I asked her to please remind me when it was decided that I should do it and when I was told. <br /><br />"In the last staff meeting," I was told. "It's in the minutes!"<br /><br />"Oh", said I, "the staff meeting that I'm too lowly to attend and/or be copied in on the minutes......?"<br /><br />It was still my fault. zoeoutsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131008751791258564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-42877733414520533632015-12-20T23:38:44.233-08:002015-12-20T23:38:44.233-08:00I worked in a big hotel and we had a director who ...I worked in a big hotel and we had a director who was a nice man. When we were very busy he used to go into the kitchen remove his jacket ,roll up his sleeves and do the washing up !he wasn't a waiter or a chef and he didn't want to get in the way.At this time of year he was a godsend.<br />I do hope your daughter is ok,if only our children never got ill.<br />Wishing you a calm christmas .LizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-81787481175149844202015-12-20T11:50:04.754-08:002015-12-20T11:50:04.754-08:00Working for a bully does not bring the best out in...Working for a bully does not bring the best out in anyone, I was an area manager for Avon Cosmetics for 6 years, and one manager was a bully, our sales figure were 'keep your job targets', the manager did not last that long.

Cheeky bugger. I had a fantastic boss at one job who wouldn't ask his staff to do anything he wasn't prepared to do himself.
