They're officially on my list

[TordelBack]

The entire parasitic 'management' class, who arrive in a workplace at three-to-four times the average salary, take twice the holidays, fail to take any measures to assess, quantify or (god forbid) manage existing problems, install further expensive consultants who they know from school or golf club, blame the workers that were there before they arrived for unacceptable costs and failure to increase revenue, then use what little energy they actually choose to expend on their job in engineering elaborate schemes to make people's jobs non-viable without their being able to reliably prove constructive dismissal, and watch gleefully as they leave without the hassle of paying them redundancy, taking experience, expertise and commitment out of the business.

Then when the whole thing is six months to a year or so from collapsing in on itself, pull the consultants out, point to the reduced ongoing costs as a personal triumph and leave the dying body for a new doomed host, wafted away on the angel wings of illusory success.  When comfortably installed, point to the failed business from the veranda of the yacht club, and say "it wasn't like that when I was in charge".

Them.  They're on my list.

"At the end of the day..." comes evening one assumes!

"Try looking at it this way..." Horizontal? Vertical? Or do they mean I should just agree with what they're saying.

"It's one of those days again!" What, a Thursday? Yes, it is.

Cheers

Reviews that aren't reviews at all, but a fairly autistic "and then this happened, and then that happened, and this happened" run-through of the points of the story.

"Your delivery will arrive between 8am and 6pm"

So I wait in all day (having taken a day off work) and my new toilet arrives at 4pm only to look like someone threw it down a flight of stairs and then finished it off with a hammer, AND it's the wrong kind of toilet, AND I then have to wait 4 weeks for a replacement, AND when they finally deliver it again after another day off work the delivery guys look at me like I'm the cunt!

B&Q – You're on the list!

Websites that report unsubstantiated gossip and try to get around it by putting a question mark in the headline.

Now THIS gets on my nerves! People throwing autism around like it's an adjective.

"To cut a long story short..."

Thats adding extra to it you muppet!

No, it's not — it's indicating to the listener/reader that you're omitting part of the story for brevity's sake — unless the bit you're omitting is less than six words, the net result is the shortening of the story.
