My stupid cow of a boss turns up this morning wearing a face mask announcing she has Covid, so the sales director immediately told her to turn round and go home, she tried to tell everyone she felt fine etc but she was made to go back home.

30 mile round trip for her, she couldn’t ring in to check first off like anyone else would. She seems to think the place can’t run without her and she has to be there.

If anyone else would of done it she would of gone mad at them. The kind of twat who had two weeks off last year and came into work atleast twice to see how it was all going. Absolutely nothing else going on in her life, the fucking jobsworth!

I really try not to go through life hating people as it rots you from the inside, but I absolutely detest the woman I really do

A colleague did that after telling everyone they were going to Rammstein on Sunday.

No - DON'T ring in "to check first" - your workplace should still have a policy in place that you stay at home (and work from home if you are well enough) if you are positive or have any symptoms. Wear face coverings in densely-populated or poorly ventilated rooms (or reschedule meetings that would be predicted to fall into these categories to be online).
We have adopted this for a wider range of infectious diseases so that the workplace can be healthier all round.

When I was 20 I actually bumped in to my manager in Spon Gate one night, after throwing a sicky.

Serves me right for going in there tbf.

it entirely depends on individual company policy and most workers actually can’t work from home in many businesses

Exactly , she has the ability to work from home so there is no need for her to be in when she’s sick.

On a side not, she’s just emailed everyone in the office telling them each individually telling them how much holiday they have left for the year and that they need to take it.

Last time I checked , it was our decision when we ask for our holiday, she by all means has the right to reject the request as she is the manager , but she can’t tell us we have to take them. We all know if we don’t take it we lose it.

I’m the wrong side of 35 but am glad my youth was spent downing cheap pints rather than driving to a fucking chip shop.

Tiktok is full of people who like to chat shit, got too much time on their hands, attention seeking fuckwit cretins who prey on the vulnerable and weak. just a whole lot of waste of fucking time.

well that's what I got from it anyway when I once glanced over to see what my niece was doing. horrible app one of the worst out there and I don't see what good it actual does at all.

My brother in law and his girlfriend came round ours for the night the other week. My mrs, him and his mrs were all on it, scrolling through all the videos - volume up. Fucking hell, it was unbearable.

You know when someone has a tv remote and just flicks through channels aimlessly? And you just want to get the remote and impale them with it.

Yeah, I always prick up my ears at that one.

The only people I can think of who have it worse are Derby fans.

Years ago 3 of our Directors went on a works visit. When the cameras panned around at Headingly, there they were with a glass in hand!

A vintage TV restoration foum I subscribe to logs me out every 24 hours then complains about a 'lack of posts' from members.

Not as bad though as the Coventry Transport forum which is damn near impossible to log into.

Can i add "living my best life"? (seemingly most often made in the context of some announcement about their gender and/or sexuality - neither of which i give a fuck about!)

or when interviewees give their answer then when they get to the end, and it sounds like they might have more to say, and they say "soooo ... yeah" and stop!

and when they make a statement And then point out and highlight the obvious that every else is thinking as if they’re not wrong…

“Yeah,look…listen. I think Man Utd will win the league this year. Listen, Yes, I know they haven’t been great in the last decade but under Ten Haag blah blah blah”

Bit of a Larry David moment yesterday I was in the bank yesterday , there were 2 people in front of me . The person at the front came out of the queue to use the cash point , then the second person got served and the first person then went in front of me in the queue . I said that I was next as they came out of the queue but my wife said let them go next .
