I can relate to that comment about the management not realising that something's up. The last six months, we've had about 6-7 people leave for other jobs for no other reason than that they don't like our TL and our manager. And still, the manager and the TL doesn't pick up on it.
A fairy tale.

And on top of all that, there's AuntyCo that can't add up right.
Oh no, that's my life, not yours...

We'd ask you to spill the beans but if you're still installed there

I think there's a conversation somewhere that links to a press release.

Actually, EV, the way I remember it was "The man who is tired of NRES has started the training."
A fairy tale.

That's a bit harsh, Veers. Some of the training was quite interesting.
Come to think of it, that was the bit at the end of the training when we went to the pub. 
Boneheads' Bank Holiday.

A quick update:
Tomorrow is Good Friday. This Monday is Easter Monday. Bank Holidays, if you will. Days of rest, tranquility and bored children being dragged around garden centres. That's except for employees of ChasCo who, at the insistence of DaveCorp, will be chained to their desks sweating blood as usual tomorrow.
For Monday, however, ChasCo has reached a compromise. We can have the day off. But we have to make up the hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Merry Christmas, ChasCo.

That sucks big time I thought one of the perks of getting a job was finally getting bank holidays off (they don't let us have them off at uni 
)

Perks? Job? Who's been lying to you?
I thought one of the perks of being a student was having months of holidays at a time...

Well money's a start, at least you don't have to survive on toast...

Me neither, but you get all sorts in here.

That's true. Maybe I could swap my toast with them for something else.
