Right now I'm so fucked off!!

[Feasty]

My office is soon to be moving business premises and I thought for the good of my CV and being seen to be willing to get involved, I put myself forward to help out manage this.
So I get invited to the first meeting this afternoon feeling a little out of my depth as there are many senior managers, I'm the lowest level employee there.

A senior manager then comes over to me and another manager and says there's too many people there and that one of us has to leave, the other manager says well he wants to stay and be involved. So what the fuck option do I have with a manager and a senior manager looking at me like I'm a piece of garbage that needs chucking in the bin. It'd do me no good to stand there and argue so I have to walk out looking like a fucking idiot - wankers the lot of them!!! Now I'm just gonna do fuck all work for the rest of the day and feel like telling them to piss off and I'm no longer doing anything above and beyond what I'm contracted to do - I hate this chuffing place...

Think that's bad? I just got an email sent to me by my final year project supervisor addressed to my project examiners slagging me off and saying how crap my work is.

I recently had the opposite happen.

I kept receiving emails about some senior management forum, I thought they were for information purposes or sent in error but no, my manager had 'nominated' me to attend. I think you can tell from my posts that I'm no senior manager, I'm not even a junior manager.

I found out I was supposed to go the night before then got a row for fecking it off because I was in the middle of moving and the meeting was 40 odd miles away in another office.

One thing I hate is attending meetings where I have nothing to offer and nothing to gain from them, its just a waste of time. I told my manager this but she said I should just go and sit there.

Eh!?!

If you had a reason you were better for it than him, and spoke your mind, maybe you could take it.


You had no reason and said nothing, and you bite the proverbial dust.


It's a savage garden, why not leave them behind and look elswhere.

Not such a bad idea Soul_Trader. And I'm already starting to look round for companies where employees who want to get on are actually valued!
However for the time being I'm drafting a complaint letter and then I'll have to cut out all the swear words, replacing them with the actual names of the people involved. Then I'll consider whether there's actually any point in sending it, I do enjoy the odd feather ruffling sometimes...

[The View Askew]

There is no point in sending it.

If you get the job, you will feel awkward while doing it.

Everyone will hear about it, and hold you in quiet contempt.


If you really want it, then you must go in person, and see the man who decides if you are in or out.

Tell him why you want it, and if he rejects you, and you think that's unfair, then bollocks, you tried, you get the sense of achievement from that, and move on, in the actual knowledge they wouldn't let you put in the effort.


If he allows you, BIG sense of achievement, and you will enjoy the job.


Don't be a wet and send them a poncy up your arse letter.

Nah it's not like I'm applying for a new position or job or anything, it's just a case of temporarily managing an office move without any extra pay or reward. Simply a case of trying to show I'm capable and willing to put the effort in which 99% of the people I work with think I'm daft for doing.

I'm planning on leaving the company afterwards anyway because they're making me move so much further away from home that it's just not practical.


As for Savage and Itchy's responses, I do appreciate your efforts to make me feel better on this one!

So a short while ago I sent a complaint email copying in HR etc asking for an explanation.

10mins later I get a meeting with the senior manager who's apologetic, explains it was a misunderstanding and 'bigs me up' for sticking my hand up for the work in the first place. He said he'll be a network contact for me and is already pushing to get some information about available positions sent to me that were previously unknown.

Result I THINK, thought you can never tell with these management types!

You should have stood your ground and said that you were there to represent your fellow colleagues and suggest that, in your opinion there were too many managers in the room. (cheeky buggers )

You get invited to the big boys meetings after doing something where you prove your worth, not to try and look important there. So you're now the junior guy that shouldn't have been at the big boys meeting, and then threw his toys out of the pram afterwards.

[Harold_Shand]

You're an arse-licker. This leads to contempt from peers and management. Tread carefully, your colleagues are saying things like "OMG, I can't believe that wanker put his name in for that"... whilst management are saying things like "OMG, who WAS that little wanker sat next Tim this afternoon?"

The world of that type of work exists to exploit you to make more money for them. Fuck 'em. Do what's expected, no more, no less.

I got fired two days ago on a service where the other two chefs fucked it and I literally got it all spot-on. (Also fired for one bad service, wtf?!). I am today going to go and grovel for a job that I am more than capable of doing because my idiot manager got himself in a tiz trying to be a chef.

Stop your bitching.
