The Assassination of David Brent
We had to do an appraisal on Brent yesterday afternoon. As you can imagine I had a great time and was very very honest in my answers.
To be fair though, he didn't come off too badly. It's not like he's a twat for no reason. He is a twat, don't get me wrong, but because the powers that be keep him so busy and make him stress out and so he loses his rag and becomes a twat - a bit like The Hulk but not quite as cool.
Ok, imagine David Brent has the power to change into The Sulk who's, say, I don't know, maybe a pale lavender colour, and his catchphrase "Don't make me grumpy, you wouldn't like me when I'm grumpy..." - you get the picture.
Anyway, the general gist was that the four other girls present were quite soft on him because they "know him so well" but I was quite honest and gave my answers as I see him - he's unapproachable, moody, has appalling body language (I think huffin' and puffin' could come in this category) and he ignores me until he wants to publicly belittle me. I think that's fair.
Boy, was it fun...

Good for you. I always hated the times I was graded by my staff, and yes I always had reasons to be grumpy (they made sure I had those reasons daily). But I was a good boss I protected them from our upper management and they never even knew many a time when they f* *ked up I saved them from being canned. And I sooooooooo don't miss all of that. S
I totally believe in what comes around, goes around.
Sounds like he may be getting his due shortly, huh?
:)
Does he get to find out who wrote what about him?
Sadly it is all 'anonymous', June though I bet he has a fair idea!
