POWER TO THE PEEEPULLLLLLLLL!!!
Around 9.30 this morning, the boss-lady calls for a “Quick team meeting, let’s just have a huddle here, no need for a room.” We all huddle. We are all quiet.
I try not to look smug.
“There has been a reversal, and the agreement to purchase holidays now rests with me again, rather than coming down from on high.”
I went to lunch with one of the PA’s who I think is more sick of her job than I am. I get more of the picture.
Seems I wasn’t the only one talking to people. Z has been overheard shouting, “I can’t believe he went to HR,” while throwing his hands in the air.
I also know that another colleague (who I had spent all afternoon emailing back and forth with about what we were going to do, and what cheeky fuckers management were, and how stupid they were to think we wouldn’t fight it) had sent an email to her boss before she left last night, listing all the points with which she disagreed.
She was particularly unhappy because the closing date for her selections was midnight last night, and she had been made to remove them (she has managed to reinstate them now, thank goodness).
Anyway, her boss came in at 8.30, Z is always in at 8. Immediately they went into one of the spare offices, where once again there was much arm waving by Z.
I have spoken to K, a bloke who works in LELI’s team, who is a manager grade but the structure of the team is basically shite, he has nobody working for him, the whole team reports to the tit-touching monkey, and the whole team hates it. I know there is a structure change coming (from LELI), and I can guess that it splits the team into two, half reporting to K, half reporting to the monkey. I also know there will be vacancies.
I have told K that I am very interested should there be a position under him at my level.
