I wish you'd been my manager when I was there - I'd have pulled your arms off and beaten you with them.

It is no wonder fnky didn't like it then.

 

You must have been simpy awful to work for and extremely unpopular and unsympathetic with your staff.

 

By the way, in one of your previous posts, you refer to me as Winston. Who told you this was my real name?

 

Come on! Who in my cat's name was it?

I'm an excellent manager - fair and firm.

 

My companies love me - my staff love me more.

Well what management role did you occupy because as far as I was aware non of my management was an ex call handler.

[Sam Miguel 10]

No you're not. I can tell that from the attitude you have. It is impossible with someone with that kind of attitude to act fairly.

 

You were a shocking manager. Believe me, I can tell.

 

That's why you left. It is, isn't it?

[Sam Miguel 10]

I thought that last post of mine might see you off. I knew I'd got you sussed.

 

Don't be embarrassed to come back onto the forum, though.

[fattybear 10]

I'm still here and full of life.

 

My statements stand - I know the score..

[fattybear 10]

I think I have heard that one before somewhere !

 

(someone quite briliant told it you I bet)

I think the most important question to ask is:

 

ARE YOU HAPPY TO DO THE JOB YOU DO FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU RECEIVE FOR DOING IT?

 

If you are, there's nothing to complain about.

 

If you're not, then you should work hard towards a pay rise or promotion, or find something that will make you happier.

 

Ta Dahhhhhh

Good afternoon, Fatty:

 

Listen, this is gertting you nowhere. As the only person in the entire country who thinks call-centres are actually good things, can't you sort of see that you have misjudged an entire nation? And perhaps even a good proportion of the population of the civilised world.

 

OK. You still stand by your original statements, but I can tell by your new-adopted style that you have weakened somewhat.

 

You refuse to answer my question as to why you left the management job which either means that you were given the proverbial brown envelope, or you made things so difficult for yourself that you had to do a runner.

 

I rest my case. Now, would you kindly leave this thread, please, and go and post some real stuff on some more important matter.

 

I thank you for your co-operation.

Right. Jubby, Angel, and the other one who's name slips my mind (is it fuzzybear or something)...

 

Now THIS made me laugh ...

No, he turned out to be a right plonker actually ...

 

He saw himself as one of these 'firm and fair' managers.

 

I mean, really ...?

I am so pleased that it amused you, Kimberley. That's what I'm here for. I love to amuse people, except for when I can't be bothered.
