When did I tell anyone he had the money ? When the story first broke someone I know
Messaged me and told me it was going through, I just posted it on the thread on here.
I was more than a little sceptical from the start but TBH as soon as poker winnings were
Mentioned I was out.

I normally just laugh at the crap you post but, wow, that makes you sound like a complete arrogant cock. I'd be surprised if you had any real power in your job, this smacks of the kind of "made it" attitude you get from someone in middle management. A nobody.

I get it, it's tough when you spend all day taking shit from above and below, but there's little need for trying to prove your worth on a football forum to anonymous pseudonym's who really don't give the tiniest shit about your life. It's ok to have a half-decent job and be modest about it, you know?

What about the initial respondent who basically was practicing age disrimination Mark by implying older generation employees are lacking sufficient intellect for the roles they occupy.

Perhaps I’m deeply insecure and reacted in such a way because of such and I’m deeply scarred by it emotionally- have you ever considered that or are you essentially superficial?

Well if it's a quote from John McDonald and not your words in your signature and you're repeating someone's words, then you should put quotation marks at the beginning and not just at the end "
Or you could have put the word "quote at the beginning and the word unquote" at the end.
And you call me a think idiot !

What’s there to say?
“Ooh look he kicked it”
“I disagree”
“I know better than trained professionals”
“Goal!”

Boring.

How would I confirm his wealth came from poker ? I merely posted a message I'd received
On here, that's what people do on here isn't it.
Where do I tell people on here he's got the money, a bloke I've known for years 'but don't
Know that well PMd me out of the blue late one night to tell me he was with him and it was
Going through, I posted it on the thread on here, whilst also pointing out it was just something
I'd been told.

So why come out as a complete dickhead on here? Hope you now "take the blame" for calling people you say "enjoy working for you" as "underlings." Which basically showed no respect for them and you know your bosses would not be impressed as I am sure Jaguar Land Rover expect higher standards from management.

We all get on in our own little way. This place would be boring if we all agreed all the time. It thrives because of characters like Grendel. People wouldn't know what to do without him.

I agree, the original opinion is equally as loathsome (hadn't read that properly at the time). There does seem to be a sense of superiority in the younger generations as a higher percentage have gone through university education (and likely found it doesn't help them get the high paid job they'd hoped for).

The other point worth noting is not only was he baiting me but at the same time that Cap Locks crank was chasing me on every thread including the Regis ones!

Not true.
When I worked there a lad on the shopfloor kept making mistakes.
A top manager said "I don't care what you do but get that guy off the shopfloor"
They did!
They made him a supervisor.

There’s an old saying about never promoting a good guy up.

Used to work at Salvesens in Rugby and the drivers shop steward (ex Cov car factory steward) had the management tied up in knots every time... particularly when it came to wage negotiations. They promoted him to traffic supervisor then transport manager.
End of problem !
