The way estate agents describe the fking little rabbit hutches we call houses/homes in this country. half a mile down the road, a reasonable house has been demolished, and 3 rabbit hutches are replacing it. And they are being described as executive on the site billboard !!

Edited by robinessex on Monday 7th September 20:51
Doesn't make me angry but every new house / flat is advertised as "Executive". Makes we want to go into these developments and ask for a non-executive bog standard house biggrin
And folks, quick, snap up a bargain !! The two smaller exec house are a mear £650,000, and, wait for it, the 'larger' is £750,000!

A mate of mine has just told me his daughter has been physically assaulted by her boyfriend, she used to baby sit our dogs when she was living at her parents and was a really nice kid, now she's alone in a new city stuck in a flat with a .

See also; Recruitment Consultants.
I had one submit my CV (without my knowledge or permission) to my CURRENT employer, about 3 weeks ago, leading to some questions from my boss about why I'm looking for another job, if I wasn't committed to the job etc etc etc. We both laughed it off (without the laughs) as soon as we realised it was unsolicited. I've got a stty email written out to the boss of the recruitment compant, ready to send, but I'm in two minds. Either send it and play the highly offended professional and make the consultant in question fear for his job, or just forget about it and accept that he was a bit keen and possibly won't do it again. The guy did send me an apology, but it half-arsed and was full of lies about getting CVs confused when multi-tasking etc - even though I've never been in contact with this recruiter in my life.

My fiancee used to work for a domestic violence charity. This sort of stuff (by women as well as men) isn't uncommon.

I've just found out this afternoon that a former employer of mine, who narrowly avoided prison after he and his business partners stole 2 years of our pension contributions, is employed (via subcontract, as Technical Director) by my current employer. He took our contributions, and then folded the company along with 3 business partners (2 of which did time, but the 2 weaker ones, not the guilty ones IMO), whilst enjoying a lifestyle of nice houses, holidays, and sports cars/luxury 4x4s. (This was 15 years ago so I shouldn't hold a grudge, should I?)

The was supposed to deliver something a fortnight ago that I've got a team of people all holding fire waiting to come in and work on, and he is stalling, not answering his phone etc.

What annoys even more is the second guy who avoided time is his Managing Director at the company which is providing the service.

It would be unprofessional of me to email my bosses and inform them of his past, but the thought that he's actually still alive, let alone working for a substantial company via no doubt a very lucrative subcontract is literally making my hands shake.

Puke with anger? I completely understand.

Piss poor inter dept comms at work.


I am actually feeling sick with worry when its not my fault, and veiled hints this could have job ramifications.

The view that women are always the victim in cases such as this really angers me too.

We received a job application for an accounts role a few weeks ago. This job has full access to our company's cash and accounts.

The person applying had just been in the local newspaper for fraud. Basically, she had been working at a lettings company and keeping the rent that people paid. She funded a lavish lifestyle for a while before she was found out. She was sacked, went to court and didn't end up with a custodial sentence.

We thought it hilarious that she was applying for a money-related role. Interestingly, we only found out her history because someone else in the department had been directly affected by her theft.

Indeed. It's quite one sided, although there is work being done now to address the balance.

I would definitely be tempted to tip off current management especially with him having a record of theft/fraud

The wker in me would want them to know it was me that passed the word around, that's my problem. I'm too up for revenge.

Recent overuse of the word portal. There's even a place named after it near Tarporley,Cheshire (very historical) FFS.
So if you hear anyone using the word they're most definitely talking out of it !

It's now quite easy on the internet to bypass those guys now. I've a few friends who have done it.
