I saw this shit in the nineties also, but I thought it was just a wave. Seems a tsunami.

I just took a quick glance at his office bookshelf before I shit in his outbox. "good to great", " the 10x rule", and a pile of other crap. This is a "leader" with absolutely no engineering qualifications or skills. Never seen anything like it in my life. Thats the problem right there, they aint leaders, they give themselves fancy titles such as "team leader", they are nothing more than managers, whose remit appears to be, "to manage the process" Dont get me started on those QC kants, Hardhats, high viz jackets, safety shoes and a effin clipboard, write you up for safety violations, but offer no solutions, "we are only here to monitor the operations, not offer solutions" The botton line is, no one cares, no one will even know you are gone, next week, rgs, who is he? The job will still get done, and no the place wont fall apart because you are not there. I could write effin reams on this subject.

So true indeed the graveyard is full of people who thought they were indispensable, yet strangely enough this old world keeps on turning despite their absence.

The CEO asked me to stay. Not a chance. The mob down the road have been told I go to Thailand for 3 months a year and they are happy with that. All good.

Seems this is the new way. Along with man buns and male finger nail polish. Well, I must admit to have seen similar books pop up in the 90-tish. Same 'all inspiring' stuff. That's when I decided that being a team leader and moving further steps up the management path would be a downfall for me and I stayed on the technical side ever since. What with all changes in IT I doubt I would have survived for long as manager, but as techie I'm still there if only because someone is needed to keep the show running You were never management material Uncle rubl....now fetch my nail file and man bag old chap.

I've been told my drug cupboard must be locked at all times. Unfortunately that means no one can access the drugs if I'm having a p**s or brew. We're talking about the kind of drugs you really wouldn't want to steal unless you were bleeding to death or playing at being Sleeping Beauty not the Class A stuff I keep properly locked in the vault. Some effing managerial bullsheet which of course I just ignore in an appropriate manner.

To think I used to be a mild mannered smokie without a bad bone in my body.....I blame Pochettino and Kane for raising our hopes then cruelly dashing them.

The sod in question is from South Africa. And now the dregs are answering to Kimbala from Nigeria. Australia is rooted.
