fat arses in another room and be able to tell if their team is working without having to disrupt their very important wanking session. I think it's a whole pile of shit and quite frankly I did far too much work to bother stoping and starting it every two seconds as in all honesty the only times I got a good result was when I was doing no work and just fixing the results to make me look good. Needless to say my current manager, having seen me for all of 3 and a half days decided I didn't do enough work, strike one.

Strike two was I had an orange hooded top with tigger on it. there is nothing in the dress code to say I can't wear it, if I was female I would be able to wear it but for some reason my manager told me not to wear it. I ususally took it off after a bit but sometimes I'd forget. He told me half an hour to take it off was unacceptable.

The third thing he got me for was sending a long email to one of my friends about my weekend. A lot of things happened over the weekend and I thought as not to disrupt both our work I would send him an email as I had an unusually quiet morning and any work I did have to do I did whilst writing the email.


Those were the the reasons he gave, but I think there may be more to it. I was leaving the company in three weeks anyway, and he knew that. Unfortuantely he is a spineless piece of shit with a monotone voice. He is one of these people who can't get authority naturally, which is not a good thing for a manager. The only way he can get authority is by sacking people and hoping that everyone else falls in line. I've seen him do this before but I thought he had got over that stage in his life. But no, he goes and does it again. Unfortuanately I was only a temp so I don't really have any rights.

By the way, in case you were wondering his name was **, he worked for Bradford and Bingley in customer relations. His email address is *removed by mod* Just in case you wish to tell him how much of a spineless piece of shit he is. Oh, and if you ever work with him, don't trust his ass kissing lips.

I'm still bitter.
